Well, unfortunately the answer to those things is not the one I would like to be giving you. This has got to be by far the most difficult blog post I need to make.... but I need to make it.
As you have probably guessed by know, in spite of my hard work and fund-raising efforts, and your great support (financially and otherwise) it just obviously was not the year for me to get off to vet school. For this year's tuition fees, I was left about £7,500 short (and that would have been with the loans I could have got as well).
So what happens next I hear you asking?
Plan B:
I have every intention of reapplying to vet school. My plan over the next few weeks is to begin a course in chemistry and physics, getting those back up to scratch, send my application to more vet schools (including, but not exclusively Edinburgh), taking the entrance exams and then preparing for some interviews (hopefully).
I would like to thank you all so much for the support you have given me, it really gave me hope and made me more determined than ever to succeed, but as I said this year obviously was not the one for me. But I will not stop, I will hold onto that hope and determination, and see what next year brings.
In terms of the financial support you offered to me, I propose several options....
1) Allow me to hold onto it for another year should I get in and have more success next time round acquiring enough funding
2) Request to have your donation back, which I am more than happy to do, as I won't be able to use it for at least another year, or
3) Allow me to donate your funds to a deserving animal charity carrying out great work themselves, such as PDSA, Blue Cross or The Dogs Trust.
I will try to contact you all individually regarding the money you donated, as I kept all details of who donated what (bike ride, and random donations). Should I not be able to please do contact me. You can email me sponsoravet.hannah@gmail.com or facebook me or leave a message on here for me to get hold of you, to let me know what you would like me to do with your donation.
I am sad to bring you this post. As you can imagine, I would have very much rather be posting one telling you how excited I was to start vet school, thank you to those who helped me to get there etc etc etc, but unfortunately, as I know well, things don't just work out all that well for us all of the time.
Thank you for staying loyal and supportive throughout this challenge, and please do continue checking my blog, as I will continue to post throughout this years application process, keeping you up to date with my progress.
Thank you all once more.
Hannah
