International Veterinary Medicine 2015 hopefuls!

Hii! I'm applying from malaysia :biggrin:

I've applied to cambridge, bristol, rvc and edinburgh. And I've got a cambridge interview coming up on the 26th this month. I haven't really got much diversity in regards to my WE though, only managed to work with horses, small animals and some farm animals. Started competing in the equine industry since I was 9.
There are very few seats for international applicants but very few applicant as well :biggrin:

Wow! Congrats! I wasn't confident about Cambridge and RVC said I can't apply directly after my 12th grade. :frown:

That's pretty impressive! I've only had real work experiance the last two months. It took me ages to find a clinic!

Hey!
Although I have a UK passport, I'm applying from Switzerland and have never lived in the UK, so not really sure if I count as international. I'm hoping for fees I won't!
I've applied to Cambridge, Surrey, Edinburgh and Nottingham.
I'm really worried about my work experience, didn't manage to get much and hardly anything on the animal husbandry side of things.

Ay another cambridge applicant! Which college are you applying to? Since you have a uk passport I don't think you will be considered as an international applicant as it only applies to those without a uk passport :frown:

Clare, what about you?
Yeah I'm pretty sure I'll get home fees, Edinburghs already told me I could as a EU/EEA student, which is great but means I don't get maintenence fee loans. Still means I'm in a lot better position then all my friends that count as international :/

UK passport right, not visa? You should get home fee then. Were you born there? I have a friend who has a UK passport and was born there and I'm pretty sure she's getting home fee.

I've applied to Cambridge, Surrey, Edinburgh and Nottingham.

I see a lot of people applying to Surrey but I hadn't heard of it before coming onto these forums. It isn't there in a lot of table either, it's supposed to be good huh?

This is wrong, I'm afraid you need to be resident in the UK for 3 years. However if you are resident in the EU then you will pay the same fees as UK students.

It's oversubscribed with home students, internationals are slightly different.

Maybe I'm wrong. But her father is living there so it's possible that it somehow works out. Either way, each case is different so it's best to try yourself.

Yes it is! A lot of people that apply to Clare get pooled to other colleges. I almost applied to Girton becasue of that, but Clare stole my heart :tongue:

Good luck!!!

Not exactly, if you are a UK citizen and have lived in the EU/EEA or Switzerland for the 3 years you count as home. If you're an EU citizen then you get home fees but you can't get maintenence loans.

Yep, I have the passport, and was born there, but have never lived there and my family doesn't own a house there. I think it really depends on each individual case so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed!

They reason you hadn't heard of it is probably because it's new! It took it's first intake this year, and next year will be its first full intake as they're only finished building the vet school this year! I basically applied there because of the low WE requirements - only 4 weeks!
