Applying to King's but not one of UCAS choices?

Hello, I am firming SOAS for IR, but planning to go through Adjustment in August.

You can make SOAS your firm and, only if you exceed the condition of your offer, register for Adjustment after results day in August. Than you can call universities asking them if they have vacancies. If you do so, you won't lose your original offer. If you eventually get an offer, you will have to ask you original firm and insurance choice to release you. Regarding student finance, you have to apply before August, but you can call them and adjust your details if you get accepted. The most difficult thing is accommodation, but if you are planning on doing just King's it will not be a problem.

Of curse, if Adjustment doesn't go well, you can always give up on your original offer and reapply next year, you aren't bound to SOAS.

Why don't you want to go there, btw?

Hope it'll be useful

SOAS has slipped again the league tables for 2016, falling almost 10 places. The overall reputation, credibility and academia of the university has been declining for the past decade and I can pretty much see myself regretting the decision three years from now. I've also experienced the notoriously poor administration as an applicant so I can't imagine what it's like being a student!

I applied for Social Anthropology but I'm thinking about applying for International Relations for Adjustment! I contacted King's the other day and was told that it was oversubscribed and popular, so it'll be unlikely to get a place. I may also apply for Queen Mary.

Hello again Jakepro94!
I was wondering if you managed eventually

Hey, thanks for asking! I actually didn't meet my predicted grades (unfortunately) but was still accepted into SOAS. I attempted to get a place at Queen Mary and KCL through Adjustment but, obviously, there were other applicants with much better grades and I was rejected. I actually had a dilemma between City and SOAS but eventually opted for SOAS. Considering my grades, I'm grateful for the opportunity and will try to make the most out of my experience, despite the negative perceptions of the institution.

How about you?
