I will be applying fall 2016. I have yet to take the GRE but I am planning on taking it sometime over the summer. I have job shadowed five separate veterinarians and documented what surgery I witnessed and when.
My hours are:
volunteer at animal shelter: 70
volunteer at equine center: 65
sheep experience: 60
working at a vet clinic in a kennel: 650
employment in an animal science laboratory: 94.5
I'm not sure on the exact hours of veterinary experience. A lot of them will come from my current job.
I am currently employed as a veterinary assistant. My research project should begin this summer (which will give me research experience and more hours in the animal science lab). I want to get my volunteer hours up. I'd also like to job shadow a corporate vet and a shelter medicine vet. I have experience with research vets and private practice vets. I'm hoping to get an internship next summer with a zoo.I am also secretary of the pre-vet club for the year coming up. My cumulative GPA is a 3.0 but I hope to get that up to a 3.5 when I go into the fall 2015 semester. I will graduate in spring 2016.
My concerns are that It's taken me 6 years to get my bachelors. I attended a community college for three years and received an associate of arts and an associate of science. I have been at the university ever since. I didn't 100% know that I wanted to pursue a DVM degree until this year.
There is not a vet school in my home state, I will be applying to:
Wisconsin, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tufts, Colorado, Oregon, Michigan, Kansas
My questions are:
How do you think I could improve my chances over the next year?
Will I be penalized for taking 6 years to get a bachelors?
