UCL, LSE and KCL are super competitive and heavily over-subscribed. LNAT score is their first screen. It might be quite risky putting down 3 LNAT unis. You may consider substituting 1 or 2 LNAT unis with say Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham or Warwick. Good luck.

Yeah unless your fine with the possibility that you might get rejected from all 3, and have to settle with QMUL or Holloway. Manchester is a good pick imo

Just remember that LSE/KCL/UCL are ludicrously competitive for Law. They get thousands (yes, thousands) of applications each year, and many applicants who meet, and even exceed, the entry requirements will not get an offer. You could end up with no offers, or just an offer you later realise that you are unlikely to meet.
I'd suggest that you have two out-of-London choices that are not as competitive, and where you may be more likely to get an offer, and who might be more forgiving if you miss your grades next August. One tactic would be to apply to just LSE/KCL/UCL now, and leave two choices blank. Depending on any offers or rejections, you would then still have the option of adding two more strategic choices before the Jan deadline.

Be aware that most schools don't realise you can do this and you may need to be a bit stubborn!

Hiya. I’m also in year 13 and sitting my lnat next month too. GCSEs: 9999988887. Predicted A Levels: A*A*A*. I’m just wondering, what score should I aim for Bristol as I know they place 20% of the weight on GCSEs, 40% on A Level predicteds and 40% on LNAT. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
