Veterinary Science at UQ...entry interviews? (1 Viewer)

[pulseczar]

Hi guys,

I'm applying for entry into vet science at UQ for 2010 as a graduate. I understand from information I've gathered and from UQ Admissions department that entry into any vet science at UQ is based entirely on meeting the pre-requisites and having an OP/Rank above the cut-off for this year.

However, I've been volunteering at a vet practice recently, and the vet there claims that UQ conducts interviews into for entry into vet science. This has made me quite worried. There is no mention of interviews or such on the UQ vet science pages, so I'm wondering if this is some "secret" procedure UQ conducts, and if so, are they actually allowed to not reveal that they do this? Granted, the vet I spoke to graduated from UQ 6 years ago so his info may be dated, but I'm hoping to clear my doubts here. Anyone knows for sure? Thanks!

hey,
i see you have applied for vet science at csu for next year.. i too want to do vet science, and i really want to go to syd uni but the uai is like through the roof.. so im thinking maybe now, csu... have u sat the stat test? and was it hard? i found it quite hard on the practice questions.. and also wat was ur uai? and yeah haha sorry i am asking so many questions i am just really interested... what should i do if i dont get the required uai? should i do a bach of science at syd or csu? and then change over after a yeaR? do i need to do the full 3 or 4 years of a bach of science or can i just switch after 1 year ? thanks..

You can switch after one year and the STAT isn't too hard just read the questions really carefully coz they can be a bit curly... If you do an undergrad degree you'll need to get at least a D if not HD average so be prepared to work your arse off
