Hello guys, just as the title says I'm in a unique position where I believe my application is pretty solid except for animal experiences.
I have a cumulative GPA of 3.77, with last 45 Sem/68 Qtr units GPA of almost a 4.0.
I have about 400~500 veterinary and research experience.
My GRE is on the average, and I believe my eLORS, Personal Statement and Supplemental Essays are pretty solid too.
The problem is, my animal experience, is around ~200 or less.
I am applying this upcoming cycle, and was wondering how much this will hurt me as an applicant. I just realized how short I was on animal experiences, and feel stressed because this is usually the part where a lot of applicants have plenty of hours. I don't think I'm going to take a gap year just to gain more animal experience but was wondering how valuable schools considered "animal experience" over other factors. Thanks in advance.
