Hi, I'm fairly new to tsr and but I have been on the website before and when I saw this thread just thought it would be a good way to get to know other people who want to go into vet med. I'm only in 4th year and this summer hols is probably the time to get some work experience under my belt. My dream is to be a wildlife/conservation vet, what about everyone else?
Hey! Nice to meet you, I am a Scottish applicant like you as well I take it you are doing your National 5's this year?
You've got plenty of time to complete your work experience so this summer sounds like a great time to start and the key is to get a good range of placements. There is a thread that may be of more use to you: the '2017 vet hopefuls' thread, as it contains people that will be in the same potential cohort as yourself! (Not to say that you can't stay here of course)
Personally, I quite like the look of the farm animal aspect of veterinary medicine at present

Yeah this year I'm doing my national 5s. Thanks for the redirection of the other thread, I'll definitely look into it! I've got lots of places I can go for work experience so that's not really a problem. Are you a student at uni then?
Welcome to TSR . I'm afraid I'm a little unfamiliar with the Scottish system, am I right in thinking that 4th year is the year you do your Standards? If so there's still plenty of time, and as you say summer is a great time to get some experience
Personally I'm quite into exotic animals, they're what I want to work with
The Scottish exam system recently changed so now I'm doing national 5s. Just wanted to say thanks for the warm welcome and good luck to everyone who's applying to vet school this year or sitting exams!

How are they going for you so far? Best of luck with them anyway! No problem! No I'm in 6th year, currently applying for uni
Thank you, they're going fine, got prelims coming up in a couple of weeks, really need to get revising but I'll get it done, still got time haha! Are you doing advanced highers then? I'm taking one higher this year (French) to compensate for next year because French and physics clash on the timetable. What do you think about crashing higher physics-that's my plan, teacher's say it's hard but definitely possible, I would ideally want an A. What uni's are you applying for? Obviously still a while off for me but I would like to go to either Edinburgh or Glasgow!
Didn't want to go through the whole forum, but it seems that the RVC gave out one batch of offers on the 31st of Jan last year, followed by a second batch two weeks later on the 13th of Feb. There must be another load given out after that, but those are the dates that I picked up for the first few rounds.
If I recall correctly it took me a few weeks to hear back from them with an offer. You'll definitely know by the end of March from all the unis. No news is good news at the minute. Good luck

I was looking up the same thing last night funnily enough. Last year the 31st was a Friday, so I reckon people will start to hear back before the week is up
Messed up my dosage calculations for rvc. What are my chances now?
That one score will be included with all the others from the day - practical tests and your interview - to calculate your final score. The decision wont be made on that test alone.
