This thread is for discussing applications to Bristol Veterinary School at the University of Bristol in the 2024-2025 cycle.

I am currently in the middle of the application process, applying from the USA but with UK citizenship. I am debating whether to use the VMCA application or UCAS application process. I received a Bachelors in Animal Science in the US in 2018, but my GPA is only 2.9. My High School GPA is a 3.4 and I could possibly use college courses as supplemental "APs" in conjunction with my high school diploma.
Does anyone have any experience using the VMCA application or UCAS? Or know who I could ask?

Hey guys, I'm kind of confused on Bristol's supplemental application. Is there one to submit, if so, where is the link?

Last year, they only had an SAQ (supplementary assessment questionnaire), but they didn't send that out until after the VMCAS and UCAS cycles closed. Not everyone gets it either, just the ones that meet the minimum requirements

You’re amazing, thank you for the help!

It was one of the schools I really wanted last year. I got rejected end of February. Trying so hard this year! Best of luck 🩷

Anyone else get an invite to complete the SAQ this morning?

I did!

I did too

I did too

I did!

Awesome! So did I. I am so nervous, I did the SAQ last year, and I was put on hold from December until February, then rejected on 02.28.2024. It killed my spirit for a couple of months... But it also motivated me to apply to all UK schools.

I got the SAQ too! Does anyone know if it is timed for each question, also can you save and come back to it another day or does it have to be done all in one sitting?

Not timed. You don’t need to do it all at once but it does not save.

 

[FutureDVM202?]

thanks! So does that mean you have to leave the tab open or you have to restart each time?

I keep it on the tab, but I don’t keep it on my browser with everything else. I minimise it when I’m not working on it but I keep it open the whole time.

Submitted my SAQ, feeling confident about it

 

[chilledguava]

Hey guys, I have an issue with my SAQ where my full essay won't paste into the text box. It says to restrict yourself to 1,000 words yet my essay is at about 700. Anybody else experiencing this?

 

[Future Emo Veterinarian]

Try rewriting in the text. Sometimes what Microsoft word says is 700 is not equivalent to the text box of an application. Best luck.

 

[FutureDVM202?]

Is there a specific time to submit SAQ on the 8th?

 

[Future Emo Veterinarian]

Is there a specific time to submit SAQ on the 8th?

I'd safely think 11:59 PM UK time, but I might be completely wrong.

 

[Future Emo Veterinarian]

Remember everyone. SAQ is due 10.08.2024
