What it covers
The 2,017 Oxford Law applicants in the 2024-25 admissions round (for 2025 entry) who sat the LNAT, as shown in the university-wide chart of multiple-choice scores by outcome in Oxford's Law admissions feedback. Scores below 10 and 37 or above are grouped on the chart.

Method
- Oxford prints the chart but not the numbers. We counted each bar from the chart's vector drawing, calibrated to its gridlines and rounded to whole candidates. The largest rounding left over was 0.11 of a candidate. No reported total or average was used to force the counts.
- Check: the counts give averages of 24.4 to 24.5 for all sitters, 29.1 to 29.3 for shortlisted and 30.9 to 31.2 for offers, matching the report's own 24.5, 29.2 and 31.0 without being tuned to them.
- Your score's band rate is offers (or interviews) divided by everyone in that band. 27 to 29: 47 offers from 359 applicants, 13%.
- The 95% interval is a Wilson interval: the range of rates a group this size could show by chance alone. 47 of 359 gives 10% to 17%.
- The dashed curve is a one-variable logistic fit, shown only for scores 10 to 36. Fitted without scores 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 (378 applicants), it predicted those held-out offers with log loss 0.298 against 0.392 for a flat rate, and interviews with 0.467 against 0.649.
Uncertainty and limits
- Reading the chart could be out by a candidate or so per bar; moving every counted bar by one changes the 27 to 29 offer rate by about a percentage point either way.
- Other versions of this round print different totals (2,080 applications in the headline, 2,061 in the faculty report). We keep the chart's 2,017 test sitters as its own population.
- This is one round. Oxford changed its first ranking for 2025-26 to 80% contextualised GCSEs, 10% multiple choice and 10% essay, so later rounds can differ. The 2025-26 overall rates were 29.8% interviewed and 11.9% offered.
- Score alone: GCSEs, the essay, school context and interviews are not in these counts.

What the answer means
The answer is what happened to people with your score in one past Oxford round. It is not your personal chance. Two applicants with the same LNAT score had very different outcomes because of everything else in their applications.

Questions people ask
What LNAT score gets an interview at Oxford Law?
There is no cut-off. In 2024-25 shortlisted applicants averaged 29.2, and a few who scored under 15 were interviewed. At 30 to 32, 175 of 268 test sitters (65%) were shortlisted.
Can you get into Oxford Law with a low LNAT score?
Rarely, but it happens: in 2024-25, 10 of the 865 test sitters who scored 23 or below got offers. The rest of the application carries a lot of weight, especially contextualised GCSEs.
How does Oxford use the LNAT for Law?
For the 2025-26 round Oxford's first ranking used 80% contextualised GCSEs, 10% LNAT multiple choice and 10% LNAT essay, then tutors adjusted individually. Without a contextualised GCSE score, the two LNAT parts counted equally.
