So does that mean people have an interview at the end of November too?
Posted from TSR Mobile
By talking about November she probably referred to graduate applicants.

I don't think so. Graduate interviews run over a two day period in early jan....
Does anyone know if they have allocated dates for international/non-EU interviews?

On kings site, it says interviews for overseas (non EU I'm assuming) would be late jan to early feb. This agrees with what the admissions lady replied in her email to me.

I really hope not. The thought of now waiting for the New Year is awful.
Does kings have a ukcat cut off?

There isn't a set cut off per se. They use a sliding scale. Where UKCAT scores and academic achievements are grouped and scored
That is not to say there is no cut off, but you need a decent UKCAT score with good grades to have a strong chance of an interview invitation
Last year, as stated on their website, this general score was 695

)UKCAT scores
Your UKCAT scores will be considered in our selection for interview. They will not be the sole indicator for selection. They will be balanced against achievement in other areas, in particular your academic performance to date. All indicators will be considered together in deciding who will be selected for interview. It is therefore important to understand that there is no universal 'cut off' score for the UKCAT when applying for 2014 entry. For example, if an applicant has an excellent academic background then the test scores will play a less significant part in selection. For those with weaker academic backgrounds (relative to our overall applicant pool), the scores will become more important. An applicant who may not normally be considered on academic grounds could be invited to interview on the strength of strong UKCAT scores that may indicate potential. Also, if applicants are very similar in all other ways, the score may be the determining factor in selection for interview. As a guide for applicants, for 2012/3 entry, most applicants invited for interview had scored at least 695.
Hope that helps

I personally reckon they should be okay
I know the average has gone up this year so you can never be sure, but I guess it depends on their GCSEs etc since they use the sliding scale. Fingers crossed!! Original post by nana96
Just logged on. There wasn't anything on the portal yesterday.
