Hi guys, it's nice to see other graduate applicants for vet med. I am three days away from having my results for a BA in Anthropology (hoping for a 2:1). However, over the last term I have really been debating why I have not followed my true vocation and passion for medicine and animals. The issue for myself, as I'm sure others have experienced, is that after three years of a degree (some of which is certainly scientific), I am rusty on chemistry, biology and so on. For my A-levels a few years back now, I managed an A in Chemistry at AS and an A in Biology A-level. Meanwhile, for my other A-levels I managed A grades in Religious Studies, Psychology, History, English literature.
Given the fact I do not have an A-level in Chemistry (never did maths or physics), will this seriously hinder me? I have seen that Nottingham offer a preliminary year for graduates who have achieved a 2:1 and have an A-level in either biology or chemistry, is this a viable option? Can anyone recommend any other opportunities for an application to other institutions offering a foundation/prelim year? I'm concerned that if I was to apply for a straight 5 year Vet med course I would be far more likely to be rejected given my lack of A-level chemistry, Maths or Physics!
At the moment I am considering applying this year for entry in September/October 2012 as I presume this is when courses start as mine did back in 2009 (makes me feel old). Would I have to go through UCAS again and would that mean contacting my previous school, or am I able to do it individually?
Thanks for your time and apologies for the long message!
Harry
