Selection process: Generally, UCAT score accounted for 50% of the ranking, GCSE Individual and School performance, 40% and other widening participation factors, 10%. The UCAT score is calculated by multiplying their UCAT score percentile rank (compared to other KCL applicants in that cycle) by 100 with points added according to the SJT Band: 10 points for Band 1, 5 for Band 2, and 0 for Bands 3 and 4. For GCSEs, points were awarded according to the number of A*s achieved at GCSE (subject is not considered). Less than 5 scored 0, 5 scored 10, 6 scored 20, 7 scored 30, 8+ scored 40. Scores were adjusted according to the GCSE attainment quintile of the school. If the school performance sat within one of the lowest two quintiles, then we also counted A grades achieved at GCSE towards the A* count mentioned above. For schools in the 3rd quintile, each A grade is considered equivalent to 0.5 of an A*. For schools in the top two quintiles, no adjustment is made. Note that this scoring system is reviewed each cycle and may not remain the same.

Good luck!

Don’t worry, at least you’ll know one other grad will be there. I hope there are a lot more 😭

I guess I'll be the third one 😉. Yeah, I hope we meet a few more.
Does anyone know where to find the shared spreadsheet for A100 2024 entry for stats? I know there was one but I can’t remember where

Thank you for the detailed information, however I couldn’t find the scoring information on King’s official website, so I am just wondering do they still use the above mentioned formula for the selection process for 2025 entry? What is the source of this formula? Does anyone know about this? Thank you so much😊

Hello all. I have made a spreadsheet for 2024 applicants. Please fill out your information as we go along so current and future applicants can be guided. I have added my email on the page for any questions or issues.
The link allows you to view and edit:

quick note: Yes I've added questions that we will only be able to answer after hearing back in advance.
Thank you!

Hi
Lovely effort. Is there any similar spreadsheet for school leavers which you could direct me to? Thanks

Far too many A100 applicants for this to be viable, so one has never been set up

Regarding the Admission statistics, I remember calling up most of the universities in UK around August/ September 2023. The most unanimous answer I got from all of them is that they will not release the admissions results of the current 1st year medics until after last UCAT exam or until UCAT results are released. One uni said to wait until UCAS submission in October 15 which was a bit stressful as it made choosing my options harder. They told me to use the previous year application cycle as a reference. Some unis admissions team went out of their way to have a look for me for any available public stats and others also emailed the head admissions tutors to refer me to them if I had any further questions. I would 100% recommend you call up their admissions team & email them. You can request them for the stats or Qs related to it, you could also ask when they would release them etc.
