King's College London Applicants 2017 Entry

I hope we will hear from KCL and UCL soon, the wait is killing me! I understand your reasoning, at first I also wanted to put non-LNAT uni, but then I thought that 9000 pounds a year is a lot of money (at least in the country where I come from) and I just went for the top ones, I still hope the gamble won't backfire And also good luck with LSE in their case I guess no news is good news

I'm sure it won't backfire At any rate Durham gave you an offer right? And Durham is incredibly good. And yeah same for KCL and UCL... don't stress about LSE. It has bad student rep (apparently no one likes it there? At least I've heard, for law) but let's keep each other updated in the coming weeks xx just keep calm (or so I tell myself..)

No I haven't heard yet from any of my other choices I think it may be due to doing the LNAT on 29th of November. Yes that's a good idea! I was disappointed in LSE because I went to a campus tour there and really liked it, it was my favourite one after Cambridge. So now I am basically hoping for King's because I also liked it there when I visited. UCL was really confusing and I had trouble searching for the right building 😂

I'm a bit worried that Kings because it's a london uni won't be very social. I love
Going out and stuff so would a London uni be a bad idea, should I firm my offer in Durham or here?

London is as social as it gets...

I'm gonna be really honest here, I've never visited any uni open days except for Cambridge (also for the law conference)... but stumbled across UCL's campus for an external organisation's law taster day, which sucked and was a total waste of money, (think it was by InvestIN?) and coincidentally went for Warwick for a field trip (play for class civ.) Could only rmb it was super cold, but kind of nice looking. Haven't been to LSE/ KCL! Fingers crossed for King's >< was it really pretty?

So does anyone know how long King's usually take in average to notify their decision to applicants? (except for law or PPE since they seem to take much longer in general)

I'm from Hong Kong, but I'm technically a Canadian and I study abroad in the U.K! Oh yeah I really wanted to apply for Durham, but I was so stressed that I would muck up my LNAT that I decided to limit my LNAT unis to 2.. oh well I haven't heard from LSE... but KCL is such a good uni, lucky you!! ^^

I studied at King's (15-16) and it's plenty social. Walkabout, Waterfront, Varsity, halls of residence etc. London just affords you the opportunity of being able to escape from it, unlike a campus uni. Durham will be more of a tight knit community but you also miss out on what London has to offer you. It's expensive but 100% worth it.

When I applied in 2015 for history I submitted my app around January 10th and got my offer Feb 24th (date is etched in my mind)

I kind of connected all the unis except Durham around the Cambridge open day and went to look around. KCL's Strand reception building looks horrible from the stret but once you get inside it's quite nice

Coincidence, I'm also from Hong Kong, but technically a Canadian as well. I applied to LSE for law as well, but haven't heard back.

Ayyyy my long lost twin!
Same, I haven't heard back from any of the London unis...
But I did get an email from LSE about a week ago asking for extra info about my schools (?) where else did you apply for

I haven't heard back from my UK schools except one. I applied to Cambridge, Durham, LSE, Exeter, KCL. I applied to HKU, CUHK, City U for law as well. I also applied to several schools in Canada for a BA.

Got an offer for International Relations 😊😊😊

I see...!! Well, still no news today (though apparently LNAT's deadline just passed so we might hear from them soon?)
I see... well, I've googled and KCL looks amazing at night! Like something straight from the movies <3
Fingers crossed if we both get offers let's go for an open day together! xD
