2021 Veterinary Medicine Applicants

Can I ask what your grades were?

Thank you!

Tried on phone - no places.
Can’t find the form.

Hi did they tell you on the phone that the April cohorts is full? The clearing form can me found on the Nottingham website if you just search Nottingham university clearing and adjustment

I feel like Nottingham admissions process is horrendous. From them giving me a physically unachievable offer (they knew this because they had my transcripts and it was physically impossible for me to reach the grade they wanted) and also not being offered a contextual offer, even though I meet the criteria. And then to getting no communication (including nothing about open days or accommodation for prospect students) or even a request for my grades. They also didn't bother sending me a health questionnaire or letting me know they received my results. It's just been completely unprofessional and I feel like they knew from the start that they didn't want me as a student there. I just don't know why they bothered putting me through all the stress. It's a complete joke.

Hi! We’re you given an offer over AAA? If so that seems strange as there standard offer is AAB. And they are unlikely to lower this. I also don’t know anyone who got a contextual offer for nottingham in my year but there might be a few. I don’t think it’s that common for vet med. I only received the health questionnaire after I got my grades and got a place. That’s just how they do it. I can’t remember when I got my accomodation form but I feel like it might have been after I got my offer as well. I’m April cohort so it might be slightly different. I don’t think they did any open days this year either due to coronavirus. I am so sorry that you are disappointed and I know how devestating it is to not get the grades needed.

Don’t give up. Reapply next year or try to get onto a foundation course. Best of luck!

What would you suggest as a foundation course as there are none for vet med?

So I got a 2:1 at degree level so was applicable for the BB entrance requirements. And there is something about contextual offers online. I live in quite a poor area so this should have been considered. And this year everyone received the health questionnaire early (like 3-4 weeks ago). I had to chase them up and apparently they'd missed me off the mailing list (which is likely because they'd already decided they didn't want me- it would be interesting to know if other people who had that happen to them also got rejected). And they did actually have an open day. I didn't receive an email about it but just happened to check their website one day and see it.

I have actually got a place at another university but its not my first choice and it doesn't compare to the standard of Nottingham by far. But at least they've been more clear with their communication, sent me a reasonable offer and actually seem like they want me there.

Nottingham do one
