I have a feeling there was someone here who was a vet. Or going to vet school? Or someone who has experience getting into med/vet/intense school
( Read more... )
I'm a newly-minted vet (about 2 years out), and happy to help out as I'm able.
3.2 isn't bad- my GPA was 3.75 when I got in. Having experience (and VARIED experience- can't stress that enough) definitely helps. If you can get research or food-animal experience that will help out your application tremendously. Vet schools are always looking for future researchers and food animal vets.
Okay,I think I might be reading this wrong - when you say research you mean research on animals? Like-animal testing? Because I can't be a part of that. And when you say food-animal you mean farms and such? I can deal with small farms, but I can't really do the whole factory farm thing. If that makes sense.
I did have a question about personal statements-I tried finding an example of one but couldn't really get a solid answer.
Oh! And how many schools did you apply to?
And, I might ask you other questions later on. thank you for the help already :)
