Bristol Law Not Put On Hold

I applied to Bristol Law in early December and have not heard anything back, and haven't been put on hold. Is this a bad sign? I've seen a lot of people be put on hold and I don't know what to think about me not.

It just means they have not yet assessed your application.
(Have you taken LNAT - do they have your results?)
It doesn’t mean anything either way.

Yes I took the LNAT in mid-november and they have my results

Sorry just saw this comment and wondered if you got a confirmation they had received your LNAT results? I also applied early December and have heard nothing, not anything about my LNAT either.

I have not heard anything from Bristol and applied in time for the early deadline with LNAT and UCAS. I believe I am contextual for Bristol so maybe that makes a difference, but I really don't see that being the case. I have already had an Oxbridge interview and Durham offer so I can presume my LNAT is not to bad so I am also really confused as to why I have not been held as I applied a good few months ago now!

same here i applied back in october and nothing, i think they might just be assessing applications in a randomised order bc i also emailed their admissions team a couple weeks ago and they said we just have to wait

After applying in October I was put on hold last week and received an offer yesterday. So I think Bristol are rather random in how they are responding.

League Table position does not signify 'better' - its just commercialised marketing fluff. And, increasingly, leading law firms are recruiting Uni blind so any ideas you might have had about this are a bit dated.
