pre-vet

I just don't know where to start. Can someone give me a play by play of how I get a hold of these oppurtunities.

Hi all, I am in somewhat of an uncommon situation, but I'm wondering if anyone here (be it a fellow pre-med, med student, doctor, etc) has switched from pre-vet to pre-med. I am planning on staying in my animal sciences degree since I graduate in three semesters and all of my pre-reqs for med...

I’m a first-year university student, studying for a zoology major, and am aiming for vet school down the line. I’d love to work (eventually) at a zoo or with exotics- I’ve always been really fascinated by marine life, and so my ideal job would most likely be an aquatic veterinarian. Pretty niche...

Hello! I am currently working on my first cycle application to 2 different programs and have some questions, would love some advice, just to feel like I'm submitting the best application that I can. Here is some info about me: I'm a non-traditional student (a 32 year old mother of 2) who has...

Hi there, I have always had a passion for animals and an interest in Veterinary medicine. Over the last decade, I have obtained two college diplomas (one in Law and Security, the other in Culinary Arts). The kitchen has equipped me with a universe of life experience. In highschool I did not...

Hi all, New here and just getting into the nitty gritty for figuring out what I want to do once I resign from active duty. I qualify for 100% GI Bill, and I know that with the Veteran Access/Choice Accountability Act we qualify for in-state tuition at any public IHE. My question is: does that...

Anyone else thinking about applying to Tufts c/o 2023?? This is my second time applying, and I really loved the school when I visited this year!

Hi, i am a student who studies in Singapore and am interested to find out what are people's opinions of Veterinary Medicine versus Human Medicine. I've always wanted to be a doctor since I knew what it was as a child, it has always been at the back of my head. It is like a subconscious thing...

I am planning on applying to vet school in two years (I just have some pre-reqs that I have to take in sequence). I came from an arts background and was unhappy with that and not sure of what I wanted to do. I was thinking about a veterinary career path, so after dropping out of school I got a...

I applied to my IS vet school and was denied. They do not take GPA into account aside from having above a 3.0 GPA. I have veterinary and animal experience, but I guess not enough. I have a high GPA, and in the next cycle would like to apply to vet schools that are more likely to accept me. What...

Out of the schools they got accepted to, they are stuck between Washington State University, University of Tennessee - Knoxville, and UC Davis They have in-state tuition for WSU and UT, but not for UC Davis. They have very little money, and because of the FAFSA being for 2016, they won't get...

Hey everyone! I will be attending Ohio State CVM in the fall and we are required to purchase an iPad Pro. I have decided that I will be purchasing the larger model (12.9"). Now I'm stumped on the accessories!!! I'm definitely purchasing the apple pencil (and Notability app). I am required to...

I've looked around and haven't specifically found the answer, but does anyone know if Cornell takes online classes as pre-reqs for vet school? I've reached out to admissions via email, but havent heard back yet. Long story short: I'm a college drop out from years past with a current (sales)...

So, like my title warns, I have a stupid question but in the spirit of, "there are no stupid questions," lets give it a go! I'm a student, working on my prereq's for vet school and I have a problem—I have a difficult time with blood and guts. I didn't used to but then I had an incident and I'm...

Hi all, I'm a third year pre-vet student facing some tight ends currently. I had a rough freshman to sophomore transfer which, to put it lightly, screwed up a lot of my credits and now i'm struggling to get all my pre-req ducks in row. So far, actually, everything looks good. If my second...

So i have been fortunate enough to have been accepted to Cornell (IS) and Penn and 5 other veterinary schools that i would not consider over Cornell or penn. I have an interview at Tufts next week and would have to take off two days of work to go to the interview. Is it worth it to go to the...

Have any of you completed a degree, then gone back later to complete just the pre-vet requirements and been accepted to vet school? (Or done just the pre-vet reqs without a degree at all?) I'm over 2 hours from campus, so am currently an on-line student. Finishing my pre-vet reqs would...

I am a non-traditional student and plan to leave my career to go to vet school. My first choice school, LMU, does not currently have any sort of insurance based upon the conversations I had during my interview this past Monday. I am too old to be on my parent's insurance anymore so I was...

I applied to UF and they keep sending me FAFSA emails. One line stood out to me in particular, stating, "We recommend completing your FAFSA no later than Dec. 8 to ensure it arrives at UF by Dec. 15." Are we supposed to be applying for FAFSA even though we don't even know which schools we have...

Okay so I'm currently in community college because I dropped out of high school and got my GED. I have 12 credits completed so far since this next semester begins my 2nd year. I'm hoping to transfer after this next year and go to either a 4-year college or University for Pre-Vet because I want...

Hello, would anyone be able to tell me what the non-surgical veterinary specialties are? I am interested in becoming a vet, but am not keen on performing surgery. Would it be possible to make a decent living as a vet with the main focus being on physical rehabilitation? I would appreciate any...

I am thinking about signing up for the online biochemistry course through Kansas State. Has anyone taken this before? Do vet schools accept it? I need a course that has organic chemistry as a prereq. This course lists general organic chemistry as their prereq..does that count? Thanks!

Does double majoring increase your chances for getting into vet school? Or does it look better to focus on one major and a bunch of clinical, volunteer, etc experience? I'm currently a Biology major with a chemistry and astronomy minor, but I don't feel like that makes me stand out very much. If...
