Hey!
I think I was in your group! (red) How did you find it? I think some of the stations were really off-putting and strange (I have a specific one in mind)


I was in your group too. Hahaha!

What is you don't do well for your gcses but do well for a-levels?


Of course, if your A-level results are good, then this will improve your application for sure - you'll need a minimum of AAA for most medical schools. However, it's important to keep in mind that sometimes to select who gets an interview, GCSEs (as well as the UKCAT, which is a significant factor) are taken into account initially.
Check out this link for the GCSE requirements for maths, english and science for medical schools:

Keep in mind that this was correct as of 2013, you may need to check the uni webistes to verify. Hope this is useful!
I heard the Birmingham MMIs were manic ... my King's one isn't until mid-Feb but Notts is the start of Jan... not sure how I feel about MMI

But I'm feeling pretty nervoussss
Hi guys. I got an interview at King's today (yay) but I've seen they want certificates for my GCSEs. I haven't told UCAS I took business studies GCSE so when I upload my certificate, will it start ringing alarm bells? :/

When assessing your application, do King's read your personal statement?

Don't worry too much about the interview. I managed to get an interview (the last one) last yearand had an offer the following day. Also my ukcat wasn't that great but still got an offer
Anyone think King's might give us earlier decisions compared to last year since they started interviewing earlier?

Don't know but they definitely started interviewing in January. This year some ppl had interviews in December.
It would be great to hear back earlier than March :smile:
