Hi I am 17 and I am planning on applying to do veterinary medicine. I have 11 weeks work experience (mixed), my GCSEs were 8 A*, 2 A (english lang and french), 1 B (english lit) and my AS grades are Bio-A, Chem-A, Maths- A, Phy- B. Is there anything I can do to strengthen my application? Also is it true that if you apply to Nottingham and get rejected you can't apply the again?

Hi

You should try to get as much practical experience working with animals as you can That might be at kennels, catteries or on a farm. I have no knowledge about how Nottingham views a second application, suggest you ask them if that's what you have heard. Use this info from the RCVS website to help you. Good luck.
