You worry too much

You need to go out and get wrecked. That is the answer to all of life's stresses :biggrin:.

I've heard they reject anyone with under 20. That may be a rumour, but I've read it in a lot of places. Anyway, how do you know your LNAT score?


I was told that my LNAT will be sent to me by post. But it's been 3 weeks since I took it, so I don't really know when it comes.

My essay was SUCKED :| I didnt even finish typing the last 2 words :| That's why I think that I could be rejected :frown:

I think everyone who takes the LNAT gets their score late-January/early-Feb. There is some random justification for not disclosing it to us before then :smile: Anyway, if it was just your essay that you thought was bad, don't worry about it - the only "cutoff" they have is for the MC score. If your personal statement is still good they'll just assume you messed up under pressure.

Also... 2 words?! I wrote 15 words over the limit, so they're going to cut them all... so I wouldn't be worrying about 2 words. I hope the unis know mine only stops mid-sentence because I was over the limit. Ahh.
I got an offer for Business Economics this morning! =]

36 pts and 4 for maths HL..yay!

It is, as I am aware, because they do not want any of your other Universities, the ones who ahven't paid for subscription to the LNAT service, knowing what you got on your LNAT. Mightly unfair on those that have paid otherwise.

I'm pretty sure they will. They've had a fair few years dealing with LNAT now. I wouldn't lose sleep over a few missing words, as long as you demonstrated an ability to argue in the essay as a whole, they won't be too fussed that your conclusion is cut short.

I'm applying for Law at Durham, so obviously I've only received my confirmation so far...

...but for those who are interested, two of my best friends received offers for Physics yesterday.

EDIT: At Van Mildert! Because Mildert is blatantly the best college.
