Writing my personal statement is definitely not something I'm looking forward to! I won't have to do it for another year, but already I'm freaking out over it.

Do you think the vet schools I apply to will look unfavourably on me 'cos I haven't "wanted to be a vet all my life"?

:frown:

nooooooo... definitely not - I didn't want to be a vet until the end of year 10 when we had to do some compulsory work experience - i had no idea whatsoever what i wanted to do... decided that working at a vets for a week might be quite interesting - and I absolutely loved it! After that I researched it a bit more got some more work experience and loved this too... so it wasn't really until half way through year 11 that I decided - I even said this in my interviews (didn't write the whole waffle in my personal statement as there's not much point really) and it didn't stop me getting offers.

In my personal statement i went on about loving biochemistry (as was applying to one vet uni and rest for biochem) and at the interview, the intervier said she LOVED it because most vet students put the typical "i love animals, and always wanted to be a vet etc. hehe

Where -did- I put my personal statement :s ? If/when I find it (surely it's still on UCAS somewhere...and I know it's stored on here somewhere...) then I'll give you a kind of outline as to what I put...the nightmare is actually fitting half of what you want to put in.
