Kings College conditional offers

Hello, I'm currently holding an offer for politics, philosophy and Law. My conditional is 776 HL and a 35 overall, I have a high chance for scoring above 35, given how my exams went, however my HL will propably be either 775 or in the worst case scenario 765. The five would be for HL bio, which is unrelated to the course I want to study, while subjects such as philosophy and language A and B will all probably be sevens. What are my chances of still getting in, even if I fail to meet that aspect of the conditional offer?

There are no subject requirements for your HLs. KCL only asks for 766 totalling 19. With this requirement, it is more rigid than any combination totalling 19, with acceptance of a 5. KCL is not likely to accept missed conditions as they tend to give out more offers than place. That said, on results day, should you miss conditions, call them up to appeal. They may still accept you or they may place you on waitlist until A levels results.

it all depends on how strong the rest of your application is. How much did u get on the LNAT? How good was your personal statement? If you scored well on the LNAT and wrote a very strong personal statement (i.e. filled with supra curricular activities, strong and original reasoning for the choice of course, etc.) then you might get a place in August once A level results come out (some won't meet their offers, others will reject kings as a second choice - leaving a few free places. if your application stands out from the rest you might get a place)

It depends entirely on how all the other offer holders do - how many get their grades, how many spaces the Uni has left (if any) and if they decide/need to take any 'near misses'. Like everyone else you will have to just hope for the best and wait for your results.

There is no APPEAL.
University decisions about results are final and not up for pleading by disappointed applicants.

It has absolutely nothing to do with LNAT or any other bits about your application - it will be down to grades, and only grades.

This is not what my school friends have experienced. So it is not true there is no appeal. Unlike A levels where universities get results one week ahead of students, and during this time universities have made their decisions. For IB results, students get on the same day as universities, and some of my friends had succeeded in their appeals.
