Glasgow law

So I was just wondering what Glasgow think of gap years on their law course
If in rejected this year from them, if I did lots of legal experience and got a good lnat again, would that benefit my application?

Anyone know/ is a student at Glasgow university law that took a gap year/ what to do?

I’ve taken a gap year for this purpose, just as an English student, but hope this helps as the premise is the same-

I re-applied on 14th October for common law, and received an offer on the 21st October( Conditional) after they had already seen my LNAT score, which was 19-

I can’t be sure, but doing a gap year seems to be no harm, if anything it shows a further commitment to going to their uni if you took a year out just to go-

and ofc as you mentioned it will allow you to get much further experience than those applying in their original year, which may help if you put that in your reference as your reason for the gap year-

Moreover, if you apply with achieved grades that meet their entry requirements, they won’t have any skepticism over whether or not you’ll meet the grades, as you’ve already proved you have,

But overall- if you hold good offers this year currently- I’d highly recommend taking them, as the re-application process has been both long, inefficient not being in school for UCAS support, and even more stressful than my first application last year, as now I’ve already taken a year out and don’t have anything to fall back on,

Although if you really want to go to Glasgow, then having to take a gap year if things don’t work out this year won’t be frowned upon in the way it may be at other universities( which I don’t think is justified anyway),

Sorry for long reply, but hope this helps in the context of a Scottish student

Hey! I don't know if you're still waiting on responses, but I am a resit student this year and applied to Glasgow for Common Law - got an offer less than a week after sending my application!

Well done on your offer!
Was it conditional to a satisfactory LNAT score?

Thank you! And yes it was - I wasn't too worried about that though as I had scored well the previous year and thought it would probably be similar this year 😊
