"The School will invite all successful candidates for interview
between November and April. Successful
international applicants will be offered interviews
in either late January or early February. The
School aims to notify all applicants of its final
decisions by early May each year."
^Sorry about the scrambled text, I just copy and pasted that from the admissions guide (2014).
I am international which probably means I should stop with this obsessive email checking until after Christmas!!

Guessing we'll be waiting around until at least 15th November-18th November then, if they're giving just two weeks of notice? Although the waiting game is horrible, at least we've got a significant amount of time to prepare.
I have become addicted to checking my emails and the stalking thread every day 
I just want kings to start giving interviews already so I feel like something is actually happening :L does anyone know if kings interview their most promising candidates towards the start of the cycle or is it evenly spread out? :?

Hmm I've heard they interview gap year and GEP students first bcoz they have achieved results, not just predicteds so they can be judged on more than just their GCSE and UKCAT scores...

I thought my score was pretty high, but looking at the published deciles my score (2830) doesn't even make the top 25% that king's is said to select interviewees from 
Anyone know if strong IB predictions could possibly make up for this.. (i'm predicted a 40)?

I do not really know. I am also doing the IB and was wondering of this. However, 40 is not a high prediction. I mean i have 45.

Well 2820 is the 8th decile so you are in the top 20% I think

Well congratu-effing-lations to you.
The average global score is about 30.
Get yourself and your overinflated ego in check.
Oh and please do PM if you actually achieve a 45 in IB.
I'll throw you a smashing party, complete with gold stars and everything.

40 is a very good score. I don't know the statistics but when I sat the IB (quite a while ago), >40 roughly equals to top 5%. Not everyone gets predicted 45 and few who gets predicted 45 actually end up achieving the perfect score.
How are your GCSEs? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm under the impression that King's base pre-interview ranking on GCSEs and UKCAT only? (School leavers)

I didn't take GCSE's.. I'm in an American curriculum. I'm an international student, living in the UK for some 4.5 years now :P
I applied with SAT's (I and II <-- bio, chem, math level 2), IB predicted scores, and my transcript (though I don't think they actually look at this..). oh and UKCAT

Do you have any evidence at all for this or are you just plucking statements out of thin air?

Ooo I see! I reckon they'll operate a different cut - off system for international students just because applicants come from different parts of the world, armed with different qualifications. Maybe they'll just consider your application as a whole which would seem the most fair way to do things. But re: IB, 40 is definitely very good.

My cousin got in last year who talked to the admissions officer and can tell you the same. Thought i wouldn't have to write all that, but you want evidence
And besides, it makes sense that they would interview the higher scoring candidates first. Posted from TSR Mobile

Guys sorry if I sounded a bit arrogant. I did not say it's a bad score. It is actually a very good one. However, neither getting 2A*and 9As at GCses is a bad score. I want to say that a 40 in the Ib for a medical applicant will not differentiate him from most of the other applicants in such a comptitive course.
