Is Biology, Chemistry & Physics at higher along with Maths and English possible? I LOVE science and the Social Subjects/Modern Languages are my weakest subjects by FAR.
•
To anyone that's been accepted into VetMed at uni, what work experience did you do and how much of it? I'm a bit lost at what to do, when to start, how to find it, etc, although I've started sending off letters and such already.
•
What extra-curricular things should I be doing? I really, really want in and always have - it really matters to me that I can do something really important that I have a passion for with my life. I think that saving the life/ending the suffering of someone's best friend and companion is one of the most incredible roles, and I know the vet schools look for well-rounded and balanced people - what things should I be doing to achieve this?
•
Glasgow or Edinburgh University? Should I consider applying to English University's too when the time comes? At present we can't afford the fees - around nine grand a year, are they not? Will this have a massive impact on my acceptance chances or would it be not too catastrophic?
•
Do you guys as students/prospective students/whatever and whoever you are prefer Edinburgh or Glasgow? Next year I'll be going to open days and the like, but just to get a rough idea, what are people on here generally liking the look of? Are the interview systems vastly different? Are the teaching styles/methods any different? What are each like as far as being a student in the city? I live in Glasgow, but obviously not as a student so I really have no way of telling which is the better city to study at.
•
What can I expect to be asked at interview? I know it's years away but I'm very keen to hear of what I can (hopefully) expect to be asked one day. I find the whole process interesting in itself anyway - any stories are very welcome
•
Last, but not least, is it too early to start working now? The work experience I have done has been typed up on a file and also written in a notebook as a back-up, but does it still count if you're 15 when you do it, or is there an age baseline? Should I bring this file to the interview (if I get one)? I found the Edinburgh websites a bit confusing to navigate, and Glasgow's especially told me very little from what I could understand of the links.
