So I just graduated with my bachelor's but have a few more pre-reqs to go so I am taking courses this summer and part time in the fall. I have been trying for months to get a job or even just a shadowing opportunity with a veterinarian, but the processes has not been going well. I was initially...

So I know its fantastic to have veterinary experience by either working at a vet clinic or shadowing a vet. I am curious how strict admissions committees are on animal experience vs vet experience. I work at a cat cafe and am counting that as animal experience hours (~2,200 hrs). I know it...

How do you record future hours? Do you: 1) list the start date and the future end date for the date range (ex. 01/2018-01/2019); and 2) record the full hours in the "Total Hours" section?

Dear SDN pre-vets, My husband made this amazing Excel spreadsheet for logging veterinary hours. It's too good to be used by only one person. I have created a gmail account (in the name of my dogs) for the sole purpose of sharing it with you guys, while keeping my identity anonymous. Most...

I'm starting pre vet in the spring. A huge concern of mine is balancing work, school and getting the experience hours I need to apply to vet school. I'm nervous because it's hard to find online science classes due to labs (which are time consuming and makes it harder to work), be able to work to...

I currently only have 1,000 for animal experience (pet care technician for a pet hotel) and 20 from shadowing a small animal practice hospital. I know I need more hours, considering I'm about to enter college. Would my 1,000 hours of animal experience count even though it isn't veterinary...

I would like to have opinions on accelerated courses for someone who already has some background in the health care field and education. My ultimate goal is to complete enough hand on hours to be eligible for PA School. So far I have 450 hours, but need 2000 for one of the schools I want to...

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...

Hi friends, I hope I am posting this in the right place. I am a newbie to this forum (and forums in general), and learning as I go. After going through some rough patches over the past few years, and re-evaluating my academic and professional goals in addition to what is personally important...

I recently decided I want to start pre-veterinary medicine in January. I looked at qualifications to be accepted into vet school and hours/experience was one of them. I recently got a job at a pet hotel/daycare/spa center. What makes me nervous is, it's not a vet setting. This is my first job...

Hi all, I have a rather specific question! I'm a non-traditional student (post bacc) working on her prerequisites to do a biology degree at a four year university (University of Washington). In order to save money as much as I can, I'm working through general biology and general inorganic...
