Congrats karlleo!! It looks like you applied to most of the schools in the UK, are you from there? I haven't heard much about the school in Liverpool.
At least last year edinburgh tells you your in around xmas i heard on dec 22ndOh btw, anyone got offers from Edinburgh, or Liverpool, or Glasgow yet?
RVC is my first choice and I wanted to know what I should expect as far as time frames for acceptances? I saw that someone was already accepted and I'm a little nervous now. I've been accepted to Massey University and have an interview for Glasgow so I feel pretty good about that. I also applied to Edinburgh but I don't expect to hear from them until late december.Congrats!!! I'm a 3rd year at RVC now, former G&T (so technically it's my 2nd year here). Let me know if you (or anyone who applied to RVC) have any questions!

HAHA, thanks! Hey, I was just wondering...RVC has 3 scholarships for international students up for grabs every year. What can I do to increase my chances? I got through without an interview. If they score people according to interviews too, I'm sorta lacking there. -_-
RVC came to my school and told us that they are accepting about 80 international students (it was 50 last year). The speaker's name was Chris Hobson.Nope, I'm from Singapore. If i'm not wrong, RVC has 205 seats, 30 goes to international students. Liverpool ranks highly on the league tables though.
Does anyone know about the University of Dublin Supplement? I heard its due in December but I went to their website and can't find where to find the link to it. Thanks!

You would definitely know better! I might have misunderstood him as far as what the numbers actually meant (i.e. accepted vs. invited or enrolled, etc.) Thanks for clarifying for me! How do you like it there? Are you an international student?This sounds like the number of people actually here...not the number they accepted. I'm sure some people turned it down. We have about 35 in the 4 yr (or G&T course) program and then I think there's another 15-20 in the 5 yr program. (that's only international)
Not sure how many people turn down a spot here. I don't think they've published the data for a couple of years.

Definitely loving it here!! London is an amazing place to be. Also, the professors are just really great. We've had so many and I can think of only one or two that I'm not crazy about...but even they're nowhere near the worst I've ever had. Overall, just really impressed by the experience thus far.
I am international, I'm from the US.
Hey guys.. just felt like I had to introduce myself on this thread because I've been stalking this thread for the past few weeks without posting anything lol. Anyways, I applied to Edinburgh and RVC and I'm dying to hear back because my email has been quite lonely recently. Anyways, (for Edinburgh) when Victoria emailed me asking if I'd only be interested in the 4 year GEP or would like to be considered for the 5 year program, I told her that I would only be interested in the GEP.. I'm kind of regretting this now and I don't know if I made the right decision by saying that because I really don't mind 5 years at all, minus the tuition.. and I risk a greater chance of rejection. Would it be too late to change my decision?
Oh, and I don't know if anyone's seen/heard this but Edinburgh's accepting 180 students this year as opposed to 120 like they have done in previous years because of their new teaching facility. I just read this right now and it was a real encouragement..

I have been meaning to post and say I also got an email saying it was the 16th
I play hockey, but there are 50 of us on the Dick Vet team, so I will just be spectating on that Wed. My roomies (fellow SDNers) are also on the football teams, so I will definitely be out to cheer along everyone. Hope to see you there!!
Thanks for the response. That's so exciting to hear. I also applied to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Any reasons to choose RVC over those schools? ALso, are you in the 4 or 5 year? I'd like to do the 4 year program but I want to get a current student's opinion on the program differences. Thank you so much!
Merry Dick Day Eve fellow SDNers! I expect some epic battles tomorrow
(Go Glasgow! Beat the Dicks!!)
SOOOO excited for Dick Day tomorrow!!!! Couldn't come at a better time, just handed in our term paper/essay today
Did you know they are doing an equestrian even this year too?? Are you riding in it?
(Dicks rock!! Down with Weegies)
Does anyone know about the University of Dublin Supplement? I heard its due in December but I went to their website and can't find where to find the link to it. Thanks!
I think it's natural worry now that you've sent your response... but before you change your mind, have an honest think about the 5 year program. Think about the time, money, etc... if it's something you would definitely do if you don't get in to the four year program, then I would email Victoria to see if you can change your response still. She's absolutely wonderful, so if you wanted to change your answer I'm sure she would do everything to make that happen. You will have a degree by next fall, correct?
Just to clarify, roughly 180 are accepted each year. About 65 are slots for the 4 year program (for degree holders) and the other 115 are places in the 5 year program. These will be seats for UK and international applicants alike, so keep in mind your applicant pool when thinking about the numbers. Most of the 4 year program will be made up of North Americans and other internationals, where the five year people are mostly from the UK.
For instance, this is the first year in the new building and we have 61 GEPs (4 year people) that are mostly from NA... we will combine with the second years in the five year program (group of 120) next year when we go into "third year." I hope that makes sense. I am so sleep deprived, it's not even funny. Linky link to the Edinburgh page on AAVMC (see "Size of Entering Class"):

Oh no! Maybe your vet thought she submitted it but didn't press the final submit button? Can you check your VMCAS and see if it was officially submitted? I think its a sidebar on the right. You should contact your schools and send them a hard copy of her letter if they'll let you. It's better than not having it at all. Will the RVC let you send them the letter? I hope it all works out for you.Just got an e-mail from RVC saying that they did not receive a reference from one of my e-lors. How is this possible? She sent it through VMCAS along with all of my other letter writers. Now I am freaking out that there is something wrong with my VMCAS app. She was my only vet lor. So confused...
I just got accepted into the 5-year program at RVC without an interview!!Wow.
Congratulations! Is the RVC your first choice?I just got accepted into the 5-year program at RVC without an interview!!Wow.
Congratulations! Is the RVC your first choice?
That definitely makes sense. What are your top choices? Any other schools in the UK?While it's not my first choice(that's my IS), it is definitely one of my top choices after that. The 5 years would make it more difficult though, if I do get into a 4 year program somewhere The school seems wonderful though and I would love to live over there, so I'm definitely going to keep it at the top of my list until I hear from everywhere!
Thanks! Do you have a preference of the two? I'm leaning towards the RVC but Edinburgh looks amazing as well. Everyone I have talked to from Edinburgh are absolutely sweet and love their school. From previous threads, it looks like Edinburgh sends out acceptance mid to late december so don't worry about them for a while. I hope you hear from the RVC soon!Hey guys. Congrats on the early acceptances! I've been stalking this thread for a while as well and am hoping from some love from Edinburgh or RVC at some point in the future. Good luck to the rest of us as we wait!
I totally understand. I really want to go out an visit before I decide as well. Edinburgh has this video with students and such, and the students seemed so goofy and relaxed. I really like that! London would probably be much more hectic but I hear that the Herforshire campus is quite serene (just outside London?). I believe we'd move there after our first year so it would mellow out (and be cheaper I hope!).I actually think that I prefer Edinburgh based solely on the location. I lived in London for a while and it is great, but expensive as hell. Edinburgh is lovely and, as you say, everyone seems to love the place. It's a bit more laid back and, as I live in NYC, I'm ready for a bit of laid back. Having said that, I'd be happy at either place, I'm sure. If I were to have options, I think a visit would be in order! Congrats again on having one in the bag!

p.s. I love your avatar. Pup in motion!
Gaaah now RVC wants a reference from a vet that I worked with previously!! Why was my current vet reference not sufficient? I don't work with that vet anymore. It is going to be such a pain in the *** to get him to write me a reference now and they want it "as soon as possible".
