I think your stats are fine because I know someone with 600 avg that got in last year


Where did they get in with a 600 average? And was it for the foundation course or the normal medicine course?

Hey there, I applied for this course and really hope to be made an offer. Do you know when about do King's start giving out interviews and any tips on how best to prepare? Would some interview questions be about A-level biology and how to tackle NHS questions?
A reply will be very much appreciated😀

For EMDP, last year they gave out interviews late December, early January time. I would say to prepare for any science or maths questions. Even though it’s an MMI, I suggest you prepare for it like you would for a panel interview ie reflect on why you want to do medicine, your work experience, current NHS issues and how you would answer questions related to ethical scenarios

Thank you so much for your reply!😀 I will take what you have said into account and start preparing as best as I can. To be honest, I dread the interviews so much😅

Does anyone know how kings weight the SJT band , eg what score do you get for each band . Also if your application is strong but your SJT band is low how much of an impact it can have?
