King's College London Medicine Applicants 2012

hey same here i got rejected
dont know why?
not even an interview...so puzzled
so upset

Hey guys, I had my interview today, but I got there late so my prep time got cut down by a tiny bit. (stupidly got lost)

I didn't realise there was another side to the questionnaire. Do you think they will mind if I didn't fill this bit in? I think they just use it after the interview and will realise my mistake, so I hope I'm fine.

what were your stats?

AAAAB -AS
7A* 4A - GCSE
635 - UKCAT

didnt know i was that terrible
(my friend had 605 AABB for AS and 9A* 1A for GCSE and got interviewed)
quite puzzled and im crying ...

Hey, I've got mine tomorrow. Worried about the questionnaire now! Are you talking about the pre interview form? Or is it a genuine questionnaire you do right there and then before the interview?

7A* 4A - GCSE
635 - UKCAT

just a question- once at the interview stage do the take everything into account for making the decision for an offer/rejection (i.e. do they still look at gcse's ukcat as scores etc) or is just purely on interview performance that they look at??

Kings has a sliding scale for ukcat and grades. your friend had 2 more A* than you so they got interviewed with a low ukcat. This is at least my understanding. Cause getting an interview with a 605 at Kings is a pretty insane accomplishment...

I know its disappointing but don't cry - you have the other unis that you've applied to and it's all about doing Medicine not the university - all med schools are amazing places to study and you'll enjoy it wherever you go.

Hey love, dont cry, think about it as extreme competition, you cant be bad at all if you applied to med school? I got rejected yesterday and I really wanted to go Kings! But dont worry , i dint get interviewed either. There are a lot of applicants! Just focus on this year and getting your grades. Good luck with your other universities!

thank you!!
im still pretty down
its just that i mucked up bmat and now this so theres two rejections already!

just feeling depressed and all im thinking whats the point of working for good alevels when there is no where to go..

sorry for the rant!
thank you and best of luck to everyone!

Nope, this is not true. I got my offer last year and had a UKCAT score of about 670. The good think with King's is that they asses everything. GCSEs, UKCAT, experience, etc.

Still waiting for King's....my sister got her rejection today and she hasn't heared back yet from Nottingham so I feel guilty about my interview there

thank you!!

did they reject via portal or email ? :/

Sorry if someone's asked this before, but was just wondering: if you are a graduate applying to the 5 year medicine course, do you have to fulfill the Chemistry and Biology A-level requirements like the A-level applicants do? Or is just having an undergraduate degree at 2:1 or above in any subject sufficient (like it is if you are applying for the graduate entry 4 year course)?
