UCL law applicants 2020

Hi there! I hold a deferred offer for the school from my application in 2019 (so I’ll see some of you next year I guess). Anyways there’s no need to panic about the silence now. Most of the offers come out really late. In fact, I only got mine around March this year. Hope that helped!

Hi. Do you think UCL and other competitive unis still accept applications for law at this juncture? Do they have a different deadline from 15 Jan 2020? I know applications to Oxford and Cambridge are closed.

Has anyone got offers yet?

They do still accept applications up to 15th Jan yes but don't forget you will also need to get the LNAT done in time for UCL LSE, Kings, Durham, Bristol, Nottingham, Glasgow and SOAS (not compulsory at SOAS).

Hey guys, I am in my first year at UCL Laws. If I had to give one piece of advice it would be to really focus on your LNAT essay, which is heavily weighted in the application process here. Do not leave the essay practice til late! If you want any more advice just PM me I'm happy to provide any help as I was in your position this time last year

This means I won't get in since I completely ran out of time and thus messed up my essay... Do you think I still have at least a small chance of getting in?

You can never tell. I thought I had failed mine but I got an offer from Bristol and an Oxford interview. Honestly you are the worst person to judge how well you’ve done 🙃

As a holistic approach to your application is taken, just because you "messed up" your essay definitely will not automatically lead to a rejection! Also, I am sure you did much better than expected! As long as what you have written is good it'll be fine IMO! The tutor reading your essay takes into account that you had to write the essay under pressure. Don't worry too much!

I obtained 2A* 1A in my A Level (Psychology, Business Studies and Sociology). However, my IGCSE grades aren't that great. I am planning to read law. Given my results, what are the good unis for law that I stand a chance in being accepted? I am thinking of LSE, UCL, KING'S, DURHAM and BRISTOR. Please advise.

Thank you.

You should post this on the Law forum (start a new thread) because this thread is specifically about UCL

Hi. Would I stand a good chance for law if these are my A Levels : A* (Psych) A* (Business) A (Sociology)? I only have 5 IGCSEs and they are not great. =P

If I have strong application but messed up on the LNAT essay should I give up on getting into UCL? My PS is strong too I just didn't think the LNAT would that important.

I have an IB score of 39 in total with 7s in my lang and lit subjects (Spanish and English HL ) but I didn't take the LNAT seriously and now I'm not sure how badly its gonna hurt my application. Im not from the UK so maybe its explained differently there but here they told me it was just something you had too (not even prepare for) for the sake of applying to law universities in the UK. Like some sort of IQ test thingy that you go and do, I did quite well on the MCQ (i think) but i was surprised at how intense it was. However the essay questions caught me off guard and wrote a miserably short essay that I rushed in the last 10m.
