Hi I got waitlisted a few days ago for med at kings (EMDP) I’m not sure what uni you’ve been waitlisted for. Looking at previous years the waiting list is very long and the chance s of getting an offer are very slim. I’m not sure about all unis but for kings they can’t tell you what position you are in on the waiting list and to remain on the waiting list you can’t have any other offers and you can’t accept them either so it’s actually a big risk. Hope this makes sense and good luck!

Yes it makes sense a lot. Mine is Plymouth FY medicine. It's just 5 people on the waiting list.
