My Notes

Cambridge interviewers probe genuine intellectual curiosity, not just A-level answers. Aim for depth, not breadth.

Show your method: axes → units → trend → anomaly. This is a classic Cambridge "think aloud" style question.

Reference the scientific depth of the pre-clinical years, the College supervision system, the clinical facilities, and the EMS support grant. Acknowledge the conditional RCVS accreditation and show you have researched it.

A classic ethical dilemma for Cambridge-style interviews. Balance animal welfare law, the client relationship, and your professional duty. No "right" answer — the interviewer watches your reasoning process.
