lse law 2026

hello, i just wanted to know my chances of getting into lse law LLB for 2026.
i got 9999999998 at GCSE, A*A*A* predictions + A achieved in EPQ
strong PS with lots of super curriculars
but i just got my LNAT back and i got 19 (through jindal method) ..
sooo do i still stand a chance with LSE? i already withdrew my UCL application since i know they weigh LNAT so much but i heard last year that LSE let some people in with lowest ive seen as 18.
do i stand like even a 0.5% chance?

what’s the jindal method? also, i wouldn’t stress, they look at applications holistically and yours seems perfect. the process is so unpredictable so don’t doubt yourself, anything can happen!

Not super knowledgeable on score gaps between the LNAT but I do know top universities such as LSE typically accept students with scores that are 25+.
As the poster above said though, anything can happen and no one knows for sure. Apply if you don't have other aspirational choices, but I'm sure you're aware that your chances are lower.

people choose ‘jindal’ when ticking the options for which unis you want to send your LNAT score to bc that uni sends you your score soon after you do your test

very unlikely tbf, LSE is the highest weighted on LNAt out of almost all the unis, so its highly unlikely. Can i aks what other unis u applied for? Of they are all lnat and high russel groups? Your grades are outstanding, but LNAt is the greatest indicator of pressure handling and ability to stay calm under pressure. Your grades are great but its highly unlikely lse will offer you as 19 is well beloww average

Mid March to end of April but in recent years a few offers were made in early May.

This isn't true. From all UK universities LSE probably looks at the LNAT score the least. In fact, an admissions officer who visited my school stated that they only consider it as a secondary factor when they wish to distinguish between two equally competitive candidates. LSE gives you the highest chance of acceptance with a low LNAT score, as long as the rest of your profile is exceptional. Over the last years, I've seen people get in with 23, 22 or less in terms of LNAT, but IB predictions of 43 - 45.

Why would you withdraw from UCL, if anything they are more likely to give you an offer if your essay is great.

It could be because they are contextual applicants.

I think with those applications, unis weigh more the PS and the grades.
