Im a French student applying for king's undergraduate medical course.

Could somebody tell me what are my chances to be invited to interview under the following circumstances: i have the equivalent of 4 A's at A-level, a very strong personal statement, 630 at UKCAT, 1year work experience as waiter and cashier plus a 3month observation at a GP's office?

Thanks in advance! :smile:

OP has the the equivalent of 4As at A-Level. So in that sense the UKCAT plays less of a role. I asked :smile:

They have 3500 applicants a year.

Your stuff looks very good but just know that it is VERY competitive and some people might actually out do you in more areas.

Yep, those enthralling lectures I just had on medical statistics and public health made me see the light in my decision! :p:

On the other hand, the lead anatomy/dissection dude is pure legend, really can't wait to get slicing now!

It was upsetting but I think it's easy to get caught up and let it get to you when it really shouldn't. Just view each of your choices as hurdles. If you knock one over, you gotta pick yourself right back up and keep on running...even if you knock all four, do another lap and try again.
