When you say your accommodation confirmation do you mean an email confirming they received your application for accommodation or an email actually confirming your accommodation?

Thanks! :smile:


Receiving your application for accommodation, they're not giving out accommodation until August...

Pretty good if I'm honest, they were really friendly and seemed interested in what I had to say, I was nervous before-hand so they put me at ease :smile:

Word of warning though.. mine were the complete opposite to this and all stoney-faced :frown: so be prepared to bring some conversation and not depend all on them as well!

Definitely, my interview before King's at Notts was expected to be really nice and wasn't, so I went into KCL expecting the worst, better to get brought up rather than down, in my opinion :P, though good luck to all who are waiting to hear!

No, they don't do clearing for med. why have u been rejected? :/


They do have clearing.a few people got called on a level results day who had been rejected after interview.some people called themselves and were told there are spaces available and they'd call back,the person I know wasn't called back but others were!

From what I understand they said if you have over 700 UKCAT you get an automatic interview, so half the country seemed to apply there. they've ran out of time so just thrown offers at people with very high UKCATs leaving those who've had interviews and were told 'you won't hear till march' rather fecked off....

Thank god I didn't apply there!

some candidates, including myself, got rejected pre interview despite qualifying for automatic interview

i have contacted em and received responses that are just beyond ridicolous (phone, email, write a letter). although i havent insisted and an another camdidate got an interview after they reviewed her application


guess that those admission processes are stressful for those at the other end of the table too :smile:

Still very shortsighted of them to say 700= auto interview when the average has been shooting up a lot year on year. by saying that magic 700 also means that a hell of a lot more students will apply there....just seems like they've dug themselves their own grave!

Hey! my interview was on 15th Jan too :smile: what time was yours??


4pm, although in reality it was at about 4:10 because they were running behind a bit (I was a little worried when nobody came at 4pm to the waiting room to take me to interview haha). :biggrin: When was yours?

I think an international offer holder started a thread yesterday asking if King's was worth accepting the offer and paying the high international fees.

I think they'll probably give a couple to the exceptional interviewees.

When was/is your interview?
