Why has this thread turned into a "slag off Cambridge" fest? 
I really don't think you should right off a whole university based on hearsay and stereotypes. I went to a bog-standard state school where there are very few oxbridge applicants each year, I am neither "snooty" nor acamdemically competitive and I love Cambridge!
True Cambridge is not for everyone but please don't be put off by other peoples uninformed oppinions, check it out for yourself and then make a decision!

Fairy Princess does have a good point, same goes for Notts! Personally I wouldnt like Cambridge but I did my research and the course structure wouldnt suit me and Im not a fan of the colleges but I do have things to base my opinions on, and they are only opinions! Cambridge is a great vet school, in fact any in the UK are.
So is there only one Cambridge college that does vet or more than one?

Oh, cool 
You were working as a vet nurse at first, right? But now you want to train to be a vet?
If I can ask, did you ever consider being a vet (i.e. not a vet nurse) in the past? You're rather a lot like me.

I did languages in school, my parents wanted me to have a career with languages. I used to occasionally dream of being a vet but seriously didn't think I was clever enough so didn't pursue it.
It was only after I started working as a nurse that I really decided to go for it. I eventually confided to one of our vets that I wanted to be a vet too, and I was amazed by the response - everyone was so supportive and really believed I could do it! And I decided I couldn't live my life knowing I'd not even tried - so here I am, studying til my brains explode!

Wow, I'm almost the exact same as you.
Where are you studying vet med now then? Notts by any chance?

I haven't applied yet, lol! But like I said, I can't really apply anywhere 'down south' because I've got ties to the north and commitments etc. I'll be applying to Notts and Liverpool I should think.
What's your situation then City Chic?

What GCSE's did you get snow? Id like to see what you consider so bad!
I got 4A's and 7B's. Although its not to bad, it just not up to vet med standard. Also i did not do maths or physics for as levels, so that took me out for some unis. Places like RVC ask for minimum 5 A's. So basically.. im out of it all.
Thats not THAT bad. I mean Im applying to Vet science and I was told 6B 4A's I got and 2 sciences are still accepted! Liverpool are quite nice in that respect
