Yes very safe to interview. Last year's cut off was 129.

My daughter actually had that 136 score 2 years ago. She similarly said VR and how some other ucat scores fell relative to crude bands didn't help her score, and so had similar concern. However ultimately it doesn't matter how the score is made up if well into 130s. It's difficult to have v strong gcses, band 1 and strong ucat, so hence why would view as definite safe to interview. (DD did apply there in end with interview/offer.)

Hi there. I was just wondering about last year's cutoff being 129. It says on Nottingham's website that they don't operate a cutoff score? I'm concerned now as mine is only 115

it probably says they don't operate a ucat cutoff, which is true, as they use multiple factors to score an application. the 129 was from anecdotal evidence here on tsr.

The UCAT score is calculated by multiplying their UCAT score percentile rank (compared to other KCL applicants in that cycle) by 100

now that final UCAT stats are out, trying to work out my UCAT score - I know Kings decile bands will be higher but the question is how much higher?

Welcome to the King's College London A100 2024 Entry Discussion.

2023 thread: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7214351

For general information click: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/study/undergra.../medicine-mbbs

For entry requirements click: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/study/undergra...y-requirements

Selection process: Generally, UCAT score accounted for 50% of the ranking, GCSE Individual and School performance, 40% and other widening participation factors, 10%. The UCAT score is calculated by multiplying their UCAT score percentile rank (compared to other KCL applicants in that cycle) by 100 with points added according to the SJT Band: 10 points for Band 1, 5 for Band 2, and 0 for Bands 3 and 4. For GCSEs, points were awarded according to the number of A*s achieved at GCSE (subject is not considered). Less than 5 scored 0, 5 scored 10, 6 scored 20, 7 scored 30, 8+ scored 40. Scores were adjusted according to the GCSE attainment quintile of the school. If the school performance sat within one of the lowest two quintiles, then we also counted A grades achieved at GCSE towards the A* count mentioned above. For schools in the 3rd quintile, each A grade is considered equivalent to 0.5 of an A*. For schools in the top two quintiles, no adjustment is made. Note that this scoring system is reviewed each cycle and may not remain the same.

General TSR rules:
(1) Please don't ask for, advertise or mention group chats.
(2) Please don't ask for or post interview questions.
(3) Please don't offer to buy and sell items.

Good luck!

Hi, I applied to KCL this year and was hoping to ask if I have a chance.

Predicted: A*A*A
GCSEs: 11 x A*'s (including English Lang, Maths and Sciences)
UCAT: 2790 B2

I don't quality for any contextual factors (other than being from a state school, low household income and eligible for 16-19 bursary but I don't think that counts). I am predicting 3 interviews for my other choices so not too worried about KCL but would appreciate any replies :smile:

Hi
I am currently a medical student (1st year) but last year, I was in the same position as all of you guys!

I ended up getting an interview, then offer (which I turned down) for KCL.

I know how difficult it can be to prepare, ESPECIALLY if you don't have experienced individuals around you such as siblings/cousins/relatives/friends that were successful applicants. Point being, I would love to provide help for those that really need it i.e. contextual applicants. I enjoy helping anyway, and absolutely loved the interview parts of my application process. Please PM me, and ask me anything you want
