Hiya
I'm considering applying for Maths/Classics at Glasgow (A-levels Maths Further Maths Classics), however I cant find much information or opinions about it online... which is to be expected I guess, they don't usually come together. Glasgow seems to be the only place that does it!
I posted something about this here.
If you know anything about this course or know anyone that does, please reply to it!

Hii did anyone see on Glasgow unis website that the LNAT is under review? Has anyone not booked it and it’s going to sit it because it might not be needed?

Hi, I booked mine at the start of September and it's in the middle of November so I'm not sure. I think for now they're saying we have to just wear face masks in the centre's and can wear gloves as well. I think there will probably be a lockdown soon due to the second wave so we may not even do the LNAT and idk if they're going to put something in place to substitute that or if they're going to let us apply without it. But for now, I'm going to carry on studying for it as if it was still to go ahead.

Hii, good luck for your LNAT if you get to sit it! Yeah I heard that too, I wonder if they’ll cancel everyone from doing it, I’ll start studying but no one I know has booked theirs and my schools told us to forget about the LNAT as it’ll be cancelled and not a requirement although I’m going to work as though it’s still going ahead! Might email Glasgow uni again and find out

I know I'm a bit confused because I don't want to study for the LNAT if I won't end up sitting it, instead of focusing on studying for my subjects in school. But then again I don't want to not study in case it does in fact go ahead. I might email the admissions office as well and check but I haven't heard any news about it being cancelled yet, and my school has advised me to keep studying for it.

Hi guys! I'm hoping to apply for Scots Law at UofG, entry 2021. I got AAAAB in S5 results and have completed Reach too. LNAT booked for mid October... how's everybody feeling about it? I'm not too confident. I seen on the UofG website that the LNAT was "under review"?
