King's is one of the largest medical schools in Europe, in central London, with a five-year MBBS and intercalation options. It shortlists holistically — your GCSEs, grades, personal statement and UCAT are weighed together — so it rewards a strong all-round application rather than a single number.
King's takes a holistic view: rather than a hard cut-off, it weighs your GCSEs, predicted or achieved A-levels, personal statement, reference and UCAT together when shortlisting. There's no published threshold, but the average score among interviewed applicants has been around 2200 on the current scale, so aim for roughly 2150+ to be competitive and 2200+ to be comfortable. The exact picture shifts each year with a very large applicant pool.
Because King's is holistic, a strong overall application can carry a slightly lower UCAT — but with an average interviewed score near 2200, you don't want to be far below it. Check your percentile: if you're around or above 2200 with a strong profile, King's is a realistic London target.
