Is the KCL LNAT cut off that serious?

I have received my LNAT score and I was fortunate enough to get 29. As a home student, I was not previously thinking of applying to KCL as I was unsure of my how I preformed on the LNAT (I found my exam insanely difficult), but after getting my score I am reconsidering. However, I am conscious that they apparently have a cut off 30, so I am wondering if it's worth applying at all. I am predicted A*A*A* and most of my GCSEs are 9s-8s. I know I am only one mark off the cut off, but I do not know if that will be a deal breaker for KCL admissions. Could anyone please give me any insight on whether I should apply or not?

I did a quick Internet search and I haven't been able to find any reliable source for this LNAT cut-off other than reddit gossip, which is obviously extremely unreliable.

29 sounds like a reasonable LNAT score, and your other stats seem alright, so you probably do stand a reasonable chance to get into King's. Whether if you do get in is another matter that no one can predict for sure, but I would shoot your shot if I were you :smile:

How did you already get your LNAT score? I though we couldn't get them until mid February.

Hi ! I thought the same. You won't receive your LNAT score from the LNAT Consortium until mid Feb. However, I ticked to submit my score to OP Jindal University in the 'Additional Information' section and they sent me my score around a week later. Many other people have done it and also received their score. Some people say you may need to pay but you don't - just tick the box and save your changes and they should send it to you.

yes, I’ve seen many current home students for this year say no one in their cohort got below 30.
I’m not acc student so idk, I also applied there before I knew I got below 30 so I know I have no hope there really
But u got a rlly good score of 29 so u have a shot at many others
