Kings College London- Medicine 2017 Entry

Worried! Not heard anything back yet
Applied for both Grad and Undergrad programs, 703 in the UKCAT with SJT band 2
Currently undergoing BSc Optometry but not the best A Levels with ABC and a c in as chem sadly! GCSEs were better 8A*'s some A's and 2B's in English lang and lit (let downs!)
Currently working at St Thomas' hospital (partner to kings)
Fingers are crossed!!!

As a grad they don't look at your A levels unless they don't feel there's a lot of chemistry/biology in your degree. If your degree has a decent amount of biology/chemistry I wouldn't worry about your A level results. I got exactly the same lol

oh hi! I think youre the first one I have seen on this thread, or maybe others havent made it so clear lol.

I havent heard anything either, but dont worry, someone mentioned that graduates get interviewed in January so technically we wont hear back till mid December earliest?

What are your stats if you dont mind me asking :smile:

The A102 course doesn't interview until January - I'm an international applying to A100 so my interview is by default end of January .

ahhh congrats man - do you mind me asking what your stats are?

Thanks :-) I got 710 in my UKCAT, 8A*s and 4A's at GCSE, and A*AA in my a levels! I was really suprised to be honest because I know there are people on here with much better stats! they call their process 'holistic' though and I think my personal statement was relatively ok as I spent so much time on it! But anyway hopefully I'll give some hope to other people with higher scores than me though haha! Good luck!!

To those of you with interviews, when did you submit your UCAS application? I want to see if King's is sticking to their 6-week decision policy.

Yes I think so.
On the open day I remember them saying like that they wanted band 1 or 2 and don't accept band 4
You'd need to check with them though :smile:
