RVC Gateway

Hey! just an update, i will be rejecting my offer from the RVC, it breaks my heart but they said they cannot defer my entry to 2025 unless i get the CCC grades in my alevels THIS YEAR, i was going to resit 2 alevels but im refunding these as i think i will not get CC in bio and chem. Instead i am going to do an access to higher education course which gives me a guaranteed interview with Bristol university for 5 year vet med course. Just remember there are so many ways to get into vet med! Hopefully my offer will be passed to someone who needs it more ❤️ (i also followed you on insta haha)

I know Surrey might not be your 1st choice but would still be worth putting it as your firm & bio vet as your insurance, the grade isn't completely unachievable!
I don't know about the gateway waitlist but mines been offered a place on the 5 year so they do try to get people on.

Hi all I have applied for the gateway to veterinary med for RVC, anyone know what are the chances of being accepted after an interview in comparison to the standard 5 year course to vet med at RVC. Are there less/more places available?

If it makes you feel better i havent heard anything, although gateway are only just giving out interviews (i only applied to gateway) Im guessing they are more likey to give you an offer for the D100 as there is only 50 spaces on the gateway, GOOD LUCK!

Woke up to an acception for the gateway programe. So happy as it's my dream uni. Still shaking and crying a bit lol.

I got my offer a few days ago!!! Over the moon, was shaking and crying lmao

congrats! Could I ask how much work experience you had and what your grades were x

Hi, what grades/work experience did you apply with?

For the gateway you don’t need any work experience but it will help as they ask about it during the interview and makes you stand out. The grades needed for the gateway are always CCC and I’m pretty sure you need to do both bio and chem a level, they have some Ctech options too if I remember correctly

I applied to both the 5 year and gateway course, so I had in total about 300 hours of work experience and predicted grades AAB in bio chem and psych, didn’t get into the 5 year course tho lol! But so so so so so grateful for the gateway!

Ahh I see, I thought you could only apply with the highest of ABB for gateway year, what course did you get into?

Sounds like great experience! Don’t worry about AS grades too much I don’t think many peoples are reflective. Watch some videos on vet MMI interviews if you’re curious but if very early on in the game to be thinking about you have to get the interview first lol, I’d focus your time on extracurriculars, reading books surrounding animal biology and making sure you write down all about your experience so you can not only have a great personal statement but a lot ready to use for the supplementary questionnaires they ask when you first apply.

My daughter has also applied for gateway at RVC, we've not been able to find acceptance rates but believe there is 50 spaces, I imagine it's highly competitive.
She's also applied to D100 & has an interview soon, we're assuming the 1 interview will cover both applications.

Hi do you know what your daughter got grade wise and work experience she had, just trying to get an idea of what the acceptance rate is like
