I sent my UCAS application off months ago and the only place I want to hear from is Kings and they are being slow, anyone else experienced that?

Yup - I heard a week ago I had been rejected. They technically have until the end of March so you are probably in with a good chance, they would have rejected you by now if you weren't a good candidate. Have you checked track regularly?
Good luck!

It always takes a long time for any universities admissions departments to get back to all prospective students because of the sheer numbers. So don't panic!
There tends to be different staff dealing with different subjects, too, and also for dealing with overseas applicants.
If you are applying from abroad, a polite phonecall in the next week or so to enquire as to whether or not they have received your application would not be out of order, but don't expect any confirmation of an offer and don't ask for one either, as the last thing the staff need is to start answering those kinds of questions with everything else going on at this time of year! However if you are applying from a UK school then I would speak to your school's relevant person that deals with the UCAS applications (eg Head of 6th Form) as it's early days still to be hearing.
Kings College London always receives a high number of applications too due to its reputation so this could also account for any delay.
Don't stress, it'll get sorted out!

I haven't, but remember answers from any university, because of the number of applicants applying, can take a long time. Give them till the end of this week, and if there is no word call them or write them and send it certified/ overnight express mail. You won't get an acceptance nod, but you will receive a (usually green) certified mail accepted card that shows that the people there received your mail. Should you decide to write, be up front and ask them if your application and any other materials sent were received. I'm not trying to "put the fear of God in you", but sometimes mail can get mishandled to and from or "within quarters." Good luck to you!

Get your school / college to chase this. Your head of year / tutor should have some idea as to how long this place usually takes to reply.
