Not the interview answer — the real reason. Was there a specific moment or experience that defined it?

Be honest: is it reputation? location? the interview format? a specific programme feature? Genuine reasons are more compelling than generic ones.

One experience deeply reflected on is worth more than a list. What did you actually see, and what did it teach you about veterinary work?

Euthanasia? Long hours? Farm work? Emotional burden? Identifying these shows maturity — and helps you prepare.

A date and an action. When will you submit your UCAS? When will you practise your interview?
