2010 applicants....APPLICATIONS, INTERVIEWS, OFFERS [Mark 2]

I've not, but I got my rats from breeders - wayyy less chance of mycoplasmosis if you get your rats from a breeder rather than a pet shop etc.

My dog.

>.< So cute!

Hows your application going?

Not good Edinburgh and Glasgow declined me after interview. But I have been told that if I had been older then my applications would have had a greater chance of being successful, so there is hope. I am going to apply next year.

What about you?

Really? Makes sense I suppose - I really want ratties again so that is probably the way to go. Where do you find rat breeders, do you know?? Have you had them before the two you have now? Although I have a problem about getting rats (see attach )

Oh yeah sorry should have checked first lol Well done! I am seventeen, but my birthday is on the 28th of February so I wouldn't be eighteen until most of the way through my first year - apparently that's bad.

I think if my app. had been stronger they might have overlooked it, but I didn't have as much experience as some: I know they do take on people born at a similar time as me. x

That sucks. . At least you'll be better prepared next year . Just pack in the work experience.

Wow, well that's strange. I was 17 until February 7th this year, so I'm only a few weeks older than you. My age was never really mentioned at all, and I'm here at Ed. That sucks, but I've never heard of age being a factor before (apart from at Bristol, where one of my friends got rejected for physics because she was too young).
