You can definitely apply for the extended medical degree program that kings has. It's only for students who had taken their GCSE's at a non selective school. They have a list of eligible schools from which students can apply from. Offers are AAA-BBB I think? You won't need all this A* business. Look it up on UCAS.
Hope that helps :smile:


I have had a look at their 6 year course but that says that you should have not attended a selective sixth form and not school. I currently do attend a selective sixth form.

Are you sure about the selective school thing?

School and sixth form mean the same thing :P You need be at one of these: http://www.kcl.ac.uk/medicine/study/ug/mbbs/2014-EMDP-schools-list.pdf

If not, EDMP isn't an option. Don't bother with A100, you would be doubtful in getting an interview even with 900 on the UKCAT. Try other medical schools which don't place emphasis on GCSEs. If your school performs below average some unis will take that into account.

Sort of regret rescheduling my interview, not that I had a choice. But apparently it could be a few weeks before I'm given another date. Damn it.


I may have to reschedule mine too :/ so do you mean they didn't even give you another date , they just said we will give you a date in a few weeks? Also can I ask when you told them?

Haha ya it's a bit frustrating that they aren't so accommodating of reschedules. If they're going to give an international applicant less than three weeks notice for an interview atleast give me a choice of two days.

But I can't really blame them

Hi there!
I'm a predicted 100/100 at the Esame do Stato. Are you applying for A100? I guess you're a gap year! I think you're still considered an EU applicant. Congratulations for your interview :smile:

yep a100

last year they made some stories aause i didnt have predicted grades for the individual subjects (i was predicted 98/100)...this year with grades achieved it has probably be easier

as long as your ukcat is good you will definitely get called soon

What is the "ethical scenario"? Like do you get a scenario and write an essay or is the essay something different?

They asked me to send all my predicted grades, the ones of access to the diploma, did they asked you this as well?

Any international students received offer or invited for interview?
My invitation doesn't say essay, it says questionnaire. So confused :-(

I had my interview last month, and we had an essay. Apparently someone leaked the question though, so maybe that's why it it says it's a questionnaire? Seems a bit odd though, giving some people an essay and others a questionnaire. You could email them or send them a message through your portal and ask? Good luck with the interview :smile:

What is the difference between the essay and the ethical scenario people were talking about? Or is the essay based on the ethical scenario?

hmm I don't think that's right! They had several essay questions not just one! I think its just a mistake in sending the updated version with the interview invite!
