#1 Overview - The Veterinary Medicine Personal Statement
This guide has been created specifically for veterinary medicine applicants by a group of expert veterinary medicine admission specialists. Your Veterinary Personal Statement will be carefully analysed and critiqued by our Admissions Specialists who sit/have sat on Medical University Interview Panels, and you will receive tailored & bespoke feedback to improve your veterinary personal statement. Please read it carefully, and remember to ask us for help should you need anything!
The veterinary medicine personal statement is one of the most crucial aspects of your university application; it provides each candidate with the opportunity to impress and intrigue the university interview panel and stand out as a unique individual. Without an interesting veterinary personal statement, you will not be given an interview, and therefore no chance of successfully being offered a place at veterinary school. Remember to check the veterinary medicine personal statement examples that we have on the website, here you can find vet school personal statement examples that will help you build the perfect personal statement. Whilst each statement must be personal, as the name suggests, we have dedicated this section to decoding what universities are impressed and unimpressed by, how to stand out amongst thousands of applicants, and how to have the best chance of securing an interview.
Remember, we are here to help! Our Ultimate Package offers you unlimited reviews and edits of your Veterinary Medicine Personal Statement.

#2 Basics - The Veterinary Personal Statement
Writing Your Veterinary Medicine Personal Statement
As of 2025, the traditional UCAS personal statement has been replaced by a structured set of questions designed to give all applicants a fairer and more focused opportunity to showcase their suitability for Veterinary Medicine. This means you’ll no longer submit a freeform 4,000-character essay - instead, you’ll answer specific prompts relating to your motivation, experiences, and skills.
Each university will still value clarity, honesty, and genuine interest in the field - so strong writing remains essential.
What Will You Be Asked?
While the exact format may evolve slightly, the current structure includes prompts around:
-
Why you want to study veterinary medicine
-
What you’ve done to explore the profession (e.g. work experience, volunteering, speaking to vets)
-
The skills and attributes you bring to veterinary medicine (e.g. communication, teamwork, problem-solving)
-
Any challenges you’ve faced and what you’ve learned from them
-
Your wider interests and how they contribute to your readiness for university life
You’ll need to respond to each prompt within a character-limited section, similar to a word count. So, it’s still crucial to be concise, thoughtful, and specific.
Writing Advice
-
Be original and honest. Don't use AI or copy statements from others. Plagiarism or unnatural writing will raise red flags.
-
Avoid clichés and jokes - humour doesn’t always land and can feel inappropriate.
-
Show, don’t just tell - back up your qualities with evidence from your experiences.
-
Tailor your answers to veterinary medicine specifically, not just general healthcare or animal care.
-
Expect interview follow-up - your answers will likely be discussed at interview, so make sure everything is true and you’re happy to talk about it.
Final Tips
-
Draft your responses well in advance and ask teachers, family or professional mentors (like us!) for feedback.
-
Take time to reflect on your journey - what sparked your interest, how it grew, and what you learned from real-world experiences.
-
Remember, this is your chance to tell the universities why you’re a brilliant fit for veterinary medicine.
