Do I have any chance at KCL law

My predicted A-level grades are A*A*A*. My GCSEs are 9998888776. I think I have a decent reference and personal statement I did a lot of supercurriculars such as two law course residentials, reading law books, listening to podcasts, prizes won in MUN and on law courses etc etc. However when I was taking the LNAT I had lots of family stuff so I think I flunked it and got maybe around 22-24 if I'm being optimistic. Do I stand any chance at getting into King's for Law? I know the LNAT counts for a lot.

Your grades and supercurriculars make you a strong candidate for law so well done on that! However, KCL (and LSE) put a large emphasis on the LNAT score and disregard the essay. I can only speak from my own experience but I got rejected last year because my score of 28 was too low and I had 4 A*s predicted with a very strong personal statement. Ultimately, it seems like your chances are reduced if the LNAT didn't go the way you planned but honestly don't give up all hope because you never know what this year's cohort is like or who you are up against! I hope this helps :smile:

Rejected for a 28? I heard the average for UCL is around 29, so now I'm super nervous. I'm predicted 3 A* and an A* Extended Project. I've done two work experiences and have been shortlisted/awarded for two essay competitions. My LNAT is on Thursday this week and I'm super nervous!
