  • Hello friends! This is part of the vet school advice series :) Seeing that we are now entering the veterinary school interview season, I sat down with Dr. Harriet Semple, the loveliest mixed veterinarian I was on placement with to share with you some of our tips and vet school interview advice! I am grateful that she shares the same passion of getting students into vet school so do let us know if it is helpful, or if you have any other questions. Wishing you all the best for interviews and you got this!

      To pay for your course, student loans are available to UK students for living and tutor costs, you only pay a low interest when you start earning over a certain amount.

      Don’t worry by the time you reach the point of going through the interview you’ll know very well what a phospholipid bilayer is :) it’s really good that you’re doing your research now rather than later, i wish I would’ve done that.

      @@Joice_M I think the best thing is to know what kind of work goes into becoming a vet. Like what classes you’ll need to take before going to vet school. A lot of courses are science courses so you could try to expose yourself to more science related material. Also if you can try to sign up for summer camps that involve animals or any type of vet program aimed towards people interested in veterinary medicine. Good luck!
