I guess I can start. In the last two weeks I completed the RVC application supplement that they send out after applying. Best of luck everyone.

Were they the same questions as last year?

Yes only difference I notice was they didn’t ask for proof of work experience ie documentation

Thank you so much! 1 more quick question, not sure if you know but I was a bit confused on the deadline for the supplemental application. It says its sent out 5 days after VMCAS submission so if I submit after 9/11, I won't receive the supplemental application in time for the 9/16 deadline?

I believe so. They send out their supplemental email after you submit vmcas and you have to complete it by the five day mark on the email. For example: this year I submitted it July 11 and I got the email with in two weeks after submitting and it gave me from that Monday I received the email to the following Friday. So if you submit September 16, you would probably receive the email September 23 and you have to complete it by Friday September 27, after that deadline I believe it is considered incomplete. Supplemental materials is just extra material for them that is not included in VMCAS, it helps them narrow down for interviews.

How many questions is the supplemental form? And can it be started and paused to go back later?

 

[phenomenology]

Yep! You can save your progress and go back later within the deadline they give you

 

[binx2002]

What phenomenology said! There are three essay questions, but they also ask you to outline veterinary and animal experiences and calculate approx. total hours within the last 18 months.

Morning guys! Does anyone know if it's a thing that RVC has previously offered 4-year accelerated applicants admission to the 5-year course instead of rejection?

 

[Future Emo Veterinarian]

Did yalls interview invites come after your vmcas was verified and fully done? submitted last week but one of letters hadn’t come in yet and hoping that’s why i haven’t heard anything yet

Morning guys! Does anyone know if it's a thing that RVC has previously offered 4-year accelerated applicants admission to the 5-year course instead of rejection?

Yes.

 

[violetvett]

Morning guys! Does anyone know if it's a thing that RVC has previously offered 4-year accelerated applicants admission to the 5-year course instead of rejection?

Did you mean the other way around, ie 4 year applicant offered the 5 year course? I'm pretty sure RVC has done it both ways in the past, but I think it's more common to be rejected for the 4 year program but offered the 5 year program.

 

[binx2002]

I just submitted my RVC supplemental, and downloaded a copy of my responses. For symbols like ‘ and “, the document made it weird. For example I’ve turned into I&ve. Surely it’ll be correct when they go to review my application? Does anyone else have this issue? Should I email them?

Had the exact same issue on my downloaded pdf, but it looked normal on their website! Lmk if you end up emailing them what they say? But, I think if both of us got symbols like that it's probably a thing with their system, not our submissions 🤔

Okay good to know, I agree with you! Mine looked normal on their website too.

Does anybody know where I could find RVC's term dates/academic calendar?

 

[violetvett]

Does anybody know where I could find RVC's term dates/academic calendar?

Just DM'd you! But generally, RVC starts up late September, has a Christmas break for 3 weeks, 5-6 weeks off for Easter (you'll be doing AHEMS, usually lambing, for some of this time), and then written exams are middle June and an oral exam in late June.

If anyone else is interested in the full schedule, just send me a DM!

 

[nathant53]

Just got an email saying I wasn’t selected for an interview, good luck everyone!

Same🥲

 

[nathant53]

Same🥲

Was yours due to the GPA cutoff too?

 

[phenomenology]

What is Royals GPA cutoff?

From the RVC website, "We look for both an Overall GPA and Science GPA of at least 3.4 but all applications are given due consideration."

 

[Futuredmvdvm]

Was yours due to the GPA cutoff too?

Yup I swear they said all gpa’s above like 3.0 are at least considered but I guess it didn’t pass that consideration. Welp 🥲, wishing you the best of luck with your other schools!

You too! I’m sure you’ll get in somewhere

 

[Future Emo Veterinarian]

I haven’t received anything from Royal. That’s nerve racking

Same here, I'm super nervous! Best of luck to you as we wait!!

 

[shadysadie]

Do you guys know if we’re given a specific date or options when we receive an interview invite? I originally told them I was available all days but due to a recent family emergency and sudden death in my family I can no longer do some of the dates. I emailed them over a week ago, but haven’t got a response yet.

 

[shibascream]

I just checked the portal and there was a date and location listed. I never got an email though lol

 

[FutureDogtor12345678910]

Me too!!!! I am so excited!

Sadly. No. I emailed the admission email for help.
