Just sent out my GRE scores online (at ETS) and could not find where to send it to RVC...does anyone have this similar problem? Also i've heard that this year only the general test was required but please correct me if im wrong because I know in the past they required the Bio subject test. Lastly, no supplement exists for RVC correct? Thank you so much for helping me out

Last I knew, they didn't require a standardized examination. In fact, my AAVMC books says "N/A" under exams for RVC...

No supplement exists for RVC, but I'm not sure about the GRE stuff. I know I had to send my GRE scores in and it was available via ETS, but I also applied 2 years ago. The best way to answer those questions is to email Margaret Kilyon at [email protected]. International admissions will get back to you super quick, especially since the VMCAS deadline is so close.

Here's the link to the AAVMC college specification list for RVC:

Good luck!

I don't think they require the bio subject gre. When I sent in my stuff last yr I think I only sent the std gre.

here's the link for north american international students.

also, last year they accepted applications later than the vmcas deadline....don't know if that'll happen again.

Unless I made a huge error, RVC doesn't require GRE's, last I checked. If I'm wrong that's one school I'm definitely not getting in!

Thanks everyone! I emailed RVC and they said that they did not require the GRE scores sent to them so hopefully that helps!

Hey, did you use email the at the [email protected] address? I tried emailing them on that address a few weeks ago but never got any response...wondering if it went through?

 

[AJen]

Yep...I got a response within a day...maybe try again?

best bet if you want a response is to just call them. all it is is a couple of bucks for skype credit and it's actually lasting me a while so far too, b/c i've made calls to RVC, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dublin, and Murdoch!

just keep in mind the time zones...i have classes from 8am-1pm, so i either stayed up reallyyyy late or woke up reallyyyy early to get in contact with the admins ppl

Sometimes they respond really quickly, sometimes not at all...emailing is a crapshoot. I'd call. Like someone said earlier, on skype-to-go its 2 cents/min (super cheap - thats to a landline btw.)
Also, I'm here now as a first year (in the 4 yr, G&T) so if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. Best to PM me, as SDN sends me an email notification. This is a gorgeous school and the city is amazing! Best of luck all!
