Kings College London- Medicine 2017 Entry

Original post by Mo_elheramy

from reading previous forums, they have interviewed band 3 but on their website it says that it's unfavourable I believe. I think people who did get interviews with a band 3 were all above 740 ukcat though from the people I saw in the forums, doesn't mean they don't offer interviews for band3 with lower than 740, I just haven't seen that in forums.

thx

A*?? I thought the offers would be AAA

Based on what I read, the average entering marks of the class were A*AA, but offers could definitely have been made based on getting AAA.

do they accept band 3.

If you're a home student, a high UKCAT score may help you there. But if you're international, it's highly unlikely that they'll look at your application further.

A100 internationals: heads up that the Jan/Feb dates for the international interviews haven't been decided yet so we may be waiting a bit longer to hear back

Can anybody predict when rejections might be sent out?

I sent them a message through the portal. They said that the dates hadn't been decided yet but they'd let us know as soon as possible.

Last year rejections and interview invites were sent out at the same time. I'm not sure what they're doing this year.

Thank you,

TSR curse that you compare yourself to interview receivers on this thread - really doubting my chances and just want to know when I'll know if it's a no!

I feel you but you have to remember that you've worked very hard for your achievements and they're not to be taken lightly. And everybody has a different background so there's a lot of factors to consider.

From my time in the rabbit hole that was those FOIs, as long as you meet the academic requirements, there's a chance :smile:

Totally agreed. If not for the reason of having a chance to go to medical school, but for the reason of being able to drop organic chemistry II+lab if I have UK interviews that might pan out.

Yeah I have to plan my revision for January exams. What degree are you doing? (mine's biomedical engineering)

I already graduated but medical schools in the US have specific courses that they require like organic chemistry, general chemistry, bio, physics, etc. So I'm taking an extra year to do some more courses and fulfill those requirements - but if I don't get any interviews from the schools that require the second organic chemistry course, I'm not in the mood to suffer through more organic chemistry.
