Official: King's College London A100 2023 Entry Applicants and Offer Holders thread

Yk what if ppl read this and then proceed to apply to this **** uni, it's on you man

Have you read the chat .... why would they want to apply

I'm sure plenty of people will apply regardless due to perceived "prestige".

true ... i came into the med process thinking like that but ended up wanting sgul (though it's not "prestige") i think the uni will help me become a good doctor

DO NOT APPLY TO THIS UNI
I'm not a med applicant however this happened with every course and I want to warn people. They were too lazy to reject everyone themselves and just waited until ucas auto rejected us because they never made a decision on our application. I waited 6 months to not even get a clear response, I don't even know why I did not get an offer since they never sent a rejection email or given any sort of explanation, and admissions office keep giving contradicting messages telling people that offers can still come out past the deadline and giving people false hope and then telling everyone they were all rejected. There's a reason why they have one of the lowest student satisfactions in the UK. For your own sanity do not apply here you'll be going through months of stress for nothing. Don't waste one of your uni choises and apply somewhere where they actually respect and care about their students, because if this is how they treat their applicants I don't even want to know what happens to their actual students.
I highly recommend reading through https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7089976&page=474 before applying here.

Too many ppl like That medic, Kharma Medic and Kenji to listen to this smh

Another 2022 here.
Echoing everything that’s been said before.
Do not apply here - they don’t care about you. You’re a number, not a person.
There are literally 30+ other schools in the UK who would treat you better.

One of the worst admissions team ever.

Do NOT apply to KCL med. Save yourselves from the months of waiting.

Applying to medicine means that you are already an early applicant. I personally have submitted all my choices very early in October. From October to now, not a single word from the admission team. No updates. Not by email or on King's Apply. To be honest I would not be as mad even if they rejected me a few days before the UCAS deadline. But to go completely AWOL even on the 19th May (UCAS deadline), and then sent out an email on the 20th that says you are 'rejected by default' on UCAS because they 'were unable to send all of our rejection notices through before yesterday's deadline' and say that they 'appreciate this is confusing' but 'wanted to clarify and assure you that your application was assessed by our Admissions Team', that is just very disrespectful.

If they can send out a mass email explaining the whole 'rejected by default incident' the day right after the deadline, surely sending out a mass rejection before the UCAS deadline would be very much feasible. And even that would be much better than leaving UCAS to do the job, regardless on how they promised not to do a mass rejection (from previous tsr posts on 2022 thread).

Just don't apply. The anxiety you get from the long wait along with A levels revision does not worth it. I was sold by their prestige back then, don't make the same mistake as me.

not only this but there are literally 30+ other schools in the UK which ARE better than kings. please for future applicants reading this, kings is not prestigious at all. the only reason you think its prestigious is 1) its a well known Russel group 2) its in central London.

QS ranks it 16th in the world - it is prestigious (and you all know this or you wouldn’t have applied there). And if it is as bad as you say, what does it say about all of you that didn’t get a place. Embarrassing.

For those who are angry with the University I empathise with you and I understand your frustration. I would just like to offer the other side of the story for potential applicants who will be applying next year. You can see from the previous posts a lot of the truth about what happened to *some* people last year. But please don't be entirely put off. There were a lot of people who did receive offers and King's is definitely a university to consider. For a 2023 applicant, if you do wish to apply here then make that choice on your own. Do take into account what people have said but there is also a flip side and in a year where everything was so competitive due to backlog from last year and rising applicant numbers, there were a lot of people who did get offers. This is simply an unbiased opinion for any potential applicant and I mean no disrespect to the people who feel they have been treated unjustly, It is a long wait and there is less communication but there are many good things about this university and going here would be a wonderful opportunity for anyone who is thinking of applying. Please do not be completely put off!
