Have people put their current work on the pre-interview form? If so, have they put it in work exp or extra curricular?

just got home 5 minutes ago...sleepy train journey to reflect.

I have no idea how well it went. I think it went okay, but the poker faces are unbearable. Let's wait and see. How does notification come through? MyApplication?

On another unrelated note, I saw Irish Jim from The Apprentice on the train on the way there :biggrin: ... I said hello. He said 'How are you?' Brilliant banter :tongue:


Whoa! I was routing for Jim! Anyway, you never really know how well you've done in an interview. It's pretty much impossible to assess yourself. I'm sure you did well though, just sit back and relax now I guess! And yep, it comes through the MyApplication apparently... Well that's what happened with my Biochemistry one anyway...

One question... No on-the-spot nucleophilic substitution right? :colondollar:

Thought i'd put where i'm at:

Just went to the interview today, and felt it went fine... But as someone said earlier - dreaded pokerfaces! :smile: No idea really...

I've also applied to Leicester, BSMS and Southampton, and haven't heard from any of them yet. UKCAT of around 650. I'm applying as a mature arts / social science student, having just done an MSc Anthropology. So i'm an odd application!

The lady at the reception desk said that we'd hear within two weeks, likely one.

Perhaps someone can answer this: I know we hear on myApplication, but do we get e-mail notifications? I only got a "reminder" message about the interview because I hadn't checked the KCL system in a while... Or do I need to paranoidly keep checking the website? :colondollar:

Good luck to everyone! :redface:

I got an email saying that my application status had changed a few hours after it updated on the portal :smile:

Heard on the 9th day, some heard sooner, some later. It doesn't affect IN ANY WAY whether you get offer or not.

And yes, you must have had the pokerface interviewers....its really offputting, me and my friend had them, but got offers still so they couldn't have been that grumpy about what we had said :biggrin: You just have to act normal and maintain eye contact and smile and sound enthusiastic etc..... Try not to look into it, as you say, it's quite clearly a poker face, there is no way someone can be that bored :P

KCL track will update first, 20ish mins later you get the email, then UCAS updates a few hours/days/weeks later.

Don't worry, you will hear soon, length of time doesn't effect whether you get an offer or not!

Both of you, avoid KCL track syndrome, it's very detrimental to your life in general!!!!

Best of luck :wink:

Hey,
I had my interview on Monday this week, so if you found out around 9 days later do you think I can pretty much expect to hear by the end of next week? This is killing me! What day of the week did you find out and around what time? I know it's so trivial but these things help me..
Also whats your academic profile if you don't mind me asking?
And did you think your interview went well?
LOL had a mini heart attack just now when I checked my email and saw one about King's and Interviews. I opened it and the first thing I saw was "The deadline for you to respond will pass shortly" and nearly fainted because I thought I had passed the deadline...

Then I read "We recently contacted you with an update regarding your application to the Medicine MBBS at King’s College London which required a response." and was like, WHAT?! I DIDN'T GET ANY EMAILS!

Then freaked out for another 10 minutes then realizing that my interview invitation was sitting nicely on the portal and I have to respond in 5 days. Anyways- yay interview!!!! :smile:

(PS do they expect us to check the portal every single day because I definitely didn't get any email notification!!!)

I got my offer 12 days after my interview - don't worry about it if you don't hear that quickly!
It seem's like they are interviewing sooo many people.. this can't be good!
What day/time of the week did you get your offer joker12345?
