Don't know about Durham specifically but I'd assume so, I got 27 and got offers from all 5 I applied to (Oxford, UCL, KCL, Bristol and Cardiff)

Definitely - I just received an offer with 28. although, it seems Durham places quite a lot of weight on the essay too so depends how you think that went

How much weight do they place on the essay? Is it the same as UCL?

I don't think there's any way of truly telling, Ive just seen a couple people get rejected from Durham with <30 LNAT scores due to their essay so it seems like the essay is more important than a super high LNAT score. I haven't applied or looked into UCL so not too sure!

I got 21 in my LNAT, is it too low for Durham?

i got rejected for my essay with an mcq score of 31, but i've seen some people get offers with lower scores so i think they might look at the essay section more than the mcq section!
