Averages are not cutoffs

The labels compare one score with a past published average. They do not estimate your offer probability. Grades, context, the rest of your application and, at most universities, the essay still matter.

Safety means only that this Section A score sits well above the listed comparison point. No LNAT university is safe on one number.

What this comparison does

It places your score out of 4242 against each published comparison point. Reach is more than 22 points below; Competitive runs from 22 below to under 33 above; Safety begins 33 points above.

Those bands are our planning rules, not university rules. They make the table consistent without pretending an average is a threshold.

Read the evidence carefully

Oxford and UCL publish direct admissions evidence. Some other figures come from released offer-holder data summarised by admissions researchers. The year stays beside every number because the applicant pool changes.
