How flexible are uni offers?
Reply 1
Universities can be slightly flexible, but it really depends on the course and competition that year.
For King’s (KCL), they’re usually quite strict with entry requirements, especially for competitive courses. That said:
•
If you miss the offer by a small margin, but your personal statement, references, or interview were strong, they might still accept you.
•
Some flexibility tends to show up during Clearing or Adjustment, when they have unfilled spaces.
•
It’s worth emailing or calling admissions directly — sometimes they’ll give you a clearer sense of what grades they actually accept in practice.
