Offer for law before lnat results

Hi i got an offer from university of glasgow to study law. In my offer it says i need satisfactory completion of Lnat, so, before i firm the offer, im wondering if they already have my lnat results. Because why would they send me an offer without knowing my Lnat results? Does anyone know if the unis get the results before us?

Glasgow confuse many applicants every year with the stupid way they do this. They haven't even decided what the minimum LNAT score they need is yet, and won't until after the equal consideration deadline on 29th January. So they don't know whether your LNAT is "satisfactory" or not right now - yet they send these offers out anyway.
The condition in your offer is that you achieve a "satisfactory completion of LNAT" where satisfactory meets "at least the minimum score we haven't worked out yet". Once they've worked out what the minimum LNAT score will be, one of two things will happen - depending on how your LNAT score compares with the minimum score. They'll either remove that condition from your offer (as you'll have met it) or they'll inform you that you've not met a condition of the offer, which will be withdrawn as a result.
So, don't firm the offer. Wait until you know whether or not the offer survives the next few weeks or not.
(Also, as a general rule, don't make firm and insurance decisions this early anyway. There's just no point. So many students make the decision early, change their minds, and then have to go through the pain of trying to undo it - which isn't always possible. Wait until March or April.)

Thanks very much !!

Ditto.

I have never been able to fathom this - do they actually set a minimum score or is this entirely fake and they just ask for LNAT to make themselves look like a competitive Uni, but actually totally ignore received scores?

Interesting question. I'd never thought of that.

You're welcome. You might like to read this thread where a member of the Glasgow admissions team - with the title "International Officer (Europe)" - attempts to justify the bizarre approach they take. Personally, I was not convinced.
