Cambridge Law Interview with Low LNAT?

I just have received my downing law interview email. I got low GCSEs within the context of my school (8877766665) where a lot of people get many 9/8s. My predictions are A*A*AA with a B at AS. I really rushed my ps as I wasn’t planning on applying to Cambridge originally. No teacher really checked my statement so I don’t think it’s that good. I sat my LNAT in October without even having done any full practice papers before hand and very little preparation as I was having a hard time concentrating on it at the time. I really don’t know whether my LNAT went well, the fact that I have no score from my practice ones to estimate is really worrying me. I recently got the info that I could tick the JGLS box on the lnat to get my score earlier which I did on the 3rd Nov. However I haven’t received a single email from them and have seen that everyone received their score or at least got an email saying they passed the cutoff of 20. I have double checked and made sure I entered the right email. My question is really, if downing law, which has many law applicants each year as it is known as the law college, has invited me for an interview, could this perhaps guarantee my LNAT wasn’t that low that it was below 20? And is there anyone else who hasn’t heard anything from Jindal?

Did urs happen to say that u “scored above our cutoff” or did it specify what score specifically you got?

Because mine says the former and it doesn’t even state what the cutoff score is, so honestly I have no idea how I’ve done.

i believe the cutoff is 20 marks out of 42 - if you got above 20 you should have received an offer for a 5 year course whereas if you scored below then a 3 + 3 programme (6 years)

I have checked numerous time for the past month but haven’t got anything. I made an account with JGLS but didn’t pay to apply, they only sent me an email to confirm I had made an account, but nothing regarding LNAT. Im just praying this interview invite means it’s just a glitch and that I didn’t bomb the lnat.

Can I ask when you received this email?
