Do King's have an offer-holders open day? Or do they give a tour on the interview day?


They have a post-offer open day on the 19th March :smile:
Is the essay/questionnaire only for A100 interviews?

not too sure, its dated today and I randomly checked the portal at about 5:30? to be honest, I didn't think it went good! most definitely wasn't expecting to hear back so soon. I was really nervous and don't think I answered some of the questions as well as I could, just tried to smile through it haha

good luck with your application!

oh and thanks :biggrin:

Hey, I've applied for Medicine for 2014 entry however, having not heard from any of my medical applications yet I'm considering my options for next year. I just want to know if you have any knowledge on what the circumstances are for me if I were to reapply next year after taking a gap year and working in a hospital / whatever if I get three As in August for my A2s? Is that a good idea or should I take my plan B which is a offer from UCL for pharmacy? Medicine is really what I want to do but dont want to chuck away a good place like UCL.

If you have any experience of this situation or know anyone who has please let me know. I really like to find out what chance I have if I do get 3 As in August and reapply next year. I got 3A*s, 8As and 2 Bs for GCSE.

Defer ucl for a year ... If u dont hear anything ... Sit ukcat -> smash it like get 100 % = medicine interviews = medicine ( easy peasy ) if ukcat not good u have pharmacy to go back to ... Honestly if u want medicine get everything rite at a levels ... GRADUATE ENTRY = mind Fu** ... Honestly unles u bloom and get in the top 6-8% of ukcat scores ... I would advice anyone who wants to do medicine and has done worke experience ... Can get the grades ... Forget everything else ... Get ur grades and work on these admissions test ... U can try as a graduate but it will be ridiculously competitve as places are reduced every year ... St georges is reducing grad med from 100 to 50 ... U get the point

Seriously why self doubt ... U will not be successful if u self doubt ... Everyone has doubts ... Its all about working out how to get round issues which give slef doubt ... Get a grip MAN ( Lol me saying this in a funny way lolz )

REMEBER BY GAPPING ALL U LOOSE IS A YEAR COMPARED TO WHAT U CAN REALISTICALLY GAIN .... IF U GET UR ALEVELS ...
Do a risk / benefit chart ( this is helpful always in life ) and decide .....
I envy u ... I wish in could say what u just said !

ON A BIT OF A HARSH NOTE WHICH U WILL BE SUBJECTED TO BY SOMEONE SO ITS BETTER I DO IT LOL ... If ur confused about med dont do it ....
I would always say get more experience and then decide ... Dont be turned off by not being sure ... We are all uncertain and sometimes make decisions ... No one had a mystic ball to say u will make a bad or a great doctor ....
Ok so bear it in mind to remember if someone says to u dont do med if ur not sure ( treat that with a pinch of salt and also use that to reflect honestly ... How do u think its likely )
... Enough said

Can I defer? That would be great if I could. So you're advice is to get 3 As at A2, defer my pharmacy offer whilst taking a gap year. Then Smash the UKCat and reapply?

Thank you so much! Lots of great advice. Sorry at first I didn't see you're full reply just the first paragraph. Im sure I want to do medicine I just dont want to end up in 2015 with no place anywhere but now you said about deferring I'll do some research into it i.e call UCL up.

Have you reapplied this year? If you have where did u apply and hows it gone?
