Physics but I've got maths at a B as a subsitute

As long as within the BBC you have bio and chem they don't care what the other subject is. So as long as the D isn't bio or chem you are fine.

They're not interested in your grades as long as you have BBC so doesn't matter if you have BBC or A*A*A*A* you're all considered the same. It was all about your PS as long as you met the requirements. Seems very early for a rejection unless you didn't meet a requirement somewhere.

Not everyone who meets the criteria gets interviewed
It depends on personal statement scores too!

They cannot comment on individual cases so there isn't a whole lot of point :no:

It must have been that your PS score wasn't high enough then.

It is disappointing but there are 500 people applying for 30 spots :sadnod:

.

If you do decide to phone, and this goes for everyone, please be nice to the admissions team :yes:

. They're very nice people doing a stressful and high pressure job and are not trying to upset you in what they say. Someone was laughing at what they had said to admissions to me the other day and it was not pleasant :no:

It could be that you're wait listed for an interview but it could also be that they haven't gotten round to sending out all the rejections yet :sadnod:

.

Until you hear either way there is no way of knowing :no:

They do not use UKCAT. Interviews are based ENTIRELY on personal statement if you meet the minimum. It was your PS :sadnod:

. Kings look for different things.

Since I didn't get an interview and it's based on my PS can people tell me what kind of topics they included in their PS so that I can improve mine for next year

It isn't "topics" as such. Look in the prospectus (it's on the website) and look at the non academic criteria. That's what they mark you on.

My PS was not the general PS you normally read, it was very very personal.
And I reflected it in a way that medicine is definitely the subject I wasn't to study.
I linked my introduction and conclusion together. My conclusion reminded them why I want to study medicine which was put in my introduction, but a very quick summary.
I think they are also looking for something different as well, have you done a research project at school, have you been in organising events, do you dance? Make it unique I guess and really personal.

Is anyone else waiting to hear?
It seems some people have phoned and been told all interviews have been sent out and others been told that they haven't?

Have many people got interviews for the 7th or is it mostly the 3rd?
Am i just waiting for a rejection or is there still some hope?
