Definitely have a strong chance at receiving an interview but don't listen to the other person saying its definite, KCL have rejected better applicants before

I made that statement as I have a sibling who started medicine at King's this year so based on my knowledge interview is definite.

Don't know about Leicester, but my sibling also had an offer from Manchester, they rely a lot on non-academic form, so it all depends on the content of that form.
I am applying to UCL, King's, Barts and Manchester

You are most likely to get interview as King's don't have absolute cut off. My sibling at King's had Ukcat 667 last year, so it should be fine

I'm worried because of my UKCAT... I applied to Barts, UCL and Imperial.

section 2 scores have varied: from 4.9 to 6.8... whereas section 1 from 4.3 to 5.3
I haven't attempted 2014 and 2015 past papers yet, I'm doing them tomorrow
for S2 I think the best way is to revise the content from the official guide, I personally find the physics questions really hard as I don't do physics A-level... and a week is enough to prepare for S2 :smile: Good luck!

UKCAT was horrible! I got 660 average and Band 2 (VR: 530, QR: 850, AR: 600)
Verbal reasoning killed me, QR pulled the average a bit up... what about you?
Just done a S1 paper and got 5.2, quite happy with it... there is still a lot to improve
