It is a very long story so I will try and make it short . Kings is part of University of London which hosted the open day in central London. As you might already know, the Strand/Guys and Waterloo campuses from Kings are in South East London so people on the open day were only shown Uni of London ones that were close. I got to see UCL and LSOP in detail but not Kings.

LSOP is a very small uni with a single building but very modern facilities inside such as PC's and the library. During the open day, a lecturer made us prepare cough medicine and his teaching style was amazing, I learned more in that 30 minutes than what I do in college for 2 hours. The Uni is also has a higher ratio of females and everyone knows each other well because there aren't that many students compared to other major universities. LSOP is also merging with UCL in January, what I saw in UCL is another whole long story lol, but it was wonderful.

My first choice is between LSOP and Manchester but Kings is also good.

If you have any more questions, you can send me a message me.

I kinda guessed as such (: I'm not surprised about the ratio, since it seems like more females than males prefer to read Pharmacy. My first choice is definitely LSoP. Largely because of the school, but also because it's in LONDON.

I also love London. Anyway, we will see how it goes and hopefully we both get offers from LSOP and all the other choices.

Unconditional for Business Management? How is that even possible? IN OCTOBER?

What's the point in having a deadline if they look at applications now? I mean, if they look at applications now and reject those who they deem are not suitable for the course - That would be fine, but accepting applicants NOW - in OCTOBER .. sheesh.

I should have sent my application in September

Congratulations btw

Hey very new to tsr literally just signed up!

Anyway, sorry to annoy anyone with the 'do i have a chance' question, but i would love to apply to kings however really dont want to waste a choice if i actually dont have a chance!!

So hopefully applying for Geography 2012 probably BSc, but my AS grades have really let me down, Geog (A), Law (B), EngLan (C) i'm also doing an OCR National Certificate in ICT so far i have done 3 modules ; 2 distinctions and a merit.

I am considering resitting one law module but my predictions for A2 i think are around A, A, Dist.

My GCSE's were pretty good, 4 x A* 5 x A and 1 x B

I am also doing the extended project, so what do you guys think, is it worth applying?

(I have emailed kings regarding my ict and if it is accepted, waiting on a reply).

Thanks in advance.

I'd say you had a very decent chance, but check the criteria for the AS. Your GCSEs certainly are good enough.

This is my favourite Uni, definitely my 1st choice

Applying for International Politics, standard offer AAB, predicted A*AA

I think it depends on the course, I know for history they do, if you look at the specific course page on the website, it should say.

do you mean how it says that all applicants interviewed are made offers (are those the ones you are referring to?) - coz they seem pretty relaxed then if everyone interviewed gets an offer, like it must be more just checking you actually wanna go there right?

[AGM]

Medicine... 2nd time around! Also applying to Human Sciences there

[laurie:)]

applying here!

for medicine, its my first choice

[Maddog Jones]

Anybody know if they interview for International Politics? Can't find it on website, would have thought they did and hope they do!

Well done man, this has got me really excited because King's will almost definitely be my first choice if I get an offer and I don't get into Cambridge. I just wish my school would process my damn reference.

Hello I know this is specifically for year 13s, but I thought I'd join as I saw a fellow year 12 on this thread. I love the look of Kings I have two questions:
1) Is the set minimum grades AAAB at AS and AAA and A level?

2) For those who went to look around Kings what is it like? (I have a prospectus but still having a prospectus doesn't compare to looking around the uni)

Thanks *Sorry to intrude in this thread yet again, I just want to start preparing early*

Question 1 depends on the course you want to study. The best option is to search for courses on their website.
Question 2, I haven't been there yet so can't help in this case.

The Guy's campus - Medics, Vets and Science - is in an amazing location, just off the Thames. With nearby accommodation (which is amazing value considering it is in central London) and easy tube links. It's always busy and something going on and you'll never get bored in London. It has real city buzz, so if you want a quiet campus it isn't for you, but if you want the city feel, you won't find much better.

Hope this helps x

What are you applying to do?

What are you applying to do?

I am hoping to be a journalist (but I'm not studying journalism) so I need to browse the UCAS site when I have a spare hour or two. What are you hoping to study?

[Jackasaurus Rex]

Biochemistry. One of my friends wants to be a journalist and he's applying for Law. He wasn't sure what would get him into journalism and he was told you could go into almost anything with Law and it looks really good.
