I'm a first-year pre-vet undergrad and wanted to know what is the best summer job that vet schools would like to see, or would give good skills I could bring into the field?

Hi! I just got invited for an interview for SMU! I was wondering what experience some of you may have had either this year or in recent years?

I am a 4th year vet student and I dread every aspect of what we do in clinics. I can't see myself staying in this profession post grad- I honestly cannot wait to graduate and just be done and get out of it. I'm feeling a bit lost as to what my job prospects would be though..Does anyone have any...

Hi everyone! Best of luck with the upcoming application process

Hi everyone, I am currently in a bit of a tie at the moment. I am interested in pursuing both a masters in divinity and a DVM. I know for a fact that I would like to pursue the DVM but I am unsure of wether I should do the MDiv before, after, or at all. I really enjoy theology and studying...

Hi everyone! I'm still waiting to hear if I will be offered an interview for SGU's DVM program. I applied 5 weeks ago and still haven't heard back.

Hello! I am in-state, applying to the DVM @ WSU in Pullman. I believe I have a very strong application, except for my GPA. It is definitely not preferable, with a cumulative gpa of 3.1, and my lower classes (lowest a C) being 100 level science. I am a first time applicant, and I am okay with...

Hello everyone! I am a fourth year at an accredited veterinary school wondering how other schools were handling everything, specifically fourth year students. Were the rest of your rotations cancelled and you will receive your diploma in May? Do you have to go back and make things up after you...

Hello, So I am having mixed feelings about graduating from a vet school that's degree would not make my official title Doctor aka DVM/VMD. I'm an American who's applied to both US and UK/Irish vet schools. I plan to work in the states once I'm licensed. And I just can't help but...

SO. I applied to 10 schools this round and the applications did not go well. I did get an interview at my IS, but I didn't get in. As of right now I have 8 rejections, one alternate, and one acceptance from Ross. I am so excited to be accepted into vet school, but I was really hoping for a...

Hey guys! I know it's a bit early but I've begun my applications to Melbourne and Sydney so I was wondering if anyone else is going through the same process/looking to begin sometime soon! I thought this might be a good place to discuss things if we need to!

Hey guys! First time applicant, and applying to the OVC DVM program as an international student. I did notice that the OVC international admission process is a little different this year. Instead of various interview dates with 45 minute interviews, they are doing MMIs on February 2nd and 3rd...

Hi All, I have a slightly unique situation. I currently hold my B.S. in Finance and have my MBA as well, however after working for a major veterinary company and having pets of my own, I have decided to become a veterinarian. I know starting from scratch won't be easy, but I'm prepared to do...

Hey guys I was wondering if you could give me any advice on how to improve my application for this cycle. I am a non traditional student and had to take a few pre-reqs to be considered last year. I applied last year and got interviewed and waitlisted at tennessee and also waitlisted at UF...

I'm sure the title sparks a lot of "why would you do that?" but hear me out. I started medical school at 28 and long story short, during my third year I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. I was sick a great deal of the time, sometimes requiring hospital admissions, and by the time fourth year...

Hi, I have been looking into the DVM/PhD track for the majority of my undergraduate career and just received word today that I have been invited to interview! I have scoured SDN for more information about the interview process but a lot of it is outdated. Has anyone gone through the process...

Currently I'm working part time jobs while getting core classes done at community (to reduce debt). Getting my associates is taking a long time as it is, due to working so much. I already have taken out 7,000 in financial aid and am not even half way done my associates. My grades are amazing...

So I am a second year veterinary student at the University of Missouri. I'm finishing up with my DVM curriculum before I enter clinics in the fall. I've been trying to juggle veterinary school, a part-time job, and now an MPH degree. Because of the overlap between the veterinary curriculum and...

I had always dreamed of going to vet school...however, working as an RVT in an ER and talking to numerous veterinarians struggling with debt and the lack of gratitude and compassion fatigue/burnout I have shied away from applying to a DVM program. However, I am very interested in the MS of...

I recently submitted my application for DVM class of 2021 at the University of Melbourne around a week ago. I can't wait to hear back from them!

Hello! I'm new to the boards but have already learned so much from going through all these posts. What a great resource! I found a lot of good advice, but nothing for what I was specifically looking for. Here's my (abridged) story (PS, yes, I know my name makes no sense for a DVM hopeful, I...

I work with a 94 year old physician who was devastated today when I told him I was pursuing veterinary medicine instead of human medicine. He then went off to tell me that it was extremely difficult to find a job in small animal practice and that the vast majority end up in a laboratory setting...
