King's College Medicine applicants 2014 entry

I don't want to scare people, but I think most of us interviewed in Jan will hear about an offer/rejection within 7-10 days. That's my prediction anyway. Going by last year's stalking thread (yes I'm panicky enough to look at it :colondollar: ), people in January received decisions very quickly. This has been backed up by a couple of Jan interviewees hearing already this year.

Just a feeling though.


People from January have already heard?! I'm still waiting from the 19th December. Not that I'm guaranteed an offer or anything, but I swear people from early December still getting offers through. It seems odd that they're not doing it chronologically.
Mind you, apparently there were an extra 1000 applicants this year, so maybe last year isn't a good indicator of how quick we'll hear back? I hope :s-smilie:

What time!? I was interviewed that day too and was thinking I'd be waiting at least 10 days for a response! Mine went pretty badly so I'm not exactly looking forward to hearing :frown:

Thank you! I honestly came out and thought it went absolutely AWFUL. I said absolutely nothing that I planned to and was not expecting this in the slightest! If you think it's gone badly, really don't worry about it :smile:

I had the elderly woman GP and an Asian man (I THINK he was a Registrar?) They really didn't give anything away so I got nothing back from them regarding how I did! :smile:


Ah that's not the same interviewers as me then!

Same as me!!! they didn't mention their jobs, was it just me or did you think the older guy was quite confrontational + kept asking difficult questions?

Yes! I thought his questions were much more difficult to answer but I still think it was me to blame for the bad interview really... I just know I could have answered the questions much better and I really let myself down :frown:

There's nothing you can do now so don't beat yourself up about it! I feel exactly the same, especially over the last 5 min.
