pre vet

I'm currently a Sophomore Pre-Vet student that attends a private, four-year college with an extremely high tuition. I have been looking for ways to for school, make headway on some of my student loans, and support myself in the future. There is an online program through Penn Foster for Vet Tech...

Hi all, I am a student at Rutgers University and I am applying to vet school this year. I had a shaky start with college but built myself up to a 3.4 GPA with a 3.8 last 45 credit semester. I just took my GREs and got a 155 (68%) V 161 (79%) Q and 5.0/6.0 (93%) on the essay. I definitely have...

Hello! I was wondering how heavily the explanation statement will be weighed on the VMCAS website. I had significant health issues through my early years at college leading to an open heart surgery and serious post op complications that lasted a year and a half after. After my surgery I went...

Hi! I've never posted before so I'm not sure if I'm in the right place. I'm a junior at Princeton and was not pre-med or pre-vet until this year (so I'll need to do a post-bac). For this summer, I have a neuroscience research internship at Princeton (not health related) and also a pediatric...

I'm a high school senior looking for where to spend my next 4 years, and now I'm not sure where to go. At first I considered doing the Early Entry Program at Mississippi State and be fine with the student debt (because pre-acceptance to vet school is hard to get). After I got rejected, I now...

Hey all, I'm approaching the end of my first year of my undergrad, but I took 36 credits of college courses in high school, so I "could be" a full year ahead. However, since a lot of my science courses have to be taken consecutively, there's basically no way I'm going to be able to graduate with...

So... I got my GRE scores back, and I'm trying to understand them, so I guess I'm just curious, what is a "competitive" GRE score? I'm trying to see if I need to retake them- and most of the vet admissions websites are vague about their scores.

Can't find one for this year, and I'd like to see how it works out for everyone! I got waitlisted by Mizzou and Illinois, haven't heard anything from either (though U of I just sent out their initial acceptance/waitlist letters, so that's not surprising). How's the waitlist purgatory going for...

Hey guys I was interested in receiving some feedback on the situation I'm in as I couldn't seem to find much information anywhere else. I graduated from my undergrad institution with dual bachelor's degrees in animal science and molecular/cellular biology with a 3.91 GPA. I decided to pursue a...

Does anyone know how vmcas uses repreated courses when calculating gpa? Like do they average the grades together or do they take the highest grade or does it depend on which school you apply to?

Hi! I'm currently a junior in high school, so I've been spending a lot of time looking into colleges and different majors. I would like to become a vet and was wondering what would be the best major to prepare me for veterinary school? I'm really interested in genetics but I'm not sure if that...

Hello.. So I'm a vet student hopeful, I will graduating next fall( hopefully) with a bachelors in Biology. I would like to apply next summer. However I'm really weary about even applying. My GPA isn't strong, I can improve by the end of my undergrad but I won't be anywhere near ~3.6, if all...

Hi! Does anyone know of any post baccalaureate programs for veterinary school? My graduation date is in May 2016, and my current GPA is 2.9. I really want to go to veterinary school but I know that my GPA is very low and I still need to take biochemistry. I have no idea what my plan is other...

I realize I'm hella early for making this, but I'm curious to see who else is already thinking of the 2017 cycle. A little bit about myself... I've been debating about vet medicine for the past 4 years, I graduated with a BS in Biology and a BS in Animal Behavior in 2014, and since then became...

So I have around 50 credit hours of undergraduate for a degree in biology. My ultimate goal is to be a veterinarian so I take my grades very seriously averaging straight As and about 2 Bs. However, this semester I had a lot of things happen that just turned my life upside down (death of a family...

Hi everyone! I have never posted here but I was wondering if anyone had ever gone through the 6yr grade elimination offered by Missouri and Illinois, or if any other schools offered it. I'm a non-traditional student, currently 26 and will probably be 27 or 28 by the time I apply. I went to CC...

Hi! I've never posted here but I saw a lot of people helping out with advice so I figured I would try, I'm sorry because I know this seems to be a real common question. I am not the typical pre-vet student, I am 26 (will be 28 at time applying) so a little older than most people applying I...

Hi! I am a current freshman at college majoring in Cellular and Molecular Biology with Pre-Vet intentions. I am beginning to panic slightly and would really like to hear some opinions from people who have been through this. As of right now all of my classes are going fine except for Biology...

I have an interview at Midwestern University on 10/21/15. Anyone who has already interviewed with them that has any tips it would be greatly appreciated? I know I read that the questions mainly focus on the essays I was wondering if there was anything else I needed to know?
