King's College London Postgraduate Applications 2012/13

Have applied for a PhD in theoretical physics & cosmology at King's on October 14th. The two reference letters arrived on October 24th.

King's asked me to send more documents on November 8th and my application has been passed on to the admissions panel on November 15th.

To your opinion, when can I expect a response from them ? Lots of scholarship application deadlines are on February 1st...

I also suggest you to email them. When I did my applications to do masters degree, I also first applied to King's. But, I waited too long. Maybe, 2 months before I asked about the status of my application. Only then, they replied that my application was unsuccessful.
I also asked some other students at Kings and they said that Kings is too slow. They want to get all applications and only then select the best among them.
Whereas, other unis make decisions on First come first in basis.

This depends on the department.

I got my offer within 5 weeks, even though the department site said that they usually wait for all applications to come in.

But as you say, worth giving them a ring or just an email!

Hey just a quick q, i applied about 2 weeks ago for their MSc International Management programme. However my status is still 'received and being processed'. Is it supposed to be like this or does it supposed to be something like 'application under consideration'....Just wondering whether i should give them a call or not. Thanks.

I applied for that programme. I got an offer within 5 weeks.

I think it just stays on 'received and being processed'.

Hi everyone! I got an offer last week for the MA in Public Policy program.

Got an unconditional from kcl on the 16th

Hi everyone! I got an offer last week for the MA in Public Policy program. Anyone else apply to the same one? I only waited a week for a decision after sending in my application...super impressed by King's.

Good luck to everyone still awaiting a decision!

Hey all!

Received an offer for the MA in Medieval Studies. Also received offers from UCL, Durham and Leicester and waiting to hear back from a few other places but it's very exciting nonetheless!

Hey I've also applied

It really only took a week?

Yep, it was about a week! I turned in my application on 4 Jan, but my references weren't uploaded until the 6th. I got my offer on the 11th.

I just noticed that you live in DC...so do I! I go to AU. Good luck with your app! Hopefully you'll hear back soon.

So what's everyone doing for accomodation? I'll be at the Waterloo campus and was looking into the Rectory and Wolfson House. I want to stay with postgrads mainly. Any thoughts? Are they nice places to stay? Anyone got photos?! That would be awesome

That's incredibly fast! You must have had a solid profile.

I actually go to GW but American was in my final three back when picking my undergrad options.

King's is a great school, I did study abroad there a few years ago. Have you applied anywhere else?
