Uni options

I am applying to LSE, KCL, Manchester Notts And Warwick for law, with my predictions being A*AA, however my LNAT test results have been up and down and my essays aren’t great. After my LNAT on Monday, is it best to swap KCL with an insurance uni like Liverpool? Doing this widens my options in case my LNAT doesn’t go as planned.

However I could still keep KCL even if my LNAT doesn’t go as planned, because I am applying to many solicitor apprenticeships so even if I don’t get many offers, I have the apprenticeship.
What’s the best thing to do?

You've got 3 non-LNAT options, so I don't see a reason to swap KCL. I'd say keep KCL. It's also worth noting that I don't think LSE look at essays at all, and KCL also affords very little weight to the essay section. Best of luck!

This apprenticeship is not guaranteed - and very unlikely to be honest. I would not pin any hope on that.

If you do not do well on LNAT - then you should consider switching LNAT unis out.

However, LSE will be a harder uni to get into than KCL so I would consider switching them out over KCL. I would keep KCL in regardless of the score.

When do you receive your results for LNAT? Research this form for the scores LSE/KCL usually accept.

Liverpool is a good option - they will almost certainly give you an offer and they are a good insurance choice

All this “safety” uni stuff is so disturbing, apply to unis u want go to, if u get rejected there’s always next year, and there’s always apprenticeships.
