20 year old, female, AZ resident, first time applicant
Looking for any application advice for next year
Cumulative GPA: 3.7
science GPA: 3.6?
last 45: not sure yet
GRE results: Don’t plan on taking
Veterinary Experience:
-Veterinary assistant SM clinic, this is my current job (~200 hours, 20 hours a week)
-Shadowing at SM hospital (8 hours)
I will be shadowing an equine vet for a few weeks later this summer. I’m not sure how many hours this will be.
Animal Experience:
-Volunteer at zoo (~80 hours)
-Volunteer at humane society (~45 hours)
-Cat shelter (~9 hours)
Starting to volunteer at a livestock rescue this summer.
Research Experience:
None
Awards/scholarships:
-President Honors Scholarship (full tuition at cc)
-CC honors program
Extracurriculars:
-Phi Theta Kappa (member)
Employment:
- Office assistant at exotic vet hospital (7 months, 10 hours per week) I mainly stayed in reception but on occasion I would watch procedures, help with rooms, and help in the kennel area. Not sure where to put this.
- Fast food worker (2 years, manager for 1.5 of those years, ~25 hours as a crew member and 35-45 hours per week as a manger)
My main concern is my lack of veterinary hours. I plan on applying next application cycle, so I still have some time. However, I was looking for some general advice on how to improve my application in the meantime. I know it is not very developed. I decided I wanted to pursue becoming a vet this year. My other concern is that I have 2 Ws (trig and Gen chem 2) on my transcript and 2 Cs (gen chem 2 and the other in an anatomy course). How much will this hurt my application?
I attended community college for the first two years of my degree and I am going to a 4 year university this fall.
