Applying to Veterinary Medicine whilst in a degree?

Hi all.
Im going to start this by laying out my scenario.
Ive applied to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol and Liverpool. As of the 31 Jan, I have been rejected from both Bristol and Liverpool (back to back which is so brutal...). I also applied to veterinary bioscience at glasgow, which I have an unconditional offer for.
My question is, assuming I do not get into either glasgow or edinburgh (still keeping my hopes up), if I take the unconditional offer can I apply for veterinary medicine whilst in the middle of the degree? Is so would that affect my SAAS funding? Also If I take the offer, there is no hope for clearing so that is tricky.
Any information is helpful at the moment Im just trying to be realistic with the scenario I have at hand.
Thanks all!

Do you already have your A level results then? If so id take a gap year to gain further vet experiences over doing a degree if your heart is set on Vet med. Also UCLan and Notts were in clearing last year so you’d miss out on a chance of these too. Hope you get an offer from one of the Scottish unis in the meantime. Also if you are Scottish the SRUC will probably be in clearing too. I’ve applied to that course as an RUK applicant.

Yeah im a scottish student, but only have predicted advanced highers. I was thinking the same with clearing for SRUC but its not a guaranteed place so its tricky to make up my mind. Thanks for the input!
