So I've been accepted into vet school but am having doubts.. Over the past couple years in undergrad I've gotten light headed about 10 times I suppose? Some of which were just spay/neuters.. I decided to apply anyways but struggled with the idea I'd over come it. I mean let's face it, blood, guts and pus isn't for everyone. I work in a emergency hospital but I tend not to assist surgeries so I never realized I wasn't over my squeamishness (it had been a while since I've seen something I suppose). And last week I felt light headed on two occasions-- during laceration repairs. I know, you've got to be kidding me. And once I think I'm going to get light headed, I can't stop it.
How the heck am I going to go to vet school this Fall and be nearly passing out? It's seriously embarrassing and the feeling when it happens IS HORRIBLE. I've read a lot of the "oh you'll get over it" and done a lot of my research but I'm not a pre-vet student anymore that has time to sort this out. I don't have the time to 'get over it.' And I really don't want to go and feel dizzy at vet school... I have a back up plan that I would be happy doing (as long as I can find a job.. heh..) but it's kind of hard to let go of something you've worked hard for, it's almost become an attachment of the challenge. And because of this whole lack of an iron stomach, now I'm totally uninterested in putting the endless hours of studying in and 5 exams per week for something I'm unsure of.
I also feel like a phony to the people who have wrote my recommendations and that they wouldn't understand if I didn't go. If I get my MA first, and decide not to go this Fall, does that make it horrible if I decide to again in two years? Will I not be able to apply to the same schools? Will they frown upon me because I got in but wanted to do something else first? It looks like I never wanted it if I decide to reapply in a couple of years? That is another huge concern for me.. But i've also heard it is easier (ugly word because we all know applying is anything but) or less of a challenge for graduate students to get into vet school as long as they've done well?
Help me!!!
