I really want to be a veterinarian. It's the one career in life I have passion for, but there are a few things standing in my way.
1. I dropped out of college in my third semester due to loss of interest in what I was doing. Quite frankly I stopped giving a **** about what I was going to school to do (Dental ironically enough) As a result my grades started to slip. I also was working a lot trying to support myself, so I didn't have a whole lot of time to study. I had a 3.5 my first semester, my second semester I failed both my chem and math class, and third semester I failed them again. All of my other classes I passed though(mostly A's and B's one or two C's)
2. Due to my fathers income (Er doctor) I apply for hardly any financial aid. I get enough loans to cover tuition, and that's it. I have to cover books out of pocked (my parents do not help me out at all financially) So I have to cover books, rent bills and food all by my self when I do go back to school.
I'm just scared that if I go back I won't be able to afford books, or rent (my rent is pretty high, 450 a month) I'm also worried that with the large workload I'll have to pull to get into I won't be able to work it around my job, at least work it around enough to get enough hours to support myself, let alone cover books.
Is there anyone else who got into vet school with a sub-par GPA. And do you guys have any tips for helping me apply for more financial aid(such as how to be classified as an independent so I can apply for more loans, to maybe cover books and possibly help me with living expenses)
Thanks for your guys support and advice!
