I would say that you have a good chance, providing that you have a good UKCAT score. I think King's has become a lot more competitive this year, as I've heard (only rumours on TSR though!) that a competitive UKCAT would be 695 this year. I know a few people at school who have similar GCSEs (one had 9A*s and one had 7A*s), however both had a UKCAT of 660/675 respectively and both have been rejected without an interview. However I'd say if you get a UKCAT score of around 700, then you'd have a good chance of getting an interview :smile:

Good luck, and you can drop me a PM if you have any questions :smile:

Okay, though competitive doesn't imply that there's a cut off. Like I said, great GCSEs can compensate for a poorer UKCAT. A friend of mine got 12A*s at GCSE and 655 in his UKCAT, and was given an early interview (sometime in November?).
