Hah!

No, I didn't; which is why I'm so happy this year :p:

Last year I was rejected without interview by all four. So I have no clue I'm afraid!

I've just been told to know the ins and outs of your personal statement, as they base most questions on that; get yourself up to date with a few current affairs; work out what you've learnt from work exp, the insight into the career it's given you, plus examples - and also some interesting cases/cases you can waffle on for about, with some biology or something in there; be willing to talk about yourself/hobbies for a bit; and always have at least one question to ask!

Hmmm, what to wear... :wink:

I didnt get an interview last year either from Bristol! But I did from notts and got rejected :o:

they sent feedback and basically said there were too many people! Getting into Bristol will be my dream come true!

Oh I have the same problem about what to wear! Can't afford a new outfit, working too much for free these days :p:

Hopefully my nan will fund it :rolleyes:

I'm sooooooooooo excited :biggrin:

Aww well done emily!
I only got an interview from RVC last year. Bristol gave me the "were not sure what were doing with you" letter last year. But so far I've receieved nothing other than an acknowledgment. So fingers crossed. I reckon I may cry if I get a bristol interview. Haha

Hehe I was such an odd one out at my RVC interview with my dress. I had like slightly grey skinny jeans with brown boots and a brown v neck over a white blouse. I did look very different to all the girls in their black suits. But thats what I wanted. I wanted to look smart, but still have my personality. I wore a horseshoe necklace, my animal charm bracelet and I looked like a right animal freak. haha. Ahh well! Thats what I am, so why hide it eh? lol

Thanks Emikoo; I'll be imitating your finger crossing, for you and me, and everyone else! And Bumbleboy - I've been jumping around my house most of the afternoon, that's how tops it is :p:

I'm on edge still though, waiting for you guys to hear stuff!

Reply 91

Well I know im not going to hear from Bristol until late January, its good to have an idea or dates it helps with the wait.
I'm expecting Notts to reject me soon and then it will be all about Bristol!

Emikoo

yeah stay positive!
You never know what may happen.

I just went on RVC's website and it says that this year they want you to include a detailed work experience list in your application. Like "I worked on a farm from setp06 to jan 07" or something. O.o I just did what I did last year. I didn't include any lengths of time I just listed where I have worked. Do you think i should email them my work experience profile???

Wahaay! That's great news about the interview, well done you! :biggrin:

Reply 95

I have gone from been very positive about my application to very negative actually!

However there is a reason for my negative notts vibe, when I contacted them earlier in the year to ask for feedback on last years application, they told me it wasnt worth giving me any as they had considered my application twice and they dont allow more than two applications per person.

I still applied as there's nothing to lose but I know what the outcome will be!

I've applied to notts after being rejected after interview last year! :rolleyes:

You never know, at least they know you're determined enough to have applied 3 times!!

Reply 97

I did get an interview in my first application and was put on the waiting list for places!
So they liked me then, last year nothing!

Ignore what they said/did, Bumbleboy. There's always a chance, no matter how small.
To be honest Nottingham don't stick to what they say anyway, I reckon. Otherwise when I rang up on results day with that chem at a B, they would have said no outright. If your application shines and sets you up to be a good applicant they'll want to interview you, regardless of their usual policy - because they won't want to let a potentially great student slip away to one of the other vet schools.

Just hang in there :smile:

And thanks, CJC :smile:
