<human>: It's been my sister's dream to be a vet since she could talk. She applied for the only university that offers veterinary science for next year and, after being told she would be contacted "in due course", she eventually had to contact them only to find out that her application had been rejected.

She has a brilliant CV, including work experience, community service (volunteering as a paramedic and at various animal shelters and the local vet), leadership roles and experience as well as finishing high school with excellent marks in Biology, Mathematics, English and doing well in all her other subjects. She has also completed a year of university (she chose Chemistry and 2 foreign languages as her courses).

The reason she was given for her rejection was "high volume of applications received and strong competition".

She is absolutely devastated and I am sure there is *something* she can do to get in, as I know from personal experience that even if one is told that all spaces are filled, it does not necessarily mean it's true.

Reddit, please advise me what further steps my sister can take to get into vet school.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: My sister is smart, driven and passionate about helping animals. Her application to study veterinary science was rejected. What further steps can she take to appeal for reconsideration?
