Uni application stress

Hi,
I have one week to my university deadline and I has a sort of average personal statement which im not really happy with. Im applying to Oxford, warwick, nottingham and bristol for Law.
I have a bunch of questions related to my personal statement because I have had really limited guidance.
For my personal statement: I have read articles and sat in lectures and read various academic blogs and also done a nuffield research report. BUT I haven't read any full book and i noticed that in all the personal statements people have read like 2 -3 books. Would what I have so far be enough?
Another question: Im really interested in the philosophy behind the law BUT i am applying for a LAW degree. Is it okay for me to talk about utilitarianism and its implications of the law for the majority of my personal statement?
Also, how much practice am i actually supposed to do for the LNAT because there is limited resources online. And I have two weeks to go.

Thank you so much Id really appreciate if anybody replied

Are all of your law choices use the LNAT? Would you consider a non LNAT one?

Reflect on the book, nuffield science report, blogs, lectures, articles - it is fine
Reflection is more important than the actual thing you have done
If philosophy of law interests you, talk about it
