Hey, everyone! I'm a non-traditional student applying for the first time. My plan in college was to become a chemist for the Air Force, but the Air Force had other plans for me as a program manager. Even though program management wasn't my cup of tea, I'm much more confident in what I want in...

I am getting started on my applications and just wanting to see if anyone would be able to give me some advice. Like what kind of stories would be good and what would be bad? For example, if they want me to describe a situation about something, but did not specify vet or non-vet related, which...

Hi all, I applied this cycle to a few schools but unfortunately did not get in. Therefore, I will be reapplying this cycle to mostly the same schools. I have contacted the schools and the vast majority of them have remarked that my GPA is my reason for not getting an admittance offer. Since I...

Hey applicants! Anyone taking the CASPer this cycle want to practice together? Reply or PM. Good luck everyone!

Hey all! So I haven’t even applied yet but I just want to hear more about schools. I’m applying to UF LSU Arizona and for ****s and giggles I’m applying to Cornell (though I 100% will never get in) I just want to hear from people the pros and cons of each school if you go to or went to any of them.

Has anyone joined a post-bac program before vet school? I'm graduating this year and plan to apply for the Fall 2023 cycle, so I will have a gap year. I just got accepted to the post-bac NIH IRTA program to do research at NIH for 1 year. However, the lab that hires me focuses on clinical trials...

We are few and far between, but calling pre-vet students from SC! Being from a state without a vet school, what is your plan for your vet school application? How have you met other pre-vets, and what school do you currently go to? Let’s talk!

Hello, I am currently a sophomore pre-veterinary student and I am struggling. I did pretty well for my first year of undergrad last year finishing with a 3.57 GPA. This semester has been a different story however. In the first month of school I had an unexpected surgical procedure and I went...

So I have just been accepted to University of Pennsylvania Vet school! I am so excited and honored, but the thing is I am having a hard time with the price. I am in a bit of a hard place because I was rejected from everywhere else and got waitlisted at VA-MD. I am toying with two options: go to...

I figured I would copy and paste this from last year because this really helped me last year when perfecting my essays as a second time applicant! :) Since VMCAS opened back in January for this current cycle, that means there's much more time available for applicants to have their essays...

Hi everyone! I was looking for advice from anyone who has applied for vet school more than one time. I'm a nontraditional student who has been in the field since 2008 (I'm 28), and I have a BA in theatre (2017) and my RVT license. I have a truckload of experience but a science GPA of 3.2, a...

Hi! I am a senior at UGA and I'm finishing up my rec's now. I am worried about my chances because of my GPA. I have about a 3.2, 3.4 sGPA. I still have a chance with this last year to pull that up some but not really that much so I will likely end at most at a 3.3overall and 3.5sGPA. I have been...

Hello everyone! I had posted this forum back in may when I was putting my application together, however I thought I would post some updated stats now that my applications are submitted in hopes that you all would have some input on my chances! I am a pre-vet student at a small liberal arts...

Hi, I’m really curious to see if there are pre-vets out there who have tried volunteering during this pandemic. Not very few vets were available for shadowing in my area, and I want to start as soon as possible. Are there any virtual shadowing options?

I am a student at the University of Missouri and am trying to set up my schedule so that I am able to apply to as many vet schools as possible. I have looked at the course requirements for a good amount of vet schools but I have no idea if the courses that I am taking will match up with them...

Hi! So, I was planning on applying to vet school this cycle but I have been getting rather discouraged at my lack of variety of experience. I’m a Nevada resident hoping to apply for WICHE (if it doesn’t get defunded). I was hoping to apply to the WICHE schools (CSU, Oregon, WSU, and Midwestern)...

Hello! I am currently a sophomore in college and I am on track to graduate a year early (spring 2021) so I am applying to vet school this summer. I have two advisors giving me different opinions on my chances at certain vet schools, one says I need to apply to 9 different vet schools because my...

Congratulations to those who have heard happy news already! Please post your stats to help other applicants as the acceptances roll in. The format from years before is posted below. Age, Gender, State/Country of Residence, Traditional/Non-traditional applicant, # of times you've applied...

Hello all, I am wondering if anyone would be willing to give me an advice, tips, words of encouragement, etc. I am a 24 year old undergrad student with one year left after this semester ends. I plan to apply to vet school possible next year. My current GPA is 3.66, but after this semester I am...

Hello! I am currently a senior looking to apply to vet school in hopes of becoming a vet pathologist afterwards. I think my stats are pretty good other than having no animal experience. I have a 3.8 cGPA, 4.0 sGPA, and 4.0 GPA over the last 3 semesters. I am taking the GRE soon and my practice...

Hello everyone. I am a first year vet student that didn't pass anatomy by one point. The end result: dismissal from CVM. The faculty of CVM appeared to be supportive and offered to help me deal with this before I petition to be readmitted in fall 2020. In the mean time, I am required to take...

Hi I didn't take highschool chem and wound up with a D in Chem 1. I'm doing grade forgiveness, which will save my gpa from being affected. However, Im pretty sure the D will stay on my transcripts. How do vet schools factor this in? Do they calculate what my gpa would be with the D in there?

Hi everyone! I’m finishing up the second semester of my freshman year of undergraduate as a pre-veterinary major and it seems like it has flown by! Although I have gotten good grades and gotten involved in many extracurriculars this year, I am often left wondering if I am doing enough to stand...

Do y’all know what schools don’t consider overall science gpa. What schools just look at their required course for science grades? My science gpa overall is horrendous. Also, what schools are leaning more towards experience than gpa?

Didn’t see a thread for this and I have some questions. I am specifically looking to talk to a current Ross student who has a dog on the island. If you match the description and are willing to talk with me let me know! I would be very grateful!

Hi everyone! I'm currently a second semester freshman majoring in pre-veterinary sciences and have a few questions about undergraduate grades. First semester was great and I made a 3.75 GPA, I was a member of pre-vet club and was very optimistic about going to vet school. I've always had very...

Hi guys! I hope I am posting this in an appropriate place! I'm going to be applying to veterinary school this cycle and had a question about what counts as experience. I've gathered that most anything involving live animals (other than just owning pets, except if you are giving medical...

So, I'm a senior right now, studying for my finals and this semester I've found really hard. Attending class and focusing in class had been tough, and this will probably be the worst of my semesters. I actually think I might be just slightly burning out and I'm heavily considering a gap year...

I started off freshman year great. I'm a biology major. I had a 3.7 gpa first semester. Second semester rolls around, i'm in 100% science classes and a psych class, and I end up with straight C's and a cumulative gpa of 2.7. I'm SO disappointed in myself even though I did work really hard; but I...

Does anyone have experience on how schools calculate GPA when you have Graduate courses? I am currently in an MBA program and am having trouble finding out if the masters GPA will be factored in. Thanks!

Hi all, Officially applied... now just need to do the Supplemental form. Has anyone done this already? Just curious as to what they ask on it, want to make sure I’m prepared since you can’t save/edit/re-open once you start it. Curious as to what they ask on it

just on average.
