I got 5 a*s and 5 As in my GCSEs, i have about 4 weeks of work experience, plus a lot of extra curricular. If I perform well in the UKCAT and get 4 As will i still have a chance of getting into Kings, as my gcse grades are not that strong.


With a +750 UKCAT you have a good chance, however any lower may be risky...the sliding UKCAT/GCSE scale is hard to judge!

I got 7A*s 4As and 765 ukcat, and had an interview in December, so like above, if you have a high ukcat you should have a pretty good chance :smile:

I think they put more weight on the ukcat - I have 11A*s but only 725 for my UKCAT, and had an interview last Thursday, which is pretty late, so I think they look at high UKCATs more than GCSEs

I swear I'll gain loads of weight if I go for catered. I'd rather suffer a little and learn how to cook :smile:

If what someone said is true, and their last interview is 27th March, we could be waiting until April for offers :'(
