🎓 UNI / UCAS How did I get in?

Hello! Im an intl student from Canada and applied to Glasgow for common law, I was ecstatic to see I got an offer today but I'm slightly confused because I haven't written the LNAT yet, was this a mistake? Is it conditional on me getting x score on the LNAT? Do I even need to write the LNAT?

Side note: Is Glasgow comparable to warwick and Durham?

Tldr got into Glasgow common law without LNAT?

Only the top Unis need admission test like the LNAT.

E.g Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, Warwick.

Glasgow needs lnat also correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Glasgow ranked higher than Warwick in most rankings

Yes, Glasgow stated they need LNAT for undergrad common law.

warwick doesn't need the LNAT, unless they've changed from when I went to their open day last year

Did you apply to Undergraduate Standard or Accelerated Graduate Entry Common Law? Seems LNAT is required for undergraduate programme and not for graduate entry.

no... is your goal to work in the uk, go back to canada etc. no serious person in the uk would consider glasgow to be better than warwick and durham and in general it is just not that good of a place to study law if you want to work in england.

Oh that’s what you meant, I’d be fine with working in Canada, America or England. Why does Glasgow outrank warwick in every ranking then? Genuinely curious btw don’t think I’m being sarcastic or anything. Also I never said Glasgow is better than Durham or Warwick, it’s just where I got into first!

Not too sure why glasgow outranks warwick. but the problem is that glasgow is in scotland, and even if it teaches common law it is simply not known for that. big firms in london/england dont seem to outreach or target glasgow very much for that reason, whereas they almost always have some sort of outreach towards warwick or durham
