Kings College London- Medicine 2017 Entry

Do kings want volunteering in a caring environment or is doing a lot of work experience (hospital, pharmacy, etc) ok??
would it be a disadvantage if my PS didn't have volunteering in a caring environment??

Nope

Yeah a lot. I'm currently sitting on the toilet contemplating life but I have applied to both the grad and undergrad courses with KCL and I phoned their admissions team prior to applying and remember writing down that the PS counts for a lot. I can't remember which, but it was either the 4 or 5 year course where UKCAT and PS were both held at 50\50 in terms of how serious they take them.

Can graduates apply for the 5 year course too? I thought that was only for undergraduates o.0

Yep.

If you apply for the 4 year grad entry AND get to the interview stage but fail to receive an offer, they will automatically list you and consider you on the 5 year course at interview stage.

However, I've applied for both the 4 and 5 year routes to maximise my chances.

Ah I see - how would selection work though? Because don't they look at A level grades for the 5 year course? (And most graduates tend to have less than AAA, the minimum requirement)

If you are a graduate, they DO NOT look at A Levels or GCSEs.

My bad, just checked King's website and 630 was a 'competitive score' last year.

I think it's listed as a desirable but nobody will have ticked everything on their list trust me. As long as some of them have been checked off you're fine.

does kings allow you to switch to the mbbs medicine course after a year of biomedical science?

No (unless it's something new this year)

oh i thought it did! because i know that queen mary does it but wasn't sure about kings! ok thanks anyays

Does queen Mary allow year 1 transfers? Omg where does it say this ? 😛😛

I have 4A*s 5As 1C at gcse and i've achieved 3 As at A-level and an A at AS, also have 700 in my ukcat. Do you think i have a chance of getting in with my low gcses?

What's the C in?
