Hey all! I thought I would start a thread for the WCVM U of S class of 2028 hopefuls. What do you think of the changing requirements?

Hi, I'm seeking some advice as a non-traditional applicant. I completed my BA in Psychology and graduated in Dec 2022 with a 3.27 GPA. I worked full time through out my undergrad at multiple small-animal GPs. During my senior year I began working full time as an ER assistant in a well known...

I would like to ask will W on transcripts affect my chances of getting in? I am planning to W a biochem course because I am not doing well and I do not wish to drop my GPA for this. This is not a major requirement or upper division requirement. I already took 2 Biochem courses prior and...

Hello everyone! I am applying for the second time and wanted to apply to as many schools as I can with good programs in what I am interested in studying (zoo/wildlife/conservation medicine). I am from Florida so I am going to apply to UF and I was thinking of also applying to UC Davis and NC...

Hello all! I hope everyone is safe and doing ok! I have a question but first I need to give a bit of background: I went through some things (COVID related things that ended up spiraling out of control, losses happening left and right) and ended up withdrawing in the ninth week of the quarter...

Just like the title says - I am not technically a non-traditional student, but because I decided on vet school late (after my undergrad) I am seriously lacking in a lot of the areas needed for competitive applicants. I did my undergrad in the UK where your courses are predetermined, so I'm...

I'm going into my third application cycle this year for vet school and it's getting to be super draining. I can't seem to get past the waitlist. So if anyone has any recc based on my stats below I would love to hear it! Vet experience: -I am currently an LVT who works in a low cost clinic and...

I'm currently a junior but am concerned about how my chances look of getting into vet school in the future. I would like to mention that I went to community college for two years before transferring, if that affects anything. I am pretty seriously considering going into both large and small...

Hi there! I am a high school senior with plans to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. I applied to the Early Entry Vet Program at Mississippi State this year, but I won't hear back from them until early February regarding admissions. I just wanted to reach out and see if there is anyone...

Hey Everyone! I haven't seen a thread for Edinburgh's vet school so I decided to start it here! I'm personally an American student who applied to the GEP 4 year program and got an interview so I was very interested in hearing from others about this as well--especially does anyone know how many...

So, I recently (as in last semester), decided that I wanted to give pre-vet a second shot. I was originally pre-med, then pre-vet, then gave up both and just decided to graduate as quickly as possible because of the circumstances at the time (I was working 3 jobs to help my family, and suffering...

I'm currently a sophomore and have no vet experience. Last year I dual enrolled full-time, but I had a lot of classes and had a hard time keeping up. I also couldn't drive. Anyway, what's considered a solid amount of hours? How many hours do pre-vet students typically work a year? How do I...

Howdy, I am currently finishing up my non-science undergrad at Texas A&M. I have decided that I want to pursue vet school in the future but have been told once I graduate that it will be difficult to take the genetics and biochemistry courses. I heave seen on here that many people go to...

Does anyone know how vet schools look at animal and vet experience? I have over 1500 hours working with various wildlife rehabilitation centres supervised by RVTs. According to the definition of veterinary experience, none of these hours would count as vet hours because there was no supervising...

Just wondering from some people who interviewed with SMU-SVUM what kind of questions they were asked and how the skype interview process was? My interview is this coming Friday

I'm pretty new to this website but I was hoping maybe some of you guys could give me some advice! I am a high school sophomore and I am very interested in going to vet school. I am lucky enough to have a program at my school that allows me to start college classes in the fall so that I can...

I live in a really small border town, and there are no vet clinics. For volunteer work, I applied in a vet clinic in the nearest town. However, I come from México, I live really close by, and I go there very often. In the border town of México, there is a zoo, a variety of vet clinics, and many...

I need some advice on how to handle quitting a vet assistant job I got at the beginning of November. The doctor that owns and manages the practice, knows the doctor that I also work for as a kennel technician. Some information about what has been going on: I originally reached out the clinic...

I'm a current undergrad sophomore that has had a rough couple of quarters causing my GPA to take a nosedive. I currently have a 3.11 after receiving a C in gen chem over the summer which brought my 3.5 down to a 3.2 and this quarter received a C+ in physics and a C in calculus, I've learned my...

I graduated last December with a BS in Integrative Studies (Journalism, Hospitality, Sociology) from UNT. I really didn't know what I wanted to do so I spent 4 years being lost. The only pre-reqs I have is bio 1 & 2. When I graduated high school I went to TAMU to pursue this career but things...

Hello, This is my first time posting here, for the past month or so I've absorbed as much information from this forum as I can get my hands on. My mind is still jumbled and I could use the advice of people who have gone through the application process... so here goes my long post Last year I...

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...

Hi! I'm a rising senior (and new to this site so I apologize if I'm being annoying) and I would really love advice. I want to be a veterinarian, so I was planning on majoring in Animal Science (does it matter if I major in Zoology or Animal Science?) but my mom wants me to major in Biology 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...

Hello everyone! I was just wondering if anyone could give me any advice on schools to do my undergrad at? I've been accepted to both UBC and USask and have been seriously considering both of them. Ubc is close to home and has a great reputation, whereas the University of Saskatchewan is two...

Hi Everyone! I'm kind of new to posting in these forums, so I'm sorry if this question has been discussed before. I'm currently about to complete my first year of undergrad as a pre vet major, and I'm trying to get as much experience as I can before vet school. I have this amazing opportunity...

Hey guys! I'm applying this upcoming cycle and looking to take Animal Nutrition for NCSU's prereq requirements. I was wondering if anyone had advice on which school to the take the course online through (and cheapest?). I've heard good things about Purdue, but also seems to be on the pricier...

I wanted to make a separate thread on the VC HPSP because I get so many questions about it. So here is the blurb from the official 2017 program guide- Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) Provides a 3 year scholarship for students enrolled in an AVMA accredited DVM or VMD program...

I went to SUNY Oswego for 2 years as a Zoology major, and I have transferred to SUNY Stony Brook in Fall 2016. Since Stony Brook only accepts C and higher, my organic chemistry 2 grade did not get transferred over. So, as a result, I am retaking it and struggling very badly. Here are my chem...

I am in my 4th year of undergrad and I'm still Pre Vet. When ilI tell people that I am still Pre Vet, they have a questionable look in their eyes, like I shouldn't be pre vet. Why? Well, I've retaken the entire gen chem series, have recieved mediocre grades in major classes, and I am...

Hi guys! :):):) I know this question gets asked a lot here but I still need some help getting vet experience. I'm a little late to the party to the whole thing (college sophomore) so I am quite eager to get those vet experience hours. I have been following the advice in the old threads on this...

I saw a thread like this in another part of SDN and could not help but think how relevant it is to those of us that are pre-veterinary. Because many of us are playing the waiting game right now, and we need something to lighten our spirits I'll go first. A nice girl in my o chem lab last year...

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...

I am submitting my application (I little tight on time yes I know) and just want a little input, maybe even peace of mind. I graduated 4 years ago with a BFA in photography, decided recently that I wanted to be an equine veterinarian. I started taking classes last fall. I have two more classes...

Hi all, Im a Minnesota girl looking for vet schools to apply to next year. I'm looking into the University of Saskatchewan. It is out of the states, yes, but it is SO cheap! I realize Canadian universities are all cheap, but if the largest burden of vet school is its economic constraints, why...

Hi!! I'm still in high school, but I know I want to pursue a career with animals. I'm not sure if I should become a zoo veterinarian or a wildlife biologist. I know they're both very different careers, and since I was little I've wanted to be a zoo vet, however now that I'm getting older I want...
