2025 Cambridge, UCL, KCL, or LSE law offers?

Hi, I'm in year 13 right now and submitted my application for Law LLB at UCL, KCL, LSE, and Cambridge (Gonville & Caius) in early October (because of the early Oxbridge deadline) and I did the LNAT in early September. I'm wondering if anyone has started receiving offers from these unis yet or interview invites to Cambridge? Is it generally too early for offers right now? So far I haven't heard anything other than that my application has been received and is being processed.

I'm predicted A*A*A* (Maths, Chemistry, Biology) and have a strong personal statement so the only thing that I'm really worried about is the LNAT - I did revise for it, of course, but it is so hard to estimate how I did.

I applied the exact same unis as you, with Durham as my 5th. I havent seen any offers for those 4 at all, did you use arbitio for the LNAT?

Oh okay - I didn't use arbitio but I did use a book with many many questions I got on amazon 🤷 Maybe they are waiting to consider our applications alongside the ones that weren't sent in early... let me know if you end up getting offers :smile: Good luck!

My application is an almost exact copy of yours, except I applied to Oxford. I only received their acknowledgment of my application and have not heard anything else.

I also applied to very similar unis and also Goville and Cauis!! I've been anticipating something about the interview soon as it is nearly December, but I heard they tend to give interviews a bit later. Best of luck!

Applied to Oxford, KCL, LSE and UCL and only have acknowledgements. Ik for Cambridge they started sending out interview invites, but I think for Oxford they have not yet...
they said for Law invitations will be sent out from Monday 18th November
i received a law interview from Caius yesterday 😊
Applied for Ox UCL LSE KCL and QMUL last year. You should hear back from Oxbridge this week for the interview. Oxford gives decisions in the 2nd week of January, Cambridge last week of January. QMUL responded in 2 weeks. King’s law March, UCL in April, LSE in May. Relax and focus on your A-levels. If and when you hear back about the interview, focus on preparation. But let the offers come when they come.
I was offered a Cambridge interview at Girton but was rejected from KCL due to my LNAT score 😭 I'm not sad about KCL as I didn't want it in the first place but Cambridge is my dream and so does this mean I stand no chance even with the interview??

Congrats - can I ask what your predicted grades are?

Oxbridge admissions are more holistic and take into account other aspects of your application. For instance, King's don't even look at your LNAT essay, whereas Oxbridge put a lot of emphasis on it. I'm surprised you already received a rejection from King's, I thought they would wait until March at least. Did they say it was because of the LNAT?

Yeah of course! I'm predicted A*A*A* with an A* EPQ and two AS levels (both As). My personal statement was strong and I have got good experience, but my LNAT is what let me down. I know the KCL cut off is exceptionally high but I can't help but worry that it won't be high enough for Cambridge!

Yes- they said it was an uncompetitive score which has really lowered my confidence. But thank you! I do think the essay was my stronger part and I can't have completely messed it up if I've been offered an interview... right?! Fingers crossed the interview goes well

Don’t worry about Kings, they don’t know how to truthfully reject applications.. I got 29 in my LNAT last year and they rejected me for that reason. My friend (a domestic student) got accepted with 28. A foreign student that I know got accepted with 24. For the record I’m reapplying this year because I went to UCL for History through clearing and I’ve also been shortlisted for an interview got Girton Law.

My friend just got rejected from KCL for the same reason too! I applied to Cambridge, KCL, UCL, Bristol and Warwick. So far, I've only received an offer from Warwick for A*AA. My friend's news really shook me, cause I haven't heard anything back yet from the rest.
