Hello!

Unfortunately, I didn't get the grades for the Veterinary Medicine course so I applied for the Bioveterinary Sciences course.
I'm currently studying Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics with predicted AAB.

I'm excited to meet you all when ( :wink:

) we get in!

Hello!

Ive applied for both the D100 and D190 Vetmed & Gateway courses;

I'm studying Chem, Bio and History A levels,
predicted grades of AAA despite only attaining BCC last year in AS due to extenuating circumstances :redface:

In terms of work experience I had 238.5 hrs as of the D100 deadline, and will have 246.5 hrs by the time I send my D190 form next week :wink:

I hope I have enough for the D100; though id be happy with entry into either course!

Good luck everyone, I hope to meet some of you next semester! :biggrin:

Had he read the day one competences document ( It was about 60 pages long but I think they provide a more succinct copy now) ?All the ethical issues on which the questions are based are addressed in the document. As for Bristol they are known for taking their time although they have been a bit quicker this year than in the past two or three. Most offers are normally given at the end of December/ beginning of January, although they do continue to trickle out until the April deadline. So try not to panic, and if it doesn’t work out this time he won’t be alone if he decides to reapply next year.

Ok, thank you so much for your help and kind words. Fingers still crossed for Bristol. I'll get him to look at the day one competences document asap. He has worked so hard, did great in his A levels and has over 320 hours in work experience now along with working at a vet's currently. Not sure what else he can do but hopefully the document can shed some light onto the answers they are looking for in the SAQs. I know he won't give up and he can carry on getting loads more experience :smile:

How have you done?
