International Student Applying to Vet school

Hello!
I am a neuroscience graduate from Carleton University Canada and I am looking to apply to some vet schools in Europe (specifically UCD, Royal **** school of veterinary studies in Edinburgh, and maybe a couple others that teach in English). My current issue has to do with ensuring that my courses from my Canadian University "match" the prerequisites. In some Canadian vet schools they have a course equivalency form you can fill out where it will tell you if your courses are appropriate. I have tried to find similar options for the schools mentioned above. Dublin school specifically told me I would need to fill out an application in order to determine if my courses are equivalent. However I do not want to pay the 300 something pounds to fill an application that is meaningless since I am not ready to apply yet. I feel like there must be SOME other way to determine equivalency. Is my best bet calling admissions and asking them if there is a way to do this without fully applying? Has any international student had this issue before and how did you deal with it?
Any recommendations or advice at all would be super super helpful.
Thanks y'all.

Hi There
My daughter is applying to Dublin as a US High Schooler. The UCD reps were at her High School College Fair this week and they have been super helpful. If you haven't already, I would suggest contacting one of the US-based admissions reps, they have been super helpful answering all our questions. Here is the link with contacts below. We met Tessa in person who was great and I have emailed Sarah Keniston with specific admissions questions and she has been amazing. Hope that helps!
