Durham law low LNAT

I’m hoping to get into law LLB this year at Durham but I scored 19/42 on the LNAT. I have 5As at higher, predicted 3As at advanced higher, two forms of law work experience but I fear that my LNAT will let me down. I know that the Durham average is normally a lot higher, but I’m wondering what my chances are of getting an offer since I’ve scored below the average LNAT.

There's no reason you can't, LNAT is considered as just part of the application. I have read about others on TSR receiving offers with less. Plus the average (21/42) is lower this year than normal (23/42), so perhaps this will help you, as it seems like a tough year.

Hi, thanks that’s great to hear well done. Just wondering what your stats are ie are you contextual/non contextual or home/international, and a level predicted?

Hi, thank you. I’m non contextual, home, and my predicted a levels are A*AB, so lower than what they asked for. Honestly shocked I’ve got an offer

I’m in the same position. 20 LNAT, predicted A*A*A achieved epq A* but I think I’ll be let down by LNAT. Gcses 998887777. Non-contextual home state school.
