My only concern is now the UCL entry exam, since I took a gap year and forgot maths already XD lmao

Well, yep, the maths exam is quite challenging. By the way, do the personal statements for Warwick and KCL have to be less than 4,000 characters? Unfortunately, I haven’t found any info about the word limit

For Warwick is very different. You can look up on their website, it is not like the regular 4000 characters for KCL, It consists of 3 questions that you basically can pick from several of other questions and write 200 words, maybe if I'm not forgotten, for each of the questions. So it is very different

I am also wondering how much time does it approximately take to receive an offer from Kings? I am so nervous at this point... + I haven’t found any info about the competitiveness around ifp courses. Fingers crossed that we will all end up where we want to be

Hi guys! I have the same plans and ambitions as you do. I am planning to apply to KCL, Warwick, and UCL for ifp. Btw, how long did it take to receive the response?

I assumed is faster, maybe it is not like 7 days or more. Unless you apply to like Edinburgh IFP via ucas and you are in the queue with others who apply to bachelors,etc. Then, It would take longer.

I think we can continue chatting via the direct chat, since our choices basically the same and therefore there will be a higher chance that we can meet at the foundation and be friend! . Btw I just got an offer for Warwick IFP! Going to apply KCL next Monday.

Hey again! I wanted to ask - what criteria did you rely on while writing a kcl PS? i've only found one regarding "a minimum of four paragraphs". is there something else?

I wrote 3999 characters and the word cap is 4000 characters; It seems to be the right word cap as is shown in their application portal because I have sent my own application. So, 4000 characters with 4 paragraphs or more I guess

There is still a lot of time until next year. Take your time, It would be equal consideration even if you turn it in on the last day of the application.

Hi again! have you guys applied to King's? If it's ok to ask :smile: because I am scared that I still haven't gotten any reply from them, it's been 3 weeks :frown: since I assumed it to be faster like within a week.

Hi! I just applied couple of days ago. Maybe they are too busy with UCAS applications right now
