- Hey friends, in this video I discuss how I wrote a personal statement for my veterinary medicine application via UCAS (Course code: D100). I share some tips and advice that I found helped me in writing my personal statement and receiving offers from the University of Cambridge, Bristol, Edinburgh and Glasgow (so maybe I did something right?!)! I've linked some resources in this post and hope it will be useful to your veterinary school applications!

🐄 Who am I?
I am a final year vet student at Cambridge University, UK. I make videos to help pre-vet students get into veterinary school, how I am surviving vet school and trying to be the best version of ourselves.

@@MayYeani! I recently found your videos, they are so helpful. I want to access your personal statement website but it is not letting me access it saying ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR. Is this perhaps because I am in the US?

This is super helpful thank you!
How many questions were asked to you in the interview and what were they? If you don't mind pls reply.
Ahh it varies if you were interviewed at Cambridge or at your home country, so for me I had a 30 minute interview that went through some A level organic chemistry questions, some specific to my personal statement and some welfare questions, hope that helps :))
When applying to university, did you choose a non specific veterinary degree as a fifth option, if so, what was it, and do include this in the UCAS October application? Thanks, Michelle
Hey Michelle, yes I did pick biomedical sciences at UCL, and you can pick any non vet degree option as well to include in your Oct application.
@@MayYean Thanks May. That is really helpful.
Could I please have your personal statement please for an example :) Thanks !!
Hey Belliot sure thing :) I'll send you a link to it when I set it up (apologies have been slow to do this 😆)
@@MayYean where will the link be located at?

@@MayYean can you please resend the link because it is not working:
What happens if I copy someone else's personal statement 😂not that I’ll do
If your personal statement is 10% or more similar (I think) to another personal statement then your application gets automatically rejected
@@alvinagiala4797 that’s scary af
@@alisalis1568 Yhhhh, innit! I mean imagine if I wrote something, and it's similar to someone else's and I didn't even know it was....
@@alvinagiala4797the worst thing is I'm not a native speaker so I’m not good when it comes to writing essays and stuff. Idk what i’m gonna do but we’ll see
@@alisalis1568 Good Luck 🤞 Hopefully , everything goes well! 🤗
