oh i have just applied yesterday and get confirmation letter from KCL today. I sat IGCSE and I believe my grades were decent. Even though this course require strong math foundation and i did extended math and additional math, i do not see any requirement for GCSEs listed on any of KCL course. I think just work on your predicted grades and personal statement then it should be fine

Hey, Has anyone recieved any reply from kings about accounting and finance course ? Do you think they focus more on grades or personal statement? Like will they select a student with high predicted but mid ps or a student with good ps but predicted the minimum to get in ?

I think it varies, but students with good grades are everywhere so to most unis they will read ur ps too see if it is realistic, passionate, and fit enough to the course. Mind if I ask ur predicted and igcse?

I applied with AAA and the entry req was A*AA so I’m assuming that was a major factor in the decision.
