Hi everyone,
Thought I'd introduce myself too! I'm so happy to see that there are so many other people wanting to apply at graduate level like me and finding themselves in the same position!
I'm in my first year of Uni studying Zoology, and I although I enjoy the course I know it's veterinary where my true passion lies. I've wanted to be a vet my whole life but due to low AS grades I changed my mind about a week before applying to UCAS through self-doubt and went for Zoology since they asked for lower grades.
I left Sixth Form last year with ABB in Biology, Chemistry and English Language respectively, and I know there grades aren't quite high enough for most of the vet unis but I hoped a decent degree grade (general consensus seems to be a 2.1) might mean I could apply successfully as a graduate.
I have fair bit of work experience behind me but know I need as much as possible if I have any hope in standing out, I'm even considering visiting an abbatoir which I know I would hate!!
There seems to be a lot of panic about graduate fees, I'm obviously a little slow on the uptake but how bad are they likely to be?!
Anyone that can talk to me about how they're getting on with graduate application, work experience or advice on what the unis are like to study at would be massively appreciated!
(not that I'd be fussy about which uni I want to go to- I'd feel priviledged to be accepted anywhere!)
