medicine admission Question
Dear King's College London,
what is the average number of a stars at GCSE for the successful applicants with offers in the last 3 cycles?
will 7 a stars at GCSE be a disadvantage from 8 A stars at GCSE by 10 points in your shortlisting system? I am asking this because I read this somewhere about king's shortlisting process. if true, please elaborate on how GCSE are calculated
Yours faithfully,
Jose pulisic

Dear Information Compliance,

Yours sincerely,

Dear Jose,
Please find the additional clarification below:
The scoring system is reviewed each cycle, the following data refers to
the most recent complete cycle. The UCAT point score was calculated by
multiplying UCAT score percentile rank (compared to other KCL applicants
in that cycle) by 100. Points were also assigned according to Situational
Judgment Band; 10 points for Band 1, 5 for Band 2, and 0 for Bands 3 and
4. The GCSE scoring process has already been explained. A variety of
widening participation (WP) factors were considered, for example
participation in WP courses such as K+, care leaver status, polar scores
and acorn scores. There were a total of 20 WP points available. Note that
all applications with a WP indicator were reviewed before rejection.
This completes your request.
Kind regards,
Information Compliance
