King's College London GEM (A102) Applicants 2015

Original post by marmaladeskies69

Procrastinating loads by logging onto myapplication for Kings and clicked on "more about the application process". in that section there is a sentence which says: "Please note that assessment can only begin when we have received a complete application including both references. "

?????????????????? I thought it was just one reference on UCAS?????????? Did everyone else get a memo where they had to submit 2 references??? :frown:

I definitely don't have that anywhere in my portal and I haven't heard of kings requiring 2 references anywhere!!! I would suggest calling them up- it's probably a mistake but worth checking?

OK thank god, nearly had a heart attack that I'd wasted one of my choices.

On the grad med application page, there's a big box about "Application Status", then at the bottom right of that box is a button: "More information on the admissions process". It's on that page. I now see it might be a more general page about graduate courses and not grad med. Phew.

It seems King's are reviewing applications for grad entry. I spoke to a friend of mine yesterday and she told me she was unsuccessful. I guess they do look at your personal statement as she got a UKCAT of 780...
So perhaps we can expect to hear any day now
