Couldn't find a thread for Edinburgh/Royal Dick; has anyone applied and heard from them? I haven't heard a thing and I know interviews have already started. International applicant here; hope everyone's hanging in there this app szn! 🙂
I applied too, it's one of my top schools! I'm also an international applicant and haven't heard anything. I think the interviews that they have been doing are for their English applicants, especially the ones applying for the 5-year program (right from high school)? One of my friends also applied and hasn't heard anything yet either!Couldn't find a thread for Edinburgh/Royal Dick; has anyone applied and heard from them?

Thanks for all the info!!! reassuring to hear but yes lol I will continue to refreshI applied too, it's one of my top schools! I'm also an international applicant and haven't heard anything.

When I toured the school last January (pre-COVID) they were preparing to leave for interviews in the States, that would have been the last week in January, so I think they won't be sending out invites until towards the end of December/beginning of January, especially if interviews are going to be remote this year? So I think we should be fine and hopefully should be hearing something after the holidays!
Despite this, I still check my emails 3902482 times a day... just in case 😆
YAY!!! CONGRATS TO YOU!Just got an interview! Applied by UCAS though, so they might be scheduling interviews for UCAS-applicants earlier than VMCAS. At least things are happening!
Well done, congrats! I applied via VMCAS and got an interview invite today too! Interview isn't until February 3rd though... so far away 😂Just got an interview! Applied by UCAS though, so they might be scheduling interviews for UCAS-applicants earlier than VMCAS. At least things are happening!
Also a little late but VMCAS applicant here as well. Received an interview for 1/21/21 also on 12/11/20.Couldn't find a thread for Edinburgh/Royal Dick; has anyone applied and heard from them?

Not 100% sure, but I have a feeling it was one big round. They may send out more depending on how many people accepted their interviews, but I think that that round got most, if not all, of everyone they wanted to interview.Do we know how many rounds of interview invites they typically send out? Or do we think that one big round was it on Dec. 11th?
Hey tdog101, I think they may send out more depending on how the currently booked interviews go. This website shows the currently booked dates and says that further dates will be released as soon as possible.Do we know how many rounds of interview invites they typically send out? Or do we think that one big round was it on Dec. 11th?
Congrats on the interview! Mine is the beginning of Feb. I think online interviewing is kinda neat, and the reduced travel is kinda nice. I am nervous and excited about what the additional skills tasks could be though given they are changing up the traditional MMI format!A little late, but VMCAS applicant here who also got an interview for the end of January!!! How is everyone feeling about the remote interviewing?
I have my interview on Jan 21 2021 and my reminder email said that I would also have to take an additional skills online test on Jan 25 2021. In this email they let me know that I will receive further information about this soon but that is the last I have heard.Has anyone received an email or is familiar about Additional Skills Task?
I just had my interview; don't want to divulge details, but just make sure you review your own application and try not to stress! I know that's cliche but that's what I would tell past me 🙂 and no idea what the additional skill task is, they also don't give any details on thatIn preparation for my interview this Thursday, I was researching what type of questions they'll ask. On the website and in the e-mail they sent, they state that it will be MMI, with the interview "rooms" concerning Work Experience, Career Exploration and Awareness of being a Professional, and Awareness of Animal Welfare. Much of what I've researched on MMI's seem to be more situational or judgement-type interviews with one question, or prompt, being asked. However, the interview topics don't seem like this will be the case for the Edinburgh interview. Does anyone familiar with the process know if the MMI's will be more situational or more like three separate "traditional" interviews? Also, I know others have already asked this in the thread, but does anyone know what the additional skill task is or what it has been in the past?
I wasn't sure what to expect but it wasn't that! I'm afraid I might've fumbled with the calculations but we'll see...Man I was feeling great until after the additional skills test anyone else feel like it was pretty hard?

I actually thought it was a lot of fun! I have to do med calcs constantly at work so I hope I got them all right. It reminded me a lot of those "What is Your IQ" quizzes on like Buzzfeed. I never realized doing those quizzes in class when I'm bored would pay off! 😂I wasn't sure what to expect but it wasn't that! I'm afraid I might've fumbled with the calculations but we'll see...
Don't feel too bad, last year when I interviewed I was sure I forgot how to do basic long division (cause it had been a hot minute) and thought I messed up entirely. Alas, I got in and now I'm a first-year GEP student.Man I was feeling great until after the additional skills test anyone else feel like it was pretty hard?
do you mind me asking, how long did it take until you heard back about your acceptance? on their timeline they said for intl students they try to let interviewees know as soon as possible, but unclear whether that is a couple weeks or a month or two. Thanks! Hope you're enjoying Edinburgh 🙂Don't feel too bad, last year when I interviewed I was sure I forgot how to do basic long division (cause it had been a hot minute) and thought I messed up entirely.

It was actually surprisingly soon, I interviewed on the 7th of Feb and they got back to me on the 21st so 2 weeks after my interview date. Thanks, trying my best to stay warm 😊do you mind me asking, how long did it take until you heard back about your acceptance? on their timeline they said for intl students they try to let interviewees know as soon as possible, but unclear whether that is a couple weeks or a month or two.

Just received my acceptance!!!
I applied through VMCAS for the 4-year graduate programWhere did u apply from ?
Please post your findings, I'm trying to being a spouse!Hi all! I've been reading through immigration sites, but am a bit confused. Does anyone know if being a student in the 4 year GE class on a student visa gives you the right to bring a spouse with you to Scotland (from the US). I'm having trouble understanding if studying for a vet degree would meet the requirements. If no one here has experienced bringing a spouse, I’ll reach out to immigration directly and post my findings 🙂.
Hi, I have a few classmates that brought spouses. Basically, you will be studying under a Tier 4 Student Visa full-time for more than 9 months. This means you can bring a dependant (partner or child) with you. They just have to also apply for a Tier 4 Dependant Visa. I'll link both the government website and an easier-to-understand website with the proper information below. 🙂Hi all! I've been reading through immigration sites, but am a bit confused.

Bringing Your Family to The UK on a Student Visa - Study in UK
Studying abroad in the UK is surely an exciting experience. But sooner or later you’re going to miss your family members and everything you’ve left back home. Studying can be stressful from time to time and seeing your parents and other family members might offer you some much-needed relief...www.studying-in-uk.org
No problem! Feel free to message me directly for anything, and I'll do my best to answer any questions. The immigration process is not super straightforward in a normal year, and it has been made even slower and less user-friendly since COVID.Thank you so so much!!!
I was eligible when I applied to school. So, unless they changed something, you should be.Does anyone know if the GEP is eligible for grad PLUS loans, I for the life of me can't figure out if it does
