KCL Entry requirements

Hi there, can anyone have any ideas about how strong your profile should be in order to get an unconditional letter from KCL I'm an international student and have no idea about their entry req because i didn't gave A Level. My education is kinda mixed I've gone out for the GED like average scores on all and I've given IELTS and AP with good results and I'm wondering if I'll have to give SAT too! Btw, I also have my grade 10 result averaging GPA 4.06 out of 5.00 and grade 11 results averaging GPA 4.50 out of 5.00. do you guys know if kings counts the final year results combined with 10,11 and 12 th grade results final for international students?! And yes do you think my profile is strong? And yes I'm particularly aiming for the war studies and my ECA profile is strong ranging my experience from working at a foreign NGO to a Voiceover Artist and volunteering and so on. Please I meed help!

What's on the KCL web page on specific requirements on academic qualifications from your country?

They said I've to go through the IFP in order to be considered because they don't directly consider applications from my country but they would if I've extra qualifications and aptitude tests combined

KCL is very demanding and strict on admission grades. KCL's IFP is highly regarded by UK unis. IFP's admission grades are similar to, or even higher than the undergraduate admission grades of some unis. Maybe they are not familiar with your home country's education and qualifications framework so they are very cautious. TBH, your chances of getting an unconditional to undergraduate course is very slim.

Would you consider other unis? As said, if you meet KCL's IFP entry requirements, you probably fulfill undergraduate entry requirements with a number of unis.

If your heart is set on KCL, doing an international foundation may be the way out. You may also consider IFPs offered by Queen Mary, SOAS and Warwick, they are also very good and highly regarded. I have a post on UK international foundations
