Hey all,
I finished my Year 12 studies in 2012 with a final ATAR score of 89.05. I would really really love to get into Vet Science at Sydney, but I couldn't apply last year due to not sitting the STAT test. Anyway, I accepted a place at Monash in Melbourne for a double degree of Arts/Science which I have deferred, but I also received an offer for Animal and Veterinary Bioscience at USYD which I couldn't take due to not being able to move yet.
I am working full time as a veterinary nurse this year and was wondering whether this would help me in regards to getting in. I'm aware that my score is below the ATAR for the course, however I am applying for special consideration on the grounds of ongoing mental illness and difficult personal circumstances which have been pretty awful for about 3 years and really impacted on my study in Year 12. Can anyone comment on special consideration for vet at all?
I am sitting the STAT this year (hoping to get over 170,) and in regards to my commitment statement I have extensive experience in horses, cats, dogs, poultry and some exotic species, and once my current clinic closes I will be moving to a rural clinic to gain experience with cattle, sheep and pigs.
Does anyone have any idea of what the possible likelihood of me being admitted into the uni is?
I have never been more sure of what I want to do with my life and my determination has only increased with my experience with my job, please help.
