Hi, I guess I am the first person here!

- What subjects are you currently studying? Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Welsh Baccalaureate
- Which course are you applying for? Biomedical Science
- Why KCL? The course is very flexible and offers modules I am really interested in, the teaching is apparently very good, also the location (I am from a small town, so London is exciting to me)
- What's a fun fact about yourself? I hate these questions lmao, but I do karate so I guess that's quite interesting :smile:

I think I'm the second person here. 1. I do the IB, so I take around 6 subjects; Higher level Literature, Business, and Economics (which is currently kicking my ass), and Standard Level ESS, Math Apps, and Spanish Ab.2. I'm interested in applying for the business management course3. I think KCL isn't only an incredibly accredited Uni, but one that provides an opportunity to meet new people and understand a wider range of perspectives. 4. A fun fact about myself is that I enjoy doing archery. I'd appreciate any and all advice, especially if I'm feeling weary of my chances at KCL and whether or not KCL is open to offering places to grades lower than the requirement.

Am a bit late to this thread:colondollar:

Am applying for international relations.. which is super nerve wracking as I know that its crazy competetive, am currently studying Geography, Economics and Politics at A-Level. sent my application to my college yesterday who audit it, but should be sent pretty quickly by them anyways.. reading the responses on this thread, it seems people are getting responses fairly quickly ??
applying to KCL for the same reason as my other choices (UCL, St. Andrews, Exeter and Bristol) because they're bloomin good Unis ! but in all seriousness the structure of the course and location of the uni is soo good and living in a rural area it would be nice to see some diversity for a change!

I'm also applying for Politics and IR. I sent off my application 2 weeks ago and already have some offers but most choices are different form yours (except UCL and Kcl). Don't freak out if it takes a while though I heard those unis take quite a long time.

I'm sorry to hear that :sigh: Here's hoping your other choices will give you offers. Which course did you get rejected from, if you don't mind me asking?
How long did it take to receive an offer after they received your application?

Thanks
