Thank you for this! They might be a little behind this year but at least this gives us a comparison. Is there any advice you can give about the interviews? I haven't been offered one yet so it may be a bit presumptuous of me but this is my top school choice so I am crazy nervous
I genuinely recommend being yourself and just showing your true passionate personality! They were SO NICE honestly one of my more laid back interviews. I even fumbled a bit on the conceptual questions they asked me but they told me they could tell I was good at using my critical thinking even if I didn’t know the exact right answer every time! Be confident in yourself and let your achievements and interests shine through 🙂
What kinds of concept questions would they ask?
Don't give up! When I emailed about when I might get my ERT, since I applied directly and not through VMCAS, the response I got definitely made it sound like they are still sending out in batches. One of my friends that got her test before me suggested they are going alphabetically
Not sure how much I’m allowed to talk about it but I’ll keep it general.. I was asked some conceptual questions about logistics in clinics surrounding some commonly seen or used medical terms/diagnoses/preventative services
Fingers crossed they weren't lying lmao
It’s 11pm in Glasgow rn so I don’t think today they will be sending anything
Did you accept your offer? Slash if you did, are you liking it?!
same here! The ERT is graded and passed but no slots available for the information booking as of now.
I did not! I have a plethora of reasons as to why I didn’t but I have 3 of my close friends who are currently at Glasgow and LOOVEEE it. It’s not a program for everyone but if it’s right for you it’s awesome!
I checked my ERT before and it wasn’t passed. Just checked it and it’s passed for me too! Hopefully they get back to us tomorrow.
I still haven't since I completed the ERT. I keep checking to see if I got a passing grade, but nothing.
Fafsa !
Do you feel like Fafsa gave you enough to cover everything? I'll most definitely be living off campus if I get in
Fafsa gives u the max COA aka cost of attendance which Glasgow sets it includes EVERYTHING like housing booos tuition fees etc it’s exactly the same as a stateside school does the process. Usually people take out this max amount or less to save loans wise lol
Since we're talking about FAFSA, I have been rejected for any funding over the past 3 years because I had a previous bachelors degree. So I've been paying out of pocket to do my prerequisites for vet school. Do you know if my status for FAFSA would change, since technically vet school would be a professional or higher level degree? IDK what I will do if I don't have any funding. I guess take out a personal student loan but that would suuuuck!
If you are enrolled in a veterinary program you should be 100% able to take out loans through fafsa I’ve never heard of anyone being denied loans in this way
Hey! Did you apply through VMCAS for the September 15th deadline? I applied through UCAS (Oct 15 deadline) - wondering if it’s a bad sign that I haven’t received anything regarding the ERT yet.
Hey! Did you apply through VMCAS for the Sep 15th deadline? I applied through UCAS (Oct 15th deadline), and haven’t been sent the ERT yet. Wondering if it’s a bad sign or just because I applied with UCAS
If it’s the same as last year they do not give you a score they just say whether or not your application is being advanced to interview following the ERT
I checked earlier and my score has been checked as passing but I haven't gotten any emails yet.
Id say if you haven’t heard from them you should definitely email especially if it says passing and they had said they’d email on Oct. 21. It could be a mistake on their end!
I’m mainly asking because I was checking and this was on the page where you begin the test, I haven’t had it say fail or pass or even emailed.
Yea honestly I’m not sure bc last year I never even looked at that page again so I was never aware if it said “pass” or not but they also were moving like 3 weeks faster last year so it was a really quick turnaround from when I submitted it and when I was asked to interview. They’re incredibly kind and responsive if you emailed I’m sure they’d be willing to help / let you know what that means!
I'm on EST and was confused too lol checked with someone else on here - it's 1pm EST we think 😃
I clicked on the zoom link just to see what it said and it made it even more confusing lol. It said "the meeting is scheduled for Wed, Nov 13"
That's kinda strange... I passed but don't know my grade. I think you just need 9/15 to pass
But I don’t know if I passed. The grade received is checked marked, but the received a passing score is the same. I would assume if I didn’t pass it would have an “x” or red.
I'd email Ms. Gillespie to ask! She's very responsive
Not everyone gets an interview! Like not even close tbh the pool is slimmed by the scores of the ERT and is quite competitive as they cut many people after it. The interviews are conducted with you and 2-3 faculty. It was a more laid back format than others I had but it was the only interview that asked me about my like KNOWLEDGE of veterinary medicine and the field at large. I felt they were really looking for people who UNDERSTOOD the field and how it works beyond just wanting to be a vet bc they love animals. Good luck!
You don't have to talk. There is an opportunity at the end to ask questions but you can put them in the chat. I found the info session to be really helpful!
it should open a few days after the info session. If you don't see it email Ms Gillespie she is incredibly responsive
