Been acknowledged by Edinburgh, Glasgow and Liverpool now :smile:

Maybe Nottingham wait until after the October 15th deadline? Or they could be sending something out in the post.

Good luck guys! Notts and RVC send you postcards to acknowledge your application and then you have to do the Notts online questionnaire. RVC is notoriously slow for everything - although they start interviewing in Nov/Dec most are in Feb/March - and you won't usually hear from Notts about interviews till January so don't worry yet!

Got my acknowledgement from Bristol yesterday :smile:

I've also looked at how they sort through their vet school applications, a link to a document explaining how they do it was included in the email i got from them (if that makes any sense lol)

Basically, they have said that AS grades won't be factored into their decision to interview if the subject is being carried on to A2. Which is great news for me as I only got a B in chemistry last year!

Birmingham send out their interview invitations really really early. I know someone who had a Birmingham interview for Medicine in the October half term.

My applications been sent off yay! My tutor attached by reference so all sorted now :smile:

Glasgow, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Bristol ♥ So what happens now, i just wait for information back from the unis? Do I have to do anything in the meantime. I know Edinburgh have a questionnaire I need to do. Do I do that now? Is the deadline for that 1st November? What about my other unis?

Just got my confirmation email from Edinburgh as well! :biggrin:

So exciting. Can't believe they finally have my application...

What's the deal with EUCLID? Do we have to track our application on there instead of UCAS? Do the other vet schools have systems like this (which I haven't heard about) or is it just Edinburgh?

I think EUCLID is in addition to UCAS. I would have thought that any decision made will be posted in EUCLID and on our UCAS Track. Not sure if Edinburgh is the only one to do this though.

Oh right - is that the VIP page? It was sent to me yesterday in the acknowledgement.

is that what the bristol vip page is for? i thought it was just an area that contained a lot of information about interviews, etc so we wouldn't have to trawl through the bristol uni website to find it all D:

It's pretty immense tbh! You guys will LOVE it. Don't think you can appreciate the workload until you are here though and we are only lowly first years!!

Thread should go nuts soon then :smile:

yey! You've applied to the same unis as me! :biggrin:

I think you're right about the edinburgh questionnaire, that should be filled out in the next couple of weeks and submitted to them by 1st nov.

now the unis have our applications, checking my emails has just got a whole lot scarier! :afraid:
