Year 13, Yesterday

Hi! When did u hear and what are u studying 😊

Hi 👋 I’m a postgraduate applicant who applied for the 4 and 5 year at RVC, I thankfully received an offer for the 5 year but have been put on hold for the 4 year. I have seen lots of others who have also been put on hold across both courses and thought it would be a good idea to make a thread specific to people on hold for RVC 2026 entry to chat, get updates on what’s happening with on hold applicants and support each other! Fingers crossed we get offers 🤞

That’s really good, again please don’t be discouraged it’s hard for year 13s all going in with A levels especially when 1) it’s hard to get work experience when you’re younger and 2) it’s daunting doing interviews in the RVC style so he really proud of yourself that you’ve come this far, what other universities have you applied to ? 😊

I was put on hold yesterday for the 5 year course. I am a year 13 home student.

i applied to rvc surrey glasgow and edinburgh.. i do have one offer from surrey but it’s still so stressful, i was kind of ready for a definite answer on whether i got in or not, so now im overthinking even more! x

Same am on hold for RVC 5 year and have a Surrey offer.Buts it annoying as id like to know where I'm going at this point and start with accommodation and such.

Hi have you applied anywhere else and when did u hear 😊

Hello, I applied to Liverpool (rejection), Bristol (rejection), RVC, Aberystwyth and the RVC gateway. I am hoping being put on hold for the 5 year course will translate to something good for the gateway but not holding hope. I am just hating the wait lol. I heard from RVC yesterday.

Thank you for the kind words. If nothing else comes out of it, this application cycle was a great learning experience for me to go ahead and apply again next year.
