UCL contextual law offer

I want to apply to study law at UCl but I can only get in using the contextual offer of BBB, is it common for them to give out contextual grades for law and if so how many LNAT points did you need for them to give you an offer?

If you are eligible for a contextual offer, and if UCL decide to make you an offer, then you will receive a contextual offer. That don't "ration" them. If every applicant was eligible for a contextual offer one year (by some weird statistical fluke), then they'd all receive a contextual offer. They key question is whether or not you are eligible. Are you? You can find out here.

In terms of the LNAT, from this page:

"In the academic year 2021/22, the average LNAT score of test results received by UCL was 21, and the average LNAT score of candidates who received an offer at UCL was 28. For contextual offers, the average LNAT score of candidates who received an offer at UCL was 26. Please note that there is no score that will guarantee an offer."

I got a contextual offer from UCL this year and my LNAT score was 26 if that helps! One issue though is that it took so long for them to send me an offer that most of the accommodation was already booked. I got my offer 31st March which was quite late I think so might have to take that into consideration.

Do you mind me asking when you applied? Because if you applied in like October then that is a very long wait haha

I'd like to hope so, I got 27 myself but the student room is only demoralising considering most people on here seem to have 30+ in the MQCs lol. Good luck though!

I ended up with a contextual offer last year with LNAT 26 and I dont think I was predicted any A* grades either. Bs and As I believe. I think I saw somewhere that UCL take into account the essay portion a bit more, so whether you get an offer may depend on that. Good luck though :smile:

Very late but they gave me a contextual offer of BBB. I ended up picking a different uni instead but I would have been able to attend UCL with that offer and the grades I ended up with :smile:

Do you receive your LNAT score after the exam?

No. You receive the MCQ score in February from Pearson VUE. The essays are usually marked internally and you may receive a mark from the universities you’ve applied to that consider the essay section, but this will depend on the specific university’s LNAT policy.

You recieve it quite a bit after the exam. I think it might have been around two months maybe?
