Should I defer my Nottingham and potential Warwick offer to reapply to UCL, I messed up on my LNAT pretty badly but the rest of my stats were good I believe (A*A*A + A) and 999777765, I think if I had a decent LNAT I could’ve got in since I saw someone with almost the same as mine just different LNAT, I’m thinking if I crack down on the LNAT from now and revise it all summer, if I reapply I could get in and if I don’t, I still have Warwick or Nottingham, how does this sound? And any tips for the LNAT since my revision wasn’t good enough plus if I do this I have to be 99% sure they’ll take me as my African parents hate the idea of a gap year

You cannot apply to a university while holding a deferred offer. You cannot be 99% sure of obtaining an offer from UCL. I suggest that you go to Warwick or Nottingham.

I'd argue wait until all your decisions are in, either way Warwick and Nottingham are great law schools and won't put you at a large disadvantage when it comes to the law field. One big tip for the LNAT is don't neglect the essay part, especially for UCL. I got rejected from UCL because of my essay, and they use it as a large part of an admissions. A weak MCQ can be saved by a great essay but a bad essay cannot be saved by a strong MCQ.
