Law Application UCL/LSE/Kings and LNAT and personal statement help

I’m in Y13 and predicted A*AA as of now in English Lit, History and Maths respectively, though I’m fairly sure I can push my A in History to an A*. I wrote my personal statement with the intention of applying Oxford but now that I don’t want to go, I’m unsure if it’s the best for the London unis as Oxford Law is very heavy theology and philosophy based, also all my college cares about is Oxbridge and med/dent so all the advice and help is geared towards them.

I was also unsure about my GCSEs as whilst they were decent I heard LSE puts a big emphasis on them and everyone ik who got in got straight 9s-I got 9988888777 at a fairly mid highschool

I’d also really appreciate LNAT help because there’s hardly anything available and I planned on buying arbitio but that seems to have gone down, like how long in advance should I revise for,what scores would I need etc🙏🙏

All in all I just wanted to know how best to prepare and make a solid application and what these unis in particular will be looking for in their applications and also if I am actually even a competitive applicant,cos all my friends are haters and are saying I’m gearing up to go 0/4- I know how ridiculously competitive these unis are but honestly for me if I don’t get offers from a uni I want to go I will hundred percent be taking a gap year so I don’t see the point of more then 1 or max 2 safeties

Any help much appreciated thank you(especially if anyone could review my personal statement)🙏🙏🙏

Hi, we're basically in the same boat except im not applying to oxford but Cambridge, to revise for my LNAT i use Leslie ho's complete lnat guide and try to do a mock a day, do you mind me asking how much revision you've done so far and when you will be taking the test?

Also Uni admissions website has great examples of personal statements that got offers from oxford law!

So I started revising a little bit like hour everyday for like a week or so in end of July did my first ever practice and got 25/42 and haven’t touched it since tbh because of coursework and trying to get predicteds up, it’s booked as of now for October 11th but I’ll prolly change it to early November im not sure how long you should really revise for it.Also I’ll be buying the new LNAT Providence Plus. What scores have you been getting if I may ask?

No problem! On the Leslie Ho mock passages i've been getting like 26 with the highest i've ever got being 29

Also since you wanna apply to oxford i'm pretty sure you have to do the LNAT before oct 15th
