LNAT result is 18, should I swap my course at LSE

I just got my LNAT score back and I got 18. I feel that's way too low for LSE, even though I'm predicted 3 A*. I'm thinking about whether I should withdraw from the LLB course from LSE and swap it for the Law and Anthropology course instead. Is this a wise choice, or is there a strong chance I will be rejected from that course.

how did u get your results?? i keep refreshing my email and there’s nothing 😭 the average lse score is 27/28 so i think you’re have a better chance at law and anthro

I feel like a lot of people have had that problem. Some people are saying it's alphabetical or region based. Hope you get a great result though, thanks for the advice!

Don't beat yourself up about this. Honestly, don't let an IQ test determine your success. I'm sure you will get into an amazing Uni, just hold your head high and keep working!

Congrats into getting into Durham!! I just recently got into Durham Law and also had a 17 on the LNAT. I think this is because I read somewhere that they focus more on your written part than the multiple-choice question. But for example I also applied to Kings and they rejected me since they said that my admission test was not competitive enough. SO I think its more about what the uni takes into consideration about the LNAT.
