Okay, can someone help me out here please? The website for RVC is just making me angry and I can't find anything but undergrad courses. AAUGH!

Do I need to take AP exams?

I'm so confused.

Uhhhh, AP Exams are for college really, so I wouldn't think that you have to take them. I don't think many vet schools will accept them anyway if you used them for biology courses in college. Could be wrong on that, but I thought I read that some won't accept AP credit unless you have like a 5.

I was having this problem earlier. I could not (and still can't) find the course stuff on their website. I did, however, find it on the AAVMC site: http://www.aavmc.org/london.aspx. Here's what it says:

Prerequisites for Admission

Course requirements
VMCAS applicants are normally final year or recent university graduates although students with two years pre-vet will be considered. We will also consider High School students studying AP or the International Baccalaureate. These students apply through UCAS (see our website at http://www.rvc.ac.uk/Undergraduate/International/Country/NorthAmerica.cfm#Applying). Science graduates or applicants in the final year of a science based degree with the prerequisites may be considered for our 4 year accelerated course. Applicants who are unsuccessful in gaining a place on the four year programme may be considered for our five year programme. Subjects must include Organic Chemistry with lab, Biochemistry, Mathematics or Statistics, Principles of Biology, Physics with lab, General Biology, Animal Biology, or Zoology all with lab. As a minimum we require 8 semester credits in Organic Chemistry and Principles of Biology, General Biology, Animal Biology or Zoology and 4 semester credits in Biochemistry, Physics with Laboratory and Mathematics/Statistics (including Algebra). It is also recommended that students take General Chemistry or Fundamentals of Chemistry.

Required undergraduate GPA: 3.40 or higher preferred (on 4.0 point scale).

I hope that helps!

In the UK, the Veterinary Medicine is considered an undergraduate course and it's taken over 5 years at the age of 18 (for UK citizens). They have the Graduate (G&T) program (accelerated course) that combines years 1 and 2 into a full year course and after that you enter BVetMed year 3 (which is what I've done).

Here's some links to the website on information (although most of it is already in here!)

you can only find specific course stuff in the undergraduate prospectus, under the Bvetmed accelerated section, hope that helps! http://www.rvc.ac.uk/About/Publications/Prospectus_UG.cfm

Hey Lei325 how do you like the RVC by the way? I'm thinking of applying there and it would be helpful to get some input from a student. Sorry this question is a little vague but you can answer it however you'd like. What are classes like/student life/feasibility of moving to the UK?

Also, did you apply as an American applicant?

Any other input from RVC students is appreciated too! Thanks
