Has anyone received a kings college offer for history and political economy

Hi. Has anyone whatsoever heard back for history and political economy at kings? I applied with AAB, lower grades then required, and am stressing slightly as ucas says I have a 35% chance. Anyone know anything or gotten an offer?

I've applied for just Political Economy, but they do take their time with applications - they say around 8-12 weeks for a response. I applied a month ago and nothing yet, so don't worry about not having received anything yet

Hi there. Thanks for the reply. I only applied around 2 weeks and a half ago. Not so worried about the reply itself as I have read online that kings is one of the slower unis to reply. Just wanting to know if anyone’s gotten an offer and at what grades for some reassurance. I think my chances are slim but still hoping. Good luck with your application also

Yes, I did thankfully! I had 99999998A*A at iGCSE, and 43/45 predicted at IB, with 776 (roughly A*A*A) at Higher Level.

Wow that’s amazing. A whole lot better than my profile. Hopefully I still have a chance as I applied to the slightly less competitive version of the course 🤞

Good luck for your application! What are your stats? Also, have you applied for Political Economy alone, or with History?

Thank you! My stats are AAB for Economics, Business and Sociology all A levels. My GCSE stats are 8-5 with the majority being 6s. I’ve applied for the one with History for a better chance as the grade requirements are AAA instead of A*AA. Also achieved an 8 in History GCSE so thought it would be a good fit. I think I’ll have consideration due to my area but don’t think it will quite be contextual. My application was received on the 4th of November I’m pretty sure.

Did you write your ps to cater to Kings specifically? I'm doing normal history at all the other unis so I'm not sure how my ps should be

Hey any word back yet, achieved very similar stats and was looking to apply but not sure if it would be worth the spot as if i do apply it would be my first choice

I applied for this course as well about just over a month ago and haven't heard anything. Keep in mind that over Christmas and New Years they won't be looking at applications, although I'm sure they will start again soon, so don't stress!
