King's College London Medicine Applicants 2012

Ah, good luck for ur other choices. My cuz goes to UCL med and loves it there. Its amazing, personally, i like KCL better. have fun. :tongue:

That's the thing, both are pretty much the same but subconsciously for some reason I think UCL is 'better' simply because I had to go through the pain of the BMAT for it! Anyway, I'm not in a position to be complaining; I feel very happy and privileged to have got an offer here. Hope your interview goes alright! DON'T rush the pre-interview questionnaire!

They're not but I imagine them being useful to the admissions panel; you're asked to bring it in with you in the interview, presumably for them to look at it when you leave. Might play very little significance but I wouldn't risk it.

Oh yeah, I know what u mean. BMAT was a hellish experience, even worse than UKCAT. Thank you, is there a set amount of time to complete the questionnaire or do u get as long as u want?

Mine weren't of any brand! Be comfortable in what you wear but you need to take a good impression too! I wore pinstriped trousers, a flowery blouse and a blazer :smile:

but I was comfortable :biggrin:

Other girls there were wearing dresses or a pencil skirt and blouse or trousers and a blouse (like moi!). Hope this helps a little :biggrin:

My King's interview is on the 9th of January, a few days after I hear from Cambridge. Whatever their decision, I'll have a peculiar mood ;p

Well keep checking! They seem to be updating them at strange times :smile:

Good luck - I hope it's an offer as well! :biggrin:

Edit:

That's what I watched (it came up on my Facebook newsfeed, I didn't actively seek it out! :ninja:

Yup...1st rejection. I'm waiting on UCL now (which I thought went much better)...still a punch in the balls though.

Good luck everyone. I won't see you around

Anyone know if rejections will come quite quickly compared to offers, or will it take just as long?

Had my interview today and I think I know what to expect...
