They did last year because they had some places left. But they give more offers than places so if there aren't any places then probably not.

Hey guys, I have just recieved an interview from kings but there is no mention of the time on the message and also where I need to be and further information regarding the interview. Should I have recieved a pdf file with the message?

Yes you should have details in PDF format with the email.

From your portal go into my messages and send them a message, choose 'application status' from the drop down menu, they normally respond quite quickly.

Congratulations! Can I ask, were you asked to upload your exam certificates to the portal before you received your offer, and if so how long before you got the offer did you upload them? Thanks

I was actually asked to upload my certificates when I got my interview invite, so I uploaded them before my interview!

Thanks.

I hope we BOTH end up with offers.
The way they do it is just wrong, they should just hand them all out at the end and do away with all this excruciating waiting. :frown:

So what's the deal with offers at the moment then?! The top cut of interviewees are given them straight away, the bottom cut get straight rejections, then the rest of us wait until March?

Pretty much, but as each top cut of interviewees are handed out offers, the scores of those below them in the list will be added to the scores of the next batch of interviewees, so they may happen to move into the "offers bracket" of scores. It explains why some people hear back <10 days after interview, why some hear at a few weeks after, why some hear after months, and why many people wait until March.

This, as explained in my post on page 186 of the thread.

As we move towards march (which corresponds to the end of the interview cycle) i recognize that there will be a few more rejections coming tho...as there will be less places left i dont think they will hold those at the "bottom" to wait if they are below the lowest possible cutoff at the moment.

I.e: 200 offers left and 200 interviewees on hold, as other interviews take place those at the bottom will most likely fall out of the intake...unless we have very similar interview scores in which case ukcat is determinant
