Congratulations.
Did you receive an email ,or were you notified on the ucas portal?

Thank you so much!! I received an email from RVC first, and then I was notified on ucas shortly after

I just recieved an interview invite today!! 10th of December!!

Congratulations! It really isn't fun waiting to hear from them lol

Hello, I’ve applied for RVC! has everyone already been invited to interview or is it likely to be in batches?

What about for graduate students for the 4 year course ?

As far as im aware its the same they use the 15th and 16th as priority days for graduate applicants but they can interview you on any day. They say they try to inform people with at least 2 weeks notice but they dont always do that.

Yeah was just curious because I haven’t heard back from them yet . I know RVC is very competitive so bracing myself for a rejection anyway

Yeah, it’s honestly ridiculous for home students. I asked for the home student stats for the four-year course, but the numbers they sent looked wrong, so I clarified my question and I’m still waiting for them to get back to me. They first said 215 applied, 115 were interviewed, and only 5 offers were made so about a 2% offer rate for home students. But they also claimed they only made 15 offers to international students, even though the course takes around 100 people a year, which is why I think they’ve made a mistake somewhere.
For the five-year course, the offer rate is about 10% for home students and 50% for international students.

I swear they take 40 home students every year

Oh they tried to reject me a couple weeks ago because they said I didn’t send them my transcript which I did . It’s been sorted now but I had to phone them up about it and email them proof of when my transcript was sent . So I am bracing myself for a rejection unfortunately

I have just received my interview invitation for the 15th
