Kings college london offers me a course i did not apply for

HWhat should I do?

That is obvious. It is an offer. You put it offer into consideration against any others you have once all your other decisions are in. If you prefer it to others, accept it; if not, decline it.

The operative proverb, of course, is never look a gift horse in the mouth.

I'm confused as to why I'm receiving a HISTORY offer.

I've applied for IR at KCL as well, not sure wether to expect an offer but I can see why it's your dream uni! If you have offers from another uni you like in IR id say take it, it's a much more employable degree than History but I can see why it would be difficult for you.

Aw, hopefully you do get an offer; you definitely deserve it. Yes, I've received offers from QMUL, SOAS and Westminster, but I'm relying on adjustment at this moment of time.

Thank you, I hope I get a simple acceptance or rejection as I don't envy your decision! So KCL is the only Russell Group you applied for? May be worth doing unless you are completely set on IR, how difficult!

Hello,

So, I applied for Kings College's International Relations course with entry requirement of A*AA, which understandably my lacking predicted grades (mainly my very unfaithful teachers) of A (Biology) A (Politics) and B (History) meant I got a swift rejection a mere week later.

I'd quickly called them up asking for the reasons (although I was aware it was my low predicted grades. They'd confirmed my suspicions and mainly brought up my B in History which had weakened my strong application considerably; yet they would've possibly given me an offer if I had gotten predicted an A in History.

Yet, I'd received an email from King's Apply saying I was considered for the History course with entry requirements of AAA, obviously an A for History, which confused me. I hadn't applied for it myself, but they were already considering my application for the course, thus I had no say in it. Therefore I let it happen, wondering whether I would get a second rejection from my dream uni.

They'd accepted me, which makes me utterly confused. Why reject me for a course mainly due to my B in History but give me an offer in the History course? What should I do?

Also, I've already decided to reject the course since History isn't my main passion and the King's course is, honestly, not appealing to me.


Thank you.

Hey– the exact same thing happened to me today, I was applying for the PPE course, and they just send me an email today saying that I didn't get in but that they were considering me for the History course. I also have no idea what to do, have you called them or do you know anything more?

You could have asked that if you did get the required grades for IR if they could let you switch on results day.

The exact same thing happened to me today although my story makes a lot more sense. I’m predicted an A* in history and I clearly have a passion for it so I didn’t need to question why they put me in the history course. But my dream course is International relations so I was kinda gutted that I didn’t get through but I feel like Kings would be such a great uni experience so I’m stuck. I’ve received an offer from SOAS, Bristol, Exeter and am waiting to hear back from LSE. I’m hoping I get into LSE but I hear the worst things about the student there like ever which scares me. Ugh it’s such an annoying and confusing situation I want to go to kings so bad but History at least makes sense for me. So weird how the out you in history it just creates the impression that they don’t care that much about where they want you but at least they haven’t completely disregarded you I gues..... good luck though! Sorry I ramble this reply is too long

You're now the third person on TSR who had posted about King's offering them History instead. Applications must be down...
