Kings Apply Messages

I sadly made a mistake regarding my application to Kings College and put 2026 as year of entry instead of 2025. I wrote Kings via Kings apply and they told me to add another choice with the correct date and withdraw from my first choice. I did as told but now I am freaking out because I am worried that this is going to seriously harm my chance of admission.
Also should I answer the Officer on Kings apply to be polite or would that only come across as annoying?

I cannot fathom why they would have told you to do this - its a piece of cake for any Uni to change your year-of-entry themselves online. Can I suggest that you phone UCAS and tell them that KCL told you do this?

No it wont harm your application - but it does mean you have used up one choice unnecessarily because of poor advice from KCL.

Yes, just to agree that’s a bizarre bit of guidance from Kings but it won’t affect your chances.

Ohh that sucks but luckily, it is not that big of a deal for me since I had not planed to use every choice. I am from Germany and am also applying to German Unis :smile:
But KCL would probably be my first choice.
Thanks for answering!
