KCL PPE

I’m a Year 12 Student, who is preparing to start uni in 2025.
I’m currently looking at PPE, but a lot of the unis have quite high applications. I’m predicted AAB at the time of writing although I think I can achieve higher than this.
At the moment my aspirational choice is KCL, whose requirements are A*AA. I’m wondering whether I have a chance of getting in?
According to UCAS, A*AA Students have an 100% Acceptance Rate, and AAB 57%.
I’m aware contextual offers may inflate this percent, but just wanted to make sure I had a chance.

Wsg my brother/sister, sorry that you haven't had any responses to this. I've firmed PPE at King's for this year actually, and it's amazing to see that you've considered King's for PPE as your aspirational; I did tooo (London > coventry any day of the week so warwick I said no them).
So your chances of getting in then? Welll, it comes down to many factors my dear friend. I believe you have strong chances; bolsten your personal statement and talk about all three disciplines not just 2 out of the three etc., and also your GCSE profile if you don't mind me asking? If you have achieved a majority of 7s 8s and 9s w/ only a few 4/5/6s say like 3 or 4 tops then you are calmm. But even then, what really matters imo is the personal statement your passion for the subject. Also are you eligible for contextual offers too? That way, your AAB predicted is just finee but more on that later. Yeahh you are right on that 57% being inflated by contextual offers, but my dear friend, you definitely stand a chance. About your predicteds and you thinking you can achieve higher; get your teacher/referee to mention on your reference about you being capable to achieving higher than the predicteds; or even, if it's not too late already, to try and get them to up it maybe by explaining your case to them. But Depending on
Always remember that there is also an element of luck to it as with anything really; university admissions is an arbitrary process (actually as rejected by all 5 universities cambridge lse ucl kcl and warwick for pure econ last year even before I sat my exams because of my personal statement so I've reapplied, for ppe with maths econ and further maths at a level whereby politics or philosphy would've even been more relevant than further maths but they still took me– but although they do specify that they don't have any required or even preferred subjects tbh). But yeah no I think you are definitely in good stead and have as good of a chance as anyone else if not better than, because you're already thinking about it now. Most Y12s are gonna be thinking about UCAS when they return back to school in Y13 in September; some will even leave it as far back as December/January even haha. And so, do definitely start going through drafts of your personal statement this summer and getting some super-curricular stuff done as well like book reading and open days just for insights etc. But I'm here to say that you definitely have a chance. Because if I was given one after being rejected by them last year, reapplied this year for a different course and they acted like nothing ever happened last year, no biases for switching, then you definitely do stand a chance from a fresh start💫🔵

Congrates ! JVorJrose for getting KCL PPE offer.
May I ask what did you apply this year and what offers did you get? Did U just use your exam grade last time to re-apply?

Hi JVorJrose,
How was the ratio of the three disciplines in your personal statement? Does it need very even length in each discipline? Your offer from Bristol seems not been affected by writing three disciplines.

Wsg my brother/sister, sorry that you haven't had any responses to this. I've firmed PPE at King's for this year actually, and it's amazing to see that you've considered King's for PPE as your aspirational; I did tooo (London > coventry any day of the week so warwick I said no them).

Sorry this is a bit random, But im looking at Kings/warwick for aspirations with 98877776666 at gcse is this ok

yes !! king's is also in london so the networking opportunities are better than at warwick, but warwick is a 'target' university whilst kcl is a 'semi-target'. essentially, people talk how warwick ucl lse oxford cambridge imperial are all targets for high finance (investment banking etc.) which is true. however, actually coming to university now myself, this isn't the best way to look at things. as first, not everyone wants to enter into high finance, second, it is still harder regardless; lse and oxbridge people still find it hard to land internships, and third, i have seen a very considerable number of people from queen mary land summer internships and grad schemes for high finance, as well as people from king's and other russell-groups such as bristol and durham - even royal holloway which isn't even a russell group. i have seen this both in real life and dozens more on linkedin. it really is about self-efforts. i know of people irl at lse and cambridge and then people from oxford on linkedin who haven't managed to land such prestigious internships; it really is about how much someone wants to grind, and not just the name of the university. or the degree even; people say that ohh it must be economics - no it doesn't? i've seen plenty of history and economic history and pure politics and even pure philosophy degrees break into consulting and other industries.
sry i went on a bit of a rant lol, it's just to emphasise to others that might be reading this that you should choose the university that you want to go to, because in the end it's all just smoke and mirrors, and especially with the current job market, but hopefully things will get better with time. now that doesn't mean choosing idk say university of bolton over kcl or birmingham city university over imperial but that it is okay if someone wants to go to manchester over ucl if they were in london all their life and wanted to move out (my friend did this exactly this for chemical engineering).
kcl and warwick are solid universities; don't worry your question is not random, your gcses are brilliant. all you need to do now is lock in for your a-level predicted grades and then a-levels💯
