Official King's College London 2023 Applicants Thread

Hi, does anyone know how important it is when you submit your UCAS application, if it's before the equal consideration deadline (31st Jan)?
Do KCL go through the applications in order of when they received them, and give offers first come first served, or do they look at all of them, and then decide who to give offers to after viewing them all?

And how important is it in terms of looking keen, if it's submitted earlier e.g. in September/October? I haven't been able to submit mine earlier, because I needed a reference from an old teacher, who has been away from school for some months.

Thanks.

Applications are not assessed on a first-come first serve basis. However, it is important that you submit it before the equal consideration deadline to ensure that you have the best possible chance of an offer. Universities generally make decisions on applications randomly, and they know how many to make offers to through years of practice.
