These case studies illustrate individual families' experiences of working with us. Admissions decisions are always made by universities, and outcomes vary depending on each applicant's profile and circumstances.

THE VETTA METHOD

Six stages. One continuous strategy.

Vetta is not a series of unconnected sessions. It is a single method, applied in order, from the first decision through to the final interview.

01

Assess

Align the applicant’s profile, motivation, and the realistic range of courses and universities.

02

Position

Identify the strongest application strategy for this specific candidate, rather than a generic one.

Identify the strongest application strategy for this specific candidate.

03

Prepare

04

Train

Develop interview reasoning, ethical judgement and clear, composed communication.

05

Stress-test

Challenge the weak points under realistic pressure, before an admissions panel does.

06

Refine

Enter the application process with a clear, defensible strategy and the weak points already tested.

Questions

What families ask first.

Short, honest answers. For anything else, send us a question below and we will reply by email.

Is Vetta Education linked to the NHS or any university?

No. Vetta is independent, with no affiliation to, or endorsement from, the NHS, the GMC, UCAS or any university. Admissions decisions are made by universities alone, and no offer, interview or admission outcome is guaranteed.

Who writes the materials and runs the sessions?

Dr S Farooq, MBChB, BSc (Hons), a UK doctor. He writes the guides, mock MMIs and Handbook, and runs every session himself.

Can a student use the mock MMIs without paying or signing up?

Yes. All six mock MMIs are complimentary and need no account. Answers are saved on your own device unless you choose to download or send your record.

Do sessions include medical advice?

No. Sessions are educational admissions guidance only. No medical advice is ever given.

Who takes part in a session?

Sessions are one-to-one with the student. Parents are kept informed and are always welcome to join.

Where should we start if we are unsure?

Start with a complimentary mock MMI and your school’s guide. If you then want a doctor’s view of the whole application, the Applicant Diagnostic gives you a written plan, the Interview Handbook and a personal statement review.
