Official Veterinary Medicine Applicants thread 2024 entry

Without having checked the RVC website it seems good to me. I👍🏻

Thankyou for your help! The specific farmer was willing to sign my reference forms, but doesn't have a company stamp, so I'll ask him to email my universities when the time comes

Hi! I'm actually currently in year 13 undergoing the application process rn but I've applied for 2024 entry at 3/4 of my unis and will withdraw from the uni that won't let me defer---however I want to see if I'll be offered an interview and I'll go to it for the experience (and if I get an offer for foundation but not the 5 year I might consider not taking a gap year) so I can decide if I want to include them when applying again if I don't get in. I wasn't originally planning on applying until next year but was told I would regret it and am so glad that I have bc I've grown tremedously from the experience!!
Currently studying A levels- bio, chem, psych
And I've applied to RVC (interview), Bristol (Hold), Nottingham (interview) and Uclan (acknowledged),, if theres anyone in my position pls let me know bc I couldn't find anyone on the thread for my year whos defering and taking a gap year!! If I end up reapplying I'll be right back on this thread next year

Just wanted to pop on as the new cycle begins soon that if anyone has any questions regarding applying/reapplying, access courses, interviews etc my dms are open. Any Bristol specific questions I’ll also do my best to answer alongside @Euapp, I move Friday and so will be brutally honest on my adjustment to vet school 😁
Best of luck to everyone applying this year.

Hi have you already submitted your UCAS application then? I'm year 13 and am submitting it this week. I had no clue you could hear back about if you got an interview already when most people haven't even put in their application yet.

Hi guys! I know it's a quiet time as applications are still a little while away, but I have decided to start a 'grow your grades' blog for my third year as a Liverpool vet student to help keep me motivated but have also added a lot of my common advice I give out here on the first post which may be useful to have a read of. The link is here. If you don't know me, I'm Ramble and I do help a lot on the vet forum so I'm sure you'll see me posting around if anyone has any relevant questions on here, and if you want to ask me anything feel free to tag or PM me

I'm just finalising my UCAS application today. I've picked 4 vet med courses and wanted to choose vet physio as my 5th but not sure if that's allowed as I know there's a limit on how many vet courses you can pick. Does anyone know if my options will be OK?

Hi, I'm Courtney and I'm in Year 13 (equivalent to Year 11 in England I think). I'm from Northern Ireland.
I'd like to do veterinary medicine as well as going on to be a surgeon too.
I'd like to apply to Edinburgh or Glasgow
I'm currently studying Biology, Chemistry, English Literature and Psychology
I received 4 A's in Maths, Biology, Geography and English Language; 6 B's in R.E., Chemistry, Furthermaths, Physics, English Literature, Agriculture and land use,

Is there any graduate students on here applying for GAB or 5 year undergrad?

Hi, I’m a mum of a standard Y13 applicant who is starting at Nottingham next week.
She’s just an average student who went through the traditional application process and received 2 offers, was put on hold by her 3rd university and then rejected by the 4th choice. She’s dyslexic but other than that sat 3 A levels, biology, chemistry and English lit. So pretty standard stuff but it’s not often that you hear of ‘normal’ A level to vet med journeys on the chat. We were very methodical about the process (which was the only way we stayed sane and calm 😂)
I suppose what I’m saying is that if any parents want any help through the process just message me. I’m happy to chat through what worked for us.. I know it helped me immensely to speak to other parents who had just had successful Y13 applicants.. just to understand how the process went and how we tackled every stage.
I’m definitely NOT an expert by any means but I’m a good listener! And it’s a stressful time which I feel incredibly grateful that we don’t have to repeat 🥹
