Veterinary medicine interview

Does anyone know when we start receiving interview invitations? I applied to Liverpool, Nottingham, Harper and Keele, and Surrey. I've only heard back from Surrey.
Thank you! 🙂


Edit: I've received interview invitations from all!

Hello, you'll be waiting a while unfortunately! I got my invitation to interview in January, had my interview in March and then received my offer in April. Prepare yourself for a lot of waiting with no answers, and being put on hold. Don't panic, being put on hold doesn't always mean bad news!

Is that for bristol? because i'm hearing a lot mixed responses, some saying they do interview and others saying they only interview for the gateway course?

Only know for the 5 yr and there will be no interview for that. In the talk today they said they don’t use interviews, as a candidate could be amazing on the day but not so on the course and vice versa.

From the ones you mentioned I applied to Liverpool and Notts last year and received my Liverpool interview mid to late November and Notts interview beginning of December. Good luck! If you have any questions I am always happy to answer :smile:

Hi all, I received an email just now from Surrey saying that they'd like to invite me for an interview. But when I click respond to invitation it is saying no dates available for this interview. What should I do?

I also got an interview offer for Liverpool today! I sent the SAQ to Bristol about a month ago and it looks like last year the first offers from them went out mid-December.

I’m a first year at RVC now :smile:
Mostly recorded myself answering interview questions with a 5 minute time limit to simulate the interview itself. I used a random number generator to choose the question from a list of interview questions I gathered to make sure I was answering the question on the spot.

Has anyone else gotten an interview for HK vet med? And if anyone’s done them before, what are the MMI’s like?
