Hi a new thread with DC applying to Vet Med next year or for anyone with DC already studying who could pass on some words of wisdom!

My DD is looking to apply to Cambridge, Surrey, Nottingham and Bristol.
She has a fair amount of work experience arranged already and we will do the open day circuit next year.

That’s good news Bati. All quiet here, it’s even harder waiting now that a few offers are trickling in!

3catsandadog · 22/11/2019 08:04

No news for us from Notts or Bristol seen that interviews/offers are coming out.

Maybe we will here something positive today from memory with DS - Friday seems to be a lively day with unis!

The Notts and RVC ones on TSR are European students (DD checked !). But reckon they'll be soon. DD says I can now say she has an offer from Bristol - I was told off for posting before as she hadn't heard of any others yet. It was v lovely to receive. Fingers crossed for the next few weeks to our lovely kids.

3catsandadog · 22/11/2019 09:42

Well done great news on Bristol MNW :)

Thanks (again 😁). And well done for all the other interviews. I think this whole process is so tough for them.

Bati · 22/11/2019 14:18

Mumsneedwine - Well done to your dd for getting an offer for Bristol, excellent news 😊

Scottandcharlene · 22/11/2019 15:12

Congratulations to your daughter mumsneedwine, that is amazing news! I am trying to stay away from the student room and this forum as I don’t think my nerves can stand it. It is definitely worse than DD1’s Cambridge application because at least then everyone heard on the same day!

mumsneedwine · 22/11/2019 15:31

Thanks all. She really is a v lucky young lady. It's so stressful waiting to hear anything and tsr doesn't help as people post half information. Last night one said got an RVC interview for D100 but turns out was for 4 year course. V good idea to stay well clear !! I hope everyone has a lovely weekend and we all hear some good news next week.

handmedownqueen · 23/11/2019 17:05

Hi All - just thought I would check in - Surrey iv on 21st - hoping to hear something next week but DD pretty downbeat. It was a long trip for us. Liverpool iv this week. Yet to hear from Bristol or HK. How’s everyone else’s kids bearing up ?

3catsandadog · 25/11/2019 11:23

Hi handmedownqueen yes its all a bit of a rollercoaster as expected.

Good luck for Liverpool.
My DD has received a Nottingham interview today but not heard anything from Bristol as yet either. I think a few offers have gone out for Bristol but she hasn't got one atm.

mumsneedwine · 25/11/2019 13:51

Nottingham interview here too. Trying to juggle so one if can go with her. Just RVC to heat from 😳

mumsneedwine · 25/11/2019 14:09

And I can't spell 😂

Scottandcharlene · 25/11/2019 15:23

Nottingham interview here too thank goodness.

mumsneedwine · 25/11/2019 15:46

Great news. They must not have killed anyone in the SJT 😂

Scottandcharlene · 25/11/2019 15:54

Ha ha mumsneedwine. That’s true!

Scottandcharlene · 25/11/2019 16:52

DD just got an offer from Surrey! What a relief 😅

mumsneedwine · 25/11/2019 16:53

That's fantastic news !!!! So so lovely to get an offer. They only need one. Feels like the pressure is off just a little bit for interviews. Go celebrate 🥂

3catsandadog · 25/11/2019 17:00

Well done on the Surrey offer great news :)

OP posts:
Scottandcharlene · 25/11/2019 17:22

Thank you both, it’s a huge relief as you know! No celebrating tonight as it’s a 6.00 am start tomorrow for the trip to Liverpool. The rollercoaster continues...

Bati · 25/11/2019 17:32

Well done on the Surrey offer 😊
Dd has also been invited for interview at nottingham 😁
