2014 Veterinary Medicine Hopefuls!

Wow! That's really cool! Sounds so exotic! What kind of farm work have you done? And what sort of thing do you do when you volunteer at the local zoo? I know the head vet at longleat so he's going to try and get me in up there for a week! It's so difficult to get that kind of experience!

It's more meercats, penguins etc! and I feed them, and clean there areas. I learn a lot about eating habits which Is always good! and wow that would be amazing!
are you thinking of going vet medlink this december?

That's Fantastic thanks! Yeah, double science I got A* in both, english all As and maths got an A (only one mark from an A*, gutted!)

We're lucky to have a few riding stables around here so I'll enquire there. Just had a look and there are a few labs around about an hour and a half away, so I'll send some letters around.

I have applied to take the AQA Bacculeareate at school which incorporates the EPQ so will start that next year.

Edinburgh is actually one of the universities I am most interested in at the moment but I'm going to keep my options open for all of them! I'll probably end up loving one of the other universities that I'm not as interested in when it comes to open days!

Also, is anyone going to Vet-Medlink on the 18th-22nd December in Nottingham? And Vetquest 16th March?

I'm goibg vet medlink at nottingham 18-22 are you? :smile:

I have to agree, nottingham is brilliant. Only been here a month and we've already learnt how to do a full clinical examination and we've had loads of contact already with animals. You won't get that this early on at any other vet school :smile:

Peter you need to spend less time on here...

I found this interesting page on the Cambridge Vet School website about people's preconceptions of Cambridge. Might be an interesting read for those of you thinking of applying but not sure if it's for you. Personally I think Cambridge is an excellent vet school but I would also make sure to attend the open day and get a feel for the place.

Is anybody here considering doing an EPQ related to veterinary? I am, but I hope it's not just me that's stuck for ideas when it comes to 'thinking of something original'? forever lacking imagination *sad face* :frown:

Anyone here going to the VetQuest 2013 at Bristol? :biggrin:

I'm thinking about it...

Of course Edinburgh is the best! My fav uni, I wish I could go there. Ironically it's the only one that I can't apply to, as I don't meet the requirements. Oh well :frown:

Is there anything you have seen or are really interested in the vet world? To be honest, even if you don't do one related to vet med, the skills your learnt doing the EPQ is well worth the mention in your PS.

I seriously wouldn't bother with the extended project at all. You won't have finished it by the time you have your interviews and you won't have time to talk about it in your interview either. Spend the time making sure you get your 3 As at A-Level and getting more work experience!

I don't know anyone in my year that did the extended project, and we all got in :smile:

I'm thinking about it. My head teacher just kinda sprung it on me as I was walking out of school today, so I barely know what you have to do for it :colondollar:
