2021 Veterinary Medicine Applicants

Hey! It’s because Aberystwyth is hosting the programme alongside the RVC, they’re delivering the course together: first 2 years in Wales then the last 3 in Hawkshead. Hope that helps

Yeah, rejection from notts, and interview for Bristol 😬, which is like unbelievable to me because it’s my 3rd application and my first ever interview so I’m so excited! Such an amazing Christmas present 🎁 how are you feeling about the whole process?

Their prospectus says 25 places between the gateway and preliminary courses.

Anyone else still waiting on Surrey?

Hi can anyone enlighten me a bit more on student finance. I know you get a maintenance loan based on parents income, mind mine will be hardly anything even though my parents aren’t really able to support me as much as the government assume they can. I’m worried about how I’m going to be able to afford vet school and all the work experience placements/ equipment needed as I’ve been unable to work since March as my shop had to shut and since then don’t have enough money to keep me on. I’ve managed to keep on tutoring GCSE students so have earned some money from that and plan to keep doing so and look for other jobs after exams finish. But even with saving all my money for the past few years it’s not going to cover the 5-6 years at vet school and I really am against getting into debt.
I know it seems to be a bit early to be stressing as I still need to get AAA come August, but I am genuinely worried !!

Hi, alongside the maintenance loan (which is dependent on parents income, think the minimum is around 4,000 a year) You also can get a tuition fee loan which goes directly to the uni, and pays for the 9,250 and it isn't dependent on parents income so anyone doing their 1st degree can get one! I was always told not to look at student debt as actual debt as it will get you where you want to go and you don't really notice when your paying it off later in life. hope this helps, good luck with your application and grades!!

Also the equipment so far hasn't been too expensive, I'm a first year at Liverpool and all they wanted us to buy has been overalls, waterproof and wellies for the practicals, they told us not to buy any textbooks at all as most are available through the library/online but this may be different for the different vet schools. EMS is the expensive bit but there are many ways of working it to be as cheap as possible and also some EMS placements will pay you !

Me (from same interview)

Is anyone not had an offer/interview/rejection?2 rejections, 1 on hold and 1 no reply yet here. ☹️

I'm still waiting to hear from one as well, and I'm wondering if I'd be better accepting an offer and getting accomodation sorted out now, rather than waiting to see if I get an interview from my last choice.
