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

i don't think i should wait, because what happens if i end up with 3 unconditionals lol!? i'll still be sitting here in may with no decision made. plus if the gut feeling i had at my interview was that i didn't like it, then i should probably stick with that.

Is glasgow AVMA accredited? I know london and edinburgh are..

Avian Vet FTW!!! I bet I am the only one on here with that aspiration. However I am very aware that over the vetmed course my opinion will change. To be honest, I could see myself doing equine, LA, SA and other areas of exotics too. Though birds will always have a special place in my heart!!!

Only a few days away and it takes ages to catch up.

Had an email from Liverpool inviting me for interview even though I have withdrawn my application replied to tell them I withdrew my application.



I would like to be an avian vet too, only my experience is with wildfowl, mainly hand rearing rare species and catching birds. I only know of one vet who specializes in birds, and when I asked about birds in my Glasgow interview they said that more people are keeping chickens now so birds are becoming more common in small animal practice. (The interviewers at Bristol looked at me like I was mad ).

Ahah. Yeah I had to inform glasgow by email and by UCAS, got an interview there but withdrew.

Hey guys, again referring to liverpool: Anyone got offers or went to the interview without having the appropriate references?! I'm missing a small animal one and a vet one, and not much time to get my hands on them. ARghh.

I was in scotland for my schooling.
I got A,A,A,A,B intermediate twos (which are higher than GCSE's but a bit under AS levels) and 1,1,1 for the standard grades I took (which are about the same level as GCSE's i think)
And then A,A,B,C,C for my Highers, and A,B,B for my advanced highers which are slightly higher than A levels. Lol.

But I was a bit immature leaving school, I hadn't got the work experience and wasnt trying hard enough. I didnt apply as a school leaver and it was only coming into the biovet course I realised how much i actually wanted it and got my act together! The RVC interview was my first vetmed interview ever, hah. Apparently the RVC don't take bmat, or the rest of your application into consideration after interview unless they have two prospective students that did exactly the same etc at interview and they are having a hard time choosing. That's what we got told..
Yer I was shocked at my BMAT score, i actually didnt look for two days as I was so sure it went badly! You can never tell how you did with bmat..

How about you, did you apply as a school leaver?

heyy just checking for the bristol questionaire, did people just print off extra sheets? and in the column where it says farm etc do you put the name of the farm?

I put the name of the place below the heading farm etc.

I didn't find the need to print off extra sheets. I had created my own version of the table though which I think worked a lot better than theirs, but just sent off theirs in the end anyway. My work experience is quite clear on my personal statement anyway.

thankyouu

and do we take our references to bristol?

What references do we need to take to Bristol? All 1,000,000 of them?

I was thinking to day about my Liverpool interview and how I reallllyyy loved it it was really good fun! I might take up speed dating as a hobby

i only had two lol
