Veterinary Medicine 2015 hopefuls!

Oh, I assumed the EPQ was available across Britain but having looked it up perhaps not, sorry. Either way, that baccalaureate thing sounds worth a go. Anything to show your interest in vet medicine, really.

No vet schools ask for the UKCAT, but Cambridge and the RVC ask for the BMAT. I believe registration for the BMAT opens in September and you sit the exam in November.

Is anyone applying/ applied to Scottish universities (Edinburgh and Scotland) who lives in England? For my fourth choice, I am thinking of Scotland but not sure about costs (£27000ish yearly compared to £9000), travelling (from the south) and style (not the best choice of word but Ive heard that the majority of students are Scottish and live at home, is this true?) Cheers

The 27,000GBP is for international (outside UK) and/or graduate (previous degree) students.

I'm pretty sure that English students 'only' pay £9000? Scottish students don't have to pay tuition fees, English (and presumably Welsh and N.Irish) students pay £9000, then the international fees apply to everyone else.

Is anyone considering Dublin? It doesnt seem to be talked about a lot on here.

Yes i was but tou have to have a GCSE in another language other than english which i don't and the Alevel grades are much higher.

Has anybody signed up for nottingham open day on Friday?
i have but haven't received the extra veterinary booklet that the general booklet and letter suggested i would receive and have no idea what i am supposed to be doing or when?

This happened to me last year. I just rang them and asked them to send me one everything is very well planned out anyway so if you don't get the booklet in time I wouldn't worry. It is such a good open day I hope you enjoy!

Thanks
i tried emailing, will give them a call tommorow!

Hey!
was just wondering whether you rang them or not and if so what they said?I'm meant to be going tomorrow but also haven't received the extra booklet!

It's dead quiet in here What are people up to this summer?

I'm doing a five week small animal placement and a 1 week diagnostic lab placement this summer I've also passed my 3rd year exams so this is a super happy day for me.

What are you up to?

Congratulations on passing your exams! You're over half way there now so this is the home stretch! Sounds as if your summer will be interesting too

As for me, I'm having a more relaxed summer . I'm helping out at a local festival thing on Saturday and then the week after that I'm going camping. I had a few placements booked but some fifth year students phoned up the practices wanting the same dates as I was already down for, so I gave em' up because they'll be a whole lot more useful to them than they ever would have been to me . I'm still going to the RVC for a week and I have a short thing at an animal shelter that's been booked for about two years , but other than that I'm gonna rest this summer I think

Out of curiosity, is the week at the RVC the 21st July to the 25th July? I'm also going to the RVC for a week and was just wondering if it's the same week.

Nope, sorry. I don't think they let two people come at once.
