Chances of Glasgow for Law

Hi, I’m a Scottish student. Non contextual. Achieved AAAAB at higher last year with a B in biology. Lnat 23. I done reach based on extenuating circumstances and passed so maybe that will help?
Could you guys be brutally honest? What are my chances at getting into Glasgow University for Scot’s law , I applied for joint honours
Got rejected from Strathclyde

To be brutally honest you’re a very borderline candidate for this course (in general you have amazing stats and should be very proud) so it’s very hard to tell. Your LNAT is solid but you only just meet the minimum grades so that could be a dealbreaker unless you have some great predicted grades. If you do receive an offer it would likely be atleast 2 Bs at AH or another 2 As in further highers so getting one would only happen if you have the ability (you’re taking enough further qualifications this year) to meet this. Saying that, they will look at personal statement and predicted grades. Overall if you meet these extra grades in your predicted you have a solid chance but not a definite one. Rooting for you xx

As far as an LNAT score goes, 23 exceeds both the national average and Glasgows usual ‘cut off score’ , whilst also meeting their average score of accepted candidates- so I’d say your chances are fairly high in this regard.
In reference to your Scottish grades, I’m an English student who did A- Levels so I can’t help hugely, although I’m fairly sure I’ve seen other students with those grades receive offers( perhaps contextual) for Scot’s law, so perhaps your programme will be helpful here-
To be ‘brutally honest’ as per your request, I’d say your LNAT will be good enough to get you an offer, it’s merely a question of your grades missing the final A- I’d like to think that would be okay, although I can’t be sure of course, wishing you best of luck.

I have the exact same stats as you (well except for a B in higher maths not bio), same LNAT score and all, also joint honours, and idk if this is any help but I know from people doing this course that grades aren’t their biggest priority. People who get 5As get rejected, but people with lower grades, a good LNAT (as is 23 in this case) and a strong personal statement are more likely to get in than the person getting 5As with a weak statement. I wouldn’t get too discouraged by Strathclyde, even though they’re ranked lower, they base entry requirements on grades above all. Personally I’m holding onto hope based on my strong personal statement (lots of extra curriculars, leadership, legal work experience etc) as that’s far more likely to stand out for them! I wish you the best of luck!

Yeah, I’m honestly still really disappointed about biology - my school had no teachers for it last year after my teacher got very very ill so this has been considered an extenuating circumstance as I was on track for an A earlier in the year, so I really hope that’s enough

You should be really proud of your grades and LNAT- they’re amazing results-
I think even if that B wasn’t a result of an extenuating circumstance, you would’ve still done enough for an offer(comfortably), and given the B is altered due to your circumstance it absolutely should be-
I really wish I could be more certain of this, as this really should be the case, although many people( myself included) have no idea what could happen with their application, as it seems there’s no consistency whatsoever in the way they select people-
which is extremely annoying for those waiting for an offer, or waiting to see if their existing offer will be made unconditional( which is my situation)-
in my opinion there really needs to be more clarity regarding usual LNAT requirements/ offers shouldn’t be made unless they’re certain, as it leaves us applicants in complete limbo with other offers they may have been made, still waiting for Glasgow which we really want.

Thanks, I really hope your offer becomes an unconditional
It sucks how there’s like no consistency in their applicant selection
I saw a few people on here last year with the same grades/Lnat as me get in when the Lnat average was higher.
I’m superrr worried about the 2007 baby boom thing, I think even though I never wanted to go to Strathclyde the rejections really put me down

Thank you!
I’ve seen the same across what seems like every Glasgow law thread in existence- bare in mind- if they were to reject you for your LNAT result, it could only be as a result of them getting a higher amount of higher scores than usual( significantly)-
which would be very unlikely given the cohort average is the lowest it’s been in 3 years, and it’s most likely that the Glasgow applicants are on the lower end of that average, with Oxbridge and London unis potentially being the unis with higher LNAT applicants, who bring the cohort average score up.
With this in mind, they would’ve let people in with 18/19 year after year and rejected you based on 1 grade- this seems admittedly unlikely, but we never know ofc-
It’s also totally normal to feel that demotivation/ disappointment ofc- I’ve felt the same during the process, but only you know what your abilities are, and you’re also the only person who can determine your worth and potential, not some University that’s most likely rejected you in a pile of others they’re viewed as numbers.

Does Glasgow commonly let people with 18/19 in?

I can’t be sure exactly how many people with these grades they let in on any certain year of course, however I do know that they’re cut off score in the 2020-2021 year( a year with an almost identical cohort average to this year) was 18-
With this in mind, I can imagine there were a decent amount of offers that they made to students who achieved 19 before deciding their cut off score, meaning once they had, these students would have met their condition, and received a full offer-
I scored 19 this year, and if you scored 18 or 19, I totally understand the awkward situation you’re in waiting for them to decide if it’s good enough, even if they’ve already given you an offer-
I wish I could be more certain, but they’ve definitely let people in with these scores before- every year I see people on this platform talking about how they got in, and lots of their classmates on the course achieved scores like 18/19, so it seems to be a consistent thing, provided that the rest of your application was strong!

Yes I’m in a similar situation, 5As, 19 LNAT but two forms of work experience. Hope we both hear good news!
