Useful Websites for Applicants

Whilst there seems to be no shortage of help for medical applicants, resources for Vet Med applicants are thin on the ground. I've compiled several links to external websites that you may find it helpful to read. They range from information about the profession, to wider reading suggestions, and I hope you find them useful. All websites are free to access - you can get into vet school without paying extortionate fees to private companies! (I did!)
