Hi - so I'm kinda new to this, but here goes:
I'm a Junior at WashU in St. Louis, and for the longest time I was pre-med, even though deep down I wanted to be pre-vet (family pressure and stuff). I've finally decided to go my own way and go pre-vet! But I'm at a loss for what's next. I currently volunteer at an animal shelter, and I've reached out to some animal hospitals and clinics to see if I could shadow or intern there. I'm completely new to this pre-vet thing, and I'd like some advice.
Also, I struggled with a medical condition for my first two years of college, so my GPA is currently 3.25. I plan on raising it this year and senior year, now that my condition is under control, and I also plan on taking a gap year, because I'm not sure I have enough science courses to go to vet school (I'm a Spanish major, with a bio minor). But I'm still really worried, because I know that vet school is even more competitive than med school admissions...
Any suggestions on where to go and what to do next?
