UCAS forms

“It was slightly confusing because you know you had to get like a statement from your school or college and I went to mine and asked “can you write me a reference”, they were like “well what do you want us to put in it” and I was like “I don’t know, I thought you’d know”.  So we all had to keep ringing RVC to find out what you need to know.” Yessim Saylam, Gateway 2005

“I think the application to Gateway is a lot more straightforward, it’s more targeted and a lot easier to write because I think there’s more hints about what maybe they’re looking for.  They ask you to talk about your experiences, and want you to talk about topical things.” Sarah-Jane Edwards, Gateway 2005

“There was a sort of crossover but I think having the extra Gateway statement really helps.  My UCAS form was quite broad and not focussed on veterinary because I was thinking of doing another degree and then applying to the RVC graduate and transfer scheme.” Carla Quinn, Gateway 2005
