Not gonna make the UCAS deadline

Is it even worth applying after the deadline,I’m an international student from Canada and I don’t know how but I had the completely wrong date in my head.I want to politics and international relations/affairs and I really wanted to go to Kings college London along with some other Universities I wouldn’t mind going to.

For the big unis like King's College and similar, unlikely, but not impossible. There is UCAS Extra and UCAS Clearing for those that apply after the deadline, which Kings may or may not decide to participate in. The picture will become clearer on the 26th of February, which is when UCAS Extra opens. Worth ringing up King's admissions to see what they say as well.

Although the majority of competitive Unis will close courses after Wednesday, this may just apply to UK applicants and they may still be accepting International applicants - and you may still be able to apply. Phone each Un on Weds morning UK time and ask.
It’s very much course by course, even at outwardly competitive unis. I agree, it’s worth checking rather than assuming.
