2018 Veterinary applicants

Guys also I kind of have this weird feeling that my RVC interview got really tanked.. Feel like I did awfully, and now I feel like I'm waiting for a rejection letter to come in rather than waiting for a decision. Has anyone else had this feeling? I know it's hard to tell how an MMI went, but sometimes your gut really sings to you...

Yep i felt like that after my cambridge interview, good thing is it made getting the rejection feel more like a weight off my shoulders than a disappointment :tongue:

I felt like this after my Surrey interview - I was pretty convinced that I was going to get that rejection pop up any day, especially when I heard people had been given offers in the days following the interview. I finished my interview, got into my car to drive home - and burst into tears, convinced that I had screwed up on every station. I completely wrote it off as even being an option for me anymore, which made me even more miserable as I'd found that I liked the campus even more when we looked around on the interview day. I moved on and decided not to think about it anymore. About 1.5 months later, at the start of January, I received a track update.. to inform me I'd been offered a place by Surrey. I have never been so shocked or relieved in my life. So - the moral to the story is that you never really know how you got on, it's probably true what they say about you being a poor judge of your own performance at interview and to never give up hope. Best of luck :smile:

This is so sweet! Thank you for sharing your story, it's made me way way WAY less scared of the dreaded UCAS track e-mails. Congrats on your offer btw :smile:

I'll definitely keep my head up <3

I believe these were rejections as a result of not filling out the WEPAPA in time (because they had missed it in their email inbox). I may be wrong though...

Hi, have you received the Work Experience, Personal & Professional Attributes form (WEPAPA) from Bristol at all?? That's the next stage after they've scored you on your GCSE/predicted grades.

I can't comment on Edinburgh as I haven't applied there but I did receive the WEPAPA form only on 21st Dec and submitted it back to them 2nd Jan. Haven't heard anything else as yet.

Good luck with your Nottingham interview though :smile:

I received an invitation for an interview at Edinburgh in December and had the email from Bristol saying they were still considering late November but heard nothing else.
