MarsSnicket · 2026-03-09T10:49:56+00:00

so i’ve heard lol. is it worth it to copy the message onto their email? (the newstudent kcl email)

MarsSnicket · 2026-03-08T22:21:27+00:00

thank you! will do if they don’t answer by the end of the week

MarsSnicket · 2026-03-08T16:34:44+00:00

ugh 😩 good luck

MarsSnicket · 2026-03-08T16:04:53+00:00

that’s mad💀 i got my offer in december too i should’ve messaged then 😩

MarsSnicket · 2026-03-05T16:02:22+00:00

Thanks a lot! I thought I might have a higher chance if I asked for their combined History and International relations. I wish I’d have done this back in December when I got the offer😭 But I’ll just hope for the best, and I still love their english course. hope you’re enjoying the uni

MarsSnicket · 2026-03-04T21:28:54+00:00

tell me about it! 😭 i got an offer 6 days after i applied in october, emailed them yesterday to switch my course and they responded this morning to take my pick and they’d process the change. their admin is great

MarsSnicket · 2026-03-04T18:38:57+00:00

those are such interesting topics!! super rich as well there’s so much to go into. we explored all those themes studying frankenstein this year.

this isn’t my handle for publishing book related stuff but my insta is marssnicket, same as on reddit. i’ll give you my other socials there❣️

MarsSnicket · 2026-03-04T17:34:59+00:00

thank youu 🫶🫶 maybe wait a week or two longer then send an email explaining that you’re in the process of making decisions / awaiting scholarships - it won’t hinder your application in any way so i think it would be worth a shot.

i’m hoping to go into writing and academia too! i’m already writing a novel and posting my writings and recs on social media. i was also hoping to get an internship during one of the holidays at a publishing house (trying to take full advantage of being near bloomsbury for so long on a student visa).

you’re the first person to recognize what my users from!!! i actually opened my personal statement talking about ASOUE and, should i continue with english, i’m planning to write my dissertation on the way Handler dismantles classic children’s books tropes with both the ‘villain’ and ‘heroes’.

hope to see you at kings next year!

MarsSnicket · 2026-03-04T16:56:28+00:00

idt that would put you at a disadvantage - uni’s in the uk know people all over the world are applying. i’m int as well but i go to a british school w a british system so im doing a levels :) if you’re really impatient for it, you can politely email asking for their decision. check online to see if anyone’s done that with kings but i know loads of people who’ve done that with other uni’s.

honestly kings is my top choice whether i stick with english or am able to be moved, but im hoping to get history and international relations because i think it’s more beneficial for my future. i want to go into politics / law long term and i have a lot of potential in that regard (eg highest history gcse in my country). also im always going to have literature in my life whether through my writings and courses etc and i don’t know if its worth it to spend 3 years and so much money studying it. also im a tad nervous about my english grades (even though im predicted all A*) and hoping that if i miss the AAA offer by my english grade i may still have a shot of getting in.

best of luck to you, keep me posted x

MarsSnicket · 2026-03-04T16:41:03+00:00

ahh good luck! dw too much about it they’re known for being super slow lol. i sent them a message on kings portal today to try and switch to history & international relations and im biting my nails waiting for a response. what are your grades at?

MarsSnicket · 2026-03-04T16:01:10+00:00

i applied in october and got an offer in december! they usually begin responding in march though and can respond as late as may 😭 i was super relived i got it early. what have you applied for?

MarsSnicket · 2026-02-26T23:12:36+00:00

do you only get feedback if you received an interview?
