Hi all,
As the title summises, I have applied for 2011 entry Vetmed at Cambridge, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Liverpool. I was rejected by all point-blank except for Liverpool who first rejected me on grounds of not enough work experience, then called me to interview after I sent them an email detailing a long standing problem with my knee, suffice to say that it stopped me doing some more physical work exp [Farm labour and large animal husbandry etc etc.] But was then rejected afterwards.
However I do have a conditional offer from Glasgow for biovet, ABB, with A in Chemistry, and may or may not receive an offer from Liverpool for biovet, BBB.
I am someone who is really set on becoming a vet, the Anatomy and Physiology side of it being of real interest to me. And I was wondering, in a biovet course, how much anatomy do you learn, and do you do dissections?
Also, a lot of people have talked about doing biovet to do vetmed postgrad, but how would it be feasible if postgrad fees are extortionately expensive? And is there any company that would offer lower fees or university that does reduced fees for vetmed postgrad?
And what sort of chances do I have if I take a year out to acheive more experience and, grades permitting, re-apply next year.
Also also, what sort of career prospects do biovet have? would say, working for a big pharmaceutical company be viable and would they pay for my student fees or for me to do vetmed postgrad?
A lot of questions, and I may add more.
Thanks,
Stuart Jackson
