I am aware that kings is a reasonably holistic admissions process, but that they heavily consider GCSEs against UCAT, and interview. Obviously I cannot predict my UCAT or interview performance and I won't try to. But KCL would be my top top school for a number of reasons which I won't go into.
I'm afraid my GCSE's let me down, they're not bad at all and I'm very proud of them, but I find it hard to gauge how good they are for a GCSE heavy university.
I got 9 8 8 8 8 7 7 7 7 7 7. So 5 9/8s, and 6 7s. As much as I want to go to King's, my primary goal is to get in SOMEWHERE, and I'd rather apply strategically and get in somewhere else, than risk it and not get in anywhere. So with these GCSEs, would a really high UCAT be needed to support it. Even if I did well on the UCAT, would it be better to apply elsewhere?
Sorry, this must be a question you guys get 1000 times a day, but my school, teachers and family are no help. It's always " you got all As and A*s of course you will get in" they don't understand much about the process, or that these GCSEs are kinda 'middling' for a med applicant.
Anyways, the work all you people do on here is amazing, I and I'm sure everybody else really appreciate it. Thank you for any insight.
