Hi,

The interview itself is half an hour long but you’ll be required to join for the full 3 hours since there will be introduction, instructions and a waiting room for all the students awaiting for their interview slot/room.

I did my interview I got innn!!! But I do have a question, basically it’s a conditional offer but I already have my grades back since I took a gap year and they’re above what’s needed and it’s all on ucas? Is this just normal processing for them? I tried calling Kingston to ask if I should upload any documents or anything and what I should upload they weren’t much help and just emailed saying the “required documents” even tho there wasn’t anything on ucas saying if I had any required documents to upload.or what those required documents are. so I figured on osis I’ll just upload my certificate for a D*DD for applied science and my maths and English grade certificate in GCSEs just in case? I don’t know whether that was the right thing or if they need anything else or it just takes time. For them to confirm in their own ways.

And they said I need to do the necessary health checks and dbs checks. The dbs checks I’m assuming I’ll be emailed? Around when do you figure I’d be asked to do them

Huge congratulations on your offer, that's amazing news!!

You definitely did the right thing by uploading your documents on OSIS, its always best to upload your documents just in case.

I'd recommend emailing admissions to let them know you've uploaded everything so they can review it (it might take a little time). You can contact them at [email protected]. Just explain to them your situation and ask them anything else if needed.

Overall though, you're on the right track 😊
