Hey guys, I have an interview invitation for the 3rd but just realised that's the first day of my mock exam week, so I requested a change in interview date. I was wondering if anyone knew whether there are any days after the 7th of March that people have interviews on?

I'm going to wait to hear back from my other universities, but when I went to interview at Kings i liked it so much more than i thought i would! Few question marks over it though RE: living in london, some people say because its so big you feel isolated, plus people are saying about the low student satisfaction rates...
Kings is so prestigious though I'm overjoyed to have gotten an offer! Have you got one? Are you firming?
Hey guys, I think there are going to be quite a few offers in march (fingers crossed) and that offer holders Facebook group will be lost in the middle of this thread by then. So, seeing as I was second to post in here, I've edited my post and put the link for the group in, so it's easy to find :smile:

I know what you mean, it is a big decision. I live in London and love it to pieces, so I'm a bit biased, but personally I think it has the perfect balance between being a busy place with a million things to do - you could literally go out every day and discover a new amazing place. As for becoming isolated, I can't see that being much of a problem as a uni student, since you're always going to be part of the uni community and there's so much for you to get involved in within it. As for the student satisfaction, I found it really worrying too. But I have a few friends who go there and they're loving it, so I decided to just go for it ahah. Yep I've firmed :smile:
Who are you waiting on?
Today after 4.5 months of waiting and frantically checking my portal... the red updated sign decided to pop up after a hectic day! 20 th of February 7.43pm..... Application Unsuccessful ! :bricks:. However, Good Luck to all my fellow applicants who are waiting for an interview and those waiting for offers. Bye :flybye:

Exeter (interview done) and Aberdeen still to go... tbh kings is great, I was just speaking to my friend who does medicine at Oxford and she says kings is the uni of choice for those who don't get into the Oxford clinical years (over UCL) - she has friends who have gone there and love it more than Oxford! I grew up in London and I think it'll be perfect for me.. expensive but only if you let it be so ? Excited. so overjoyed to have an offer!

I've tried, but no luck :frown: Maybe the lines were busy because so many of us from December haven't heard anything yet and we're all trying to ring them!

I hope not, mine was AWFUL. I was so nervous, I couldn't write properly :s-smilie: I think qwerty_96 is right - it's probably to stop us all from ringing and emailing them because we've waited an awful lot longer than the two-three weeks we were promised.
