I received an interview invitation (A100) on the 15th Nov'.


What's your UKCAT?
Have any graduates applying for A102 got any replies yet? I got 2150 for my UKCAT (717 average) and a 2:1 in biochem and i'm freaking out that this isn't good enough!! I suppose at this point no news is good news

I am too. Slightly lower UKCAT but haven't heard anything either. Maybe graduates hear later?

Grads definitely hear back later. I have a 2.2 and masters with a 690 UKCAT and I haven't been rejected yet, so I reckon nobody has heard yet!

I am not sure how they rank, have you checked your portal as there is a slight delay between messages and notifying you via email- keep looking, don't worry. What are the rest of your stats like?
I don't think SJT is used in ranking - I got an A100 interview with a Band 2 and people have gotten offers in the past with Bands 3 and 4.
Hello,

Did everyone receive a confirmation email direct from Kings with a portal log in? :s

I doubt Bands would be used in rankings. Ranking an applicant would be done by PS/Reference/GCSEs/UKCAT predominantly id have thought

Hi fellow graduates, I made an A102 thread the other day to make it easier to see A102 related updates :smile: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=4424452

And no, I also haven't heard anything yet :frown:

Hey yeah, everyone should have but there was a slight delay for some due to network problems on their side. I think contacting them sorted those that didn't receive the confirmation/portal login.

What were your GCSEs?
Original post by Pewpewpizza
I emailed the admissions for kings, and they said GCSE's don't matter so long you already take the subject at a higher level. I myself do not have GCSE's or any equivalent but I take all the required subjects in IB and the admissions said it would not hinder my application


GCSEs are an important factor for all UK applicants. These can easily be set-off by a good UKCAT. Their policy states that IB can be used in place of GCSEs.

I submitted on October 4th so it's 7 weeks for me. Is there a "deadline" of some sort relating to when we should be hearing from universities because I am not aware of this?

Thanks.

They said in the acknowledgment email that we should hear back in 6 weeks but don't think that applies to Medicine anymore 😪

I remember it said something like it could be around 6 weeks or more if medicine and dentistry etc, I don't think they stick to it as it's been almost 8 weeks since I sent mine :frown:
