This was so helpful, I’m in year 11 and I’ve aspired to be a vet my whole life I’ve just realised how much I still have to learn!
Im only in year nine so I have a few years to learn this but now I know how much more I still need to learn. 😍
So you’re applying this year I assume!
@@user-wz2xq9ug2kyess I got into vet nursing this year
lovely. Thanks lots. :D
These videos are amazing ! Please do a video on graduate Medicine (even though it's MMI). There's not really much information about it
Hi! Will hopefully release something next term on Graduate Medicine. Thank you so much for the suggestion ☺️
That was intense 😃
I have done a diploma in vet pharmacy in India and I want to pursue a degree in veterinary too, can anyone tell me about the requirements and criteria or fees structure ?
Hello Sen ! Guido from Argentina (currently living here..), very interesting and educating videos... thank you! I am thinking to sit for the Royal Veterinary College examen in order to go and work in the UK and do a Neurosurgery residence. Do you have any experience with this? if do you have any advice for me? I am a bit lost with the amount of literature they've suggested us. Thank you.
Guido! Como te fue?
Hi! Great video! I am currently doing my GCSE’s and I want to study this at Cambridge! Do you think you could post a video on how to revise effectively? Thanks !
I will be posting videos for GCSE students in the next few weeks so keep an eye out!
Senthooran Kath thanks a lot!!! I’m still searching for my way of revising!
Always believe in yourself and make it essential to revise every single day! And if you fail try and again and keep continuing until you make it through. I believe in you!
I love animal and I represented by India and become goal as a veterinary science
She is very fast!!
I want to become a vet and have horses myself, I was just wondering are these questions the level of questions asked at an actual cambrige interview. Although I am not near Uni I found these questions pretty easy myself and was just wondering if these were the level of questions asked :)
Hello! Cambridge interview questions really vary between college and subject. Ultimately the aim is to test you logical reasoning, intelligence and passion for subject. So these questions are only for our experience and your questions and application process maybe be very different 🙂
Do you know if the interview differ in any way for Graduate entry students? Is there a heavier focus on experience etc. I am applying for entry into the 2019/20 academic year (I will be a graduate of Software Engineering by then). I have an A* in biology so I was very knowledgeable before, but it has been over 3 years. I am worried for the scientific part, as a lot of my memories of biology surfaced a little late or only in part when I heard these questions. I am currently doing a Chemistry A-level in prep for applying so that knowledge will be fresh, but I'm worried I'm a little rusty with the Biology. I'll be brushing up a bit before the interview of course, but any tips on how to handle it if something comes up I can't quite remember? Would interviewers disapprove of I was to almost work through my vague memories aloud? (for example, I could not remember the shape of a bacterial cell, but I thought 'Right OK, what do I remember being inside it? Mitochondria... Etc.'
Hi Jodie, I'm in a similar position thinking of Graduate entry vet. Do you have any experience to share on this?
@@fenixflames6242 unfortunately not on the interview, but my advice is if veterinary is really what you want more than anything do it - I'm at the end of my second year human medicine now (grad entry), and I wish more than anything it was vet med. I unfortunately couldn't afford veterinary because I couldn't afford England fees (my country has no vet schools), but could afford human medicine due to home student fees in my country being cheap enough to be covered by the minimal loan you get. I love the medicine of it, but I'm a vet at heart - if you have to stop and work for years to achieve it, do it! Don't worry about the interview - if you really want to do it, what you want to say will flow sincerely at interview. How I got into med when my ned interview was mainly talking about bloody treatment of cats I do not know 😂
@@jodieburnside2868 Sorry for hear you couldn't do vet med. Funding is a general concern for me too, unfortunately not much support for us people wanting to do graduate vet med. Hope you enjoy the human medicine career/course tho
The microphone is set to pick up only one person's voice....doh
Lol
If possible, could you please do one for law
The Cambridge Law Faculty recently released a really good law mock interview I think!
I didn't realize a veterinary interview would demand you recite facts from undergrad biology classes. I thought my degree and transcripts would reflect my knowledge. That's disappointing.
