i'm glad it helped! i plan on making more soon like how to write personal statements and interview tips. all the best for your application!

Anita A yeah! I do have one filmed! I’m releasing one on how to pick the right vet school next week, and one on personal statements soon so be sure to subscribe

hi! im sure you know that this years IB exams have been cancelled. because of that, while i did really well, i didnt do AS well as I wanted, and scored a 5 in chemistry instead of a 6 which made me get rejected from Edin, my top choice. As you may have heard, there has been many problems with the way the IB calculated our grades with many people scoring below their ability. Because of that, I am currently looking into clearing into Bristol and will have a decision from them soon. if they choose not to accept me via clearing, i will be reapplying this coming fall after actually sitting for a chemistry exam (which will take place in november) because I know im a not a 5 student. The uni's have reassured me that this year they will allow resits unlike other years, and I am confident I will be able to get into most vet schools again as I've been through the entire application process and know what to do so I am not too worried. I am also not too bothered by taking a gap year as I do not want hybrid learning and I would love more time on farms for work experience. Hope that helps! My top choices are Edin and Bristol, because they are recognised by my home country so i can practice there in the future. Im not too keen on RVC because I don't want to live in London

@@zoestorms3537 Hopefully you get accepted to Bristol then! Although I think a gap year would really be beneficial as well if they don't accept you, but from watching this video you seem like a hard working student so I hope it works out for you :) Also I'm not too sure about RVC too since its in London and much pricier than other locations.

​@@sarahor5971 bristol JUST got back to me and i got in! so relieved i dont have to redo chem LMAO. yes, rvc is great because of how high class their facilities are but i truly didnt want to live in london and shift campuses so i declined my offer with them. a lot of the edinburgh offer holders will firm edin, insure glasgow or firm rvc and insure edin. For bristol it's firm bristol and insure nottingham. dont forget theres a new course by the RVC, course D105 btw RVC and Aberystwyth and a new vet school called Harper something.... sorry dont remember the name rn. But yeah give the new RVC course a go, because youll be in Hawkshead not London

Congrats 👍 what is your IB score?

@@henrykissinger65 i got a 39, predicted 40 :))

@ucl

If you can’t take the exam and they said they accept your integrated science I’m sure you can still apply without it affecting your chances

*7 days not weeks XD

Labs may count as clinical experience, email the uni to check, but your 4 years of farm will not count. However, you can mention both in your personal statement

@@zoestorms3537 Thank you :)

Work experience has to be be withing 2 years of applying to Uni. Lab experience will be positive but each uni will say if they accept that as normally its clinical experience.

you can try east island animal hospital but tbh i hated it there. but they have since replaced some staff so maybe it is better now

@@zoestorms3537 ok thank you so much!

firstly, ask yourself why do you only want to go to the RVC? you have about 25% or less chance of getting in. if it's for the facilities, the world class lecturers, the rankings etc then many other UK schools are extremely comparable such as edinburgh which i think is top 5 in the world, cambridge and glasgow in the top 10 and bristol which is number 11. Bristol, Glasgow and Edin are also all accreddited by AVMA, SAVC, EAEVE and RCVS and offer rural/urban campus environments. However, if its for reasons that ONLY the RVC can offer you and you definitely will not be happy going anywhere else, then I suggest you do not waste time applying to other vet schools as the application process is tedious, with interviews and supplementary forms that take hours to do. But don't forget you still have to do around 4-6 weeks of work experience, and to do that for one uni only with no backup seems a bit rash.

But there really is no point attending a school you wont be happy with. Remember that rankings are not everything. As you progress through A Levels you might realise that you are tired of the lecture/preached to method, and the integrated nature of Notts, Surrey and H&K appeal to you more. I started out wanting to go to RVC too but realised that many unis will offer the same quality education. If you want more shelter/community medicine experience rather than purely high class referral medicine which you might not see much of in practice, then Notts might appeal to you more than RVC as Notts partners with the RSPCA. Remember to keep an open mind, I never saw myself coming to bristol (as edin was my dream) but love it here all the same. The interview was my key reason why i decided edin was better for me than rvc, as I did not like how the professors at the rvc ineracted with me. Don't close yourself off to all the other UK schools just yet

RVC also only lets applicants reapply ONCE, and with less favour than new applicants (at least that was the case when I applied. said so on their website). I hope this helped

in the UK it is just 5 years undergrad (6 for cambridge)

rvc is on their website, the rest should be emailed to you

Ikr 🥲
