I'm a senior at Ohio State University and applied to Vet School this summer. I applied to Ohio State, Iowa State, UW, University of Pennsylvania, and U of Illinois. I'm not feeling too confident about getting accepted anywhere because my grades aren't the best (I lost my dad my first year of college and received mostly Cs in my upper level courses and it KILLED my GPA). I received a rejection letter from Iowa State yesterday and I'm assuming there are 4 more coming soon. If I don't get accepted this year, I want to re-apply next year, but I'm honestly not sure what to do in the mean time. Do I retake some course I didn't do so well in, do I try to find more internships to gain more experience, do I get my Master's, do I find a job? I think I have enough experience, I've studied abroad in South Africa working with rhinos, interned at the Columbus Zoo and worked around gorillas, bonobos, orangutans, leopards, etc., volunteer at a primate sanctuary, worked at an animal hospital all summer, volunteer at a wildcat sanctuary, performed research last school year working towards naming a new species, hold leadership positions in both my sorority and the zoology club I'm a part of, the list goes on. I'm really at a loss for what I should do and would love some guidance!
(Also, my OSU gpa is a 3.26, cumulative from my last college and OSU is a 2.99, and my science GPA is a 2.97 for reference)
