Hey! I am sure it is a mistake if you received an offer on ucas. Where does it show “offer accepted” on your kings apply? Was your offer unconditional

On my application overview, just under "application status".
I also got the "your offer" tab with all the programme information and conditions etc. yesterday
probably gonna call them up to check this is a mistake tomorrow

it says they'll send an email from 4 months before enrolment (so from 26/05) with all the information so i don't think we have to do it just yet

Is anyone else struggling to choose between Kings and Barts (I get it’s a nice problem to have!). I’ve had a look at older threads comparing the two and tried to ask around but I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts, particularly current students. Thanks!

Hey does anybody know any KCL medics and what the social life is like? I’m tryingg to decide between Birmingham and kings but I keep hearing from other students that there isn’t much of a social life/ uni feel to kings?

Hi, has anyone noticed a pattern so far on how they update availability on the residence portal? Do they add new rooms once a week / once in 2 weeks or totally random? Thank you x

it's the disclosure barring service - basically a criminal background check so nothing to worry about unless you've been convicted for a crime!

i've done one before and it's essentially just sending them proof of ID through their service and waiting for 6 weeks :smile: really nothing to worry about

It's not a mistake because the same exact thing has happened to me. I'm guessing that when someone with an offer withdraws their application or firms somewhere else they give the offer to someone on the waiting list! Don't stress about it I'm in the same position, also congrats :smile:

So I'm trying to register for accommodation and i've put my student number (from the offer letter) as my user and got emailed my temporary password, but when I put the password in it keeps saying my user/password is incorrect ? not sure what i'm doing wrong, any help would be great!

Have u made sure uve put caps lock on , when my son did his, he asked twice for the password, the second password was different, then that worked and let him choose his own password. This was 48 hrs after he had firmed kings.

Sorry if it's already been asked but how often does the accommodation portal update with new rooms? I know new rooms were added today but none for Stamford Street or GDSA so I'm wondering whether to book somewhere else as a backup and try to switch later or whether it's better just to wait?

Who here got an offer and is in Year 13 not in a gap year or a graduate. Please like if your in Year 13.
