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

In Every Medical School, they must carry out DBS for security reasons, essentially like a security clearance or if you have convicted a criminal conviction

there's offer holder-specific campus tours on the king's website now - not sure how different they are from the regular ones?

I can only see the general campus ones, is there something else? (And could you post the link? :biggrin: )

i got an email this morning about a medicine offer holder hub and they were on there - here

and here's the eventbrite link to the offer holder tours :3 they're on tues/thurs instead of mon/wed/fri like the other ones are

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!

I was trying to decide between leicester and kings and honestly really loved them both. I guess its just about more opportunities and living in london, plus when I did a lot of research, the facilities and clinical placements on Kings were really good.

Wow okay so I’m stuck choosing between Leicester and king’s too. I really loved the open day at Leicester and haven’t had a chance to get to know king’s which is what makes me quite hesitant about what to firm and not. Thank you for sharing

Hi would really appreciate if anyone who's firmed as well could let me know if you got any communication from kings and how long after firming

i didn't get anything apart from random emails from kings about offer holder hubs and a general congratulations for accepting our offer etc
the first of these emails came 2 days after i firmed

on kings apply it updates and says "acceptance of offer" after you firm

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?
