A small update in the run up to UCAS...

I thought I'd briefly post about what I've been up to over the summer in terms of preparing for the scarily close UCAS early deadline for veterinary applicants!

The last touches to my personal statement are being added thankfully after several re-writes, moments of writers block and fustration at the 4000 character limit whilst trying to explain the multitude of things learnt on work experience, include my extra-curricular activities such as D of E and being a Young Cub Scout leader and overcome the difficult task of putting into words the many reasons why I want to be a vet.

In terms of unis I have currently visited the RVC on their open day back in May and found the campus facilities were stunning whilst the staff I met seemed passionate about their specialisms encouraging me to want to apply there- even if it does mean the extra study needed for the BMAT. So far I have also booked onto the Nottingham and Bristol open days, both of which are in September so I have a feeling it's going to be a very busy month.

Now is the time I'm also having to organise the last few chances to get in some more dairy work experience before my application gets sent off, luckily I know a local farmer so hopefully the next few weekends will be spent milking! I've also been lucky in that this years timetable may even include the chance for me to cram in some more experience at a vets whilst not in lessons, it's just up to me to try and get this organised!

Futhermore I also have the study needed for my A levels to consider, this year I'm determined to work even harder than last year in order to achieve the grades needed for vet school. Here come the coloring felt tips and bright revision posters for my subjects!

My overall feeling is that this month is going to go incredibly quickly and will jam packed with all the crazy things a vet applicant seems to have to go through before their statement is even looked at!
