Chill.

There have been lots of posts of this - use the search facility :smile:

But, to summarise, the waiting list is a method that admissions staff use to make sure they give the right amount of offers out. People on the waiting list are usually those who have boarderline scores in their interviews. Once interviews are over (April), they will calculate how many places they have left, and make offers to people on the waiting list accordingly. Offers are made to highest scoring candidates in descending order so when you had your interview has no bearing at all.

If you get rejected in April, don't worry too much. If you get your grades in August, ring and ask for a place. I know a few people who got in this year that way.

GL!

my kcl intvw was on 23/02 & i got a letter like that today, i think it just means that they're probably going to reject us, but not just yet. When they say that they'll let us know by april 06, does it mean 1/april or 1-30 april?

hey everyone, i managed to get an offer from kings but for 2007 because iam 3 days too young for the course starting 2006 :frown:

do you think i should just accept it and take a gap year or should i try and plead for 2006 entry...

im not too sure on the idea of a gap year...its good to earn some money, travel a little, enjoy it but i can do that in the long summer that we have and theres not really any need to take an entire year out!
not sure..any thoughts anyone? would be much appreciated :smile:

in view to being too young, the same thing happened to someone who's in my year now, and she was only 1 day too young, but they told her she couldnt be a med student for insurance purposes or something like that, so you might have to take a gap year. It doesnt have to be a wasted year though, you could always try and get a job as something like a health care assistant in your local hosp, then by the time you get to med school not only will your communications skills be 100 times better than all the other freshers who've never really talked to a patient, but you'll have a real understanding of how a hospital works.
