Royal Vet College interview Tues 16th Dec

Hii! I got an invite for the RVC's interview day on Tuesday, 16th December, and wanted to make this for anyone else going.If you have any questions or advice, we can ask each other, which would be helpful :smile:. I mean, to be fair, I have loads of questions that need answering anyway lol.
On the email it says that our interviews will start 13:30, so like 1:30pm, is that referring to the actual MMI interview, or is that referring to the day itself, because before our interviews is meant to be a bunch of talks and tours, speaking of which, I wonder if we would be able to come in casual clothing for the tours, and then gap for which we can change into something more formal because I don't want to be walking around the campus in formal wear.
Congrats to all of you guys who got interviews too! I look forward to meeting you :smile:

The afternoon starts at 1:30 with a presentation by the head of admissions. From there students are divided into groups and each group has a student ambassador to lead them through the afternoon. There are multiple blocks and since you don't know which block you'll be in, you should arrive in your interview outfit. We didn't tour outside the vet building due to weather, can't say if this is normal or not since each group might be unique. Part way through the afternoon there is another presentation on finances, housing, etc. which everyone attends, and is followed by the final block. The afternoon concludes around 5pm. The afternoon is very well organized. Good luck!

Aah, I see, okay, that's great, thank you so much! So, really, I should be there for 1:15 pm, as I don't know the actual start time of the interview. That depends on the length of the presentation and how long the tours take.

Hi guys I was offered an interview on the 5th and it around the same time but mine is in Singapore, I was wondering if anyone would mind letting me know like how the interview was for them, if the ethics questions were hard and how the group project went? Thanks so much I hope you all did really well in your interviews!
