No worries at all!
In terms of making your application stand out, they like to see good grades, a strong NSAA score and discussions on your personal statement about the sciency part of vet med, particularly if you’ve seen a case on your work experience and decided to research further into it. They expect that anything you’ve put on your personal statement you have really looked into and understand a lot so be prepared to be grilled on any further reading and don’t put things down that you’re not 100% on! For the actual interview, I’d say the most important thing is making sure that your bio and chem knowledge is really sharp, in my experience they would start off a question that I’d know from my a level content and then go a bit deeper so I’d have to apply different concepts. If they ask you about something that you don’t know the answer to, it’s worth saying something along the lines of “I’m not sure of the exact answer but I know xyz so maybe it could apply” and just have a go- they’re not looking for someone who knows everything, they’re looking for someone with a lot of potential.
The course has been great fun and I’m very glad I ended up here! There’s been lots of great opportunities and the staff are really supportive and happy to explain everything. It’s been quite intense and I have struggled with the workload but once you get past second year it eases up and you’re doing more clinical things so it feels a lot more manageable. I’m currently intercalating in zoology and absolutely loving it- as much as I enjoy vetmed, it’s nice to have a break and explore different things and the zoology course equips you really well if you’re interested in exotic animal medicine. I’ve found I can still have a good social life on top of the workload, I do a lot of theatre tech work and have really enjoyed doing that on the side. You might hear a few rumours about the vet course here like that you don’t touch an animal for the first few years, you have too much work to have a life and that all Cambridge vets come out with no practical skills but I can honestly say that it’s not true and if you like the sound of the course and have done your research then you’ll enjoy it!
