LNAT Result and Durham Rejection

Hi guys just got my LNAT results and got 32/42!!! but let this be a reminder that the LNAT is not everything because I just got rejected from Durham a few days ago. So don't stress out too much on the mark you've just gotten because it does not make or break your application

I am predicted 3 A*s and got 32 on the LNAT but rejected from Durham!

Very true! I unfortunately somehow only got 17/42 on the LNAT, predicted AAA but got an offer from Durham around mid-January. Either my LNAT essay was incredibly good or the rest of my application was perfect.. or both! I'm very sorry to see you got rejected 🙃

im literally in the exact same boat. Last hope is kings i heard they review applications quite holistically though so if u have a really strong application i guess u still have a chance

I applied to kings too but have kind of given up hope due to the whole emphasis on mcqs over essays tbh. Nothing wrong with trying is what I’m telling myself haha😭😭 I’ve also only heard from Exeter so I’m praying for Durham

Hi there,

Congratulations on your LNAT result - that's amazing!

I'm sorry to hear about your rejection from Durham - I want to reinstate that it's not a reflection of your application, and you should still be super proud of your achievements. 😊 Durham Law is so competitive, with such a high volume of great applicants, so please don't take this personally - a lot of amazing candidates will be receiving rejections at this point,

Where else have you applied? 🙂

-Rosie (DU Representative)

Actually Durham is rejecting a lot of high LNAT candidates and accepting lower ones because there’s a greater likelihood strong LNAT candidates will accept offers from top London universities. Durham makes sure the students it gives offers to are likely to have them as their top choice.

Durham really like the easy as well so if great mcq and not good easy they will reject.Someone got 36/42 but was rejected for not having a great easy.

They like the easy not the Mcqs.People can guess to get correct answers but the easy us the real argument
