pre-veterinary

I wanted to make a thread for reapplicants so we can share advice, discuss our shortcomings, and celebrate our successes! I’m a 2nd time applicant (1st time was last year), and I have some questions about how to go about preparing the written portion of my application. I applied to a number...

Hi everyone! I have been looking for something like this to make me feel not-so-alone on this difficult journey, and I am hoping I can help others on theirs. I am about to be 28 years old in the beginning of March and this is my 4th application cycle. In all of my cycles, I have not once...

Hi all! I am President of the Pre-Vet Society at my college and I have a question. I have a freshman who would be applying as a Connecticut resident in a couple years. Are there any contract seats or similar opportunities for Connecticut applicants? If you are applying as a Connecticut resident...

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

I’m 22 y/o CA resident. I did a WAMC before but I changed some stuff a bit and also have a major concern now. Really wanna stay close to CA so I’m applying to Oregon, Arizona, UC Davis, and WesternU. Cumulative GPA: 3.7 science GPA: 3.68 last 45: 3.84 BS in Molecular and Medical Microbiology...

Hi! I’m a third year, Hispanic male student studying Integrative Animal Biology at USF. I currently have a 3.57 GPA and am a resident assistant on campus, but have no applicable vet experience, due to the pandemic really limiting my opportunities in the area. I had grade forgiveness used as I...

Creating this thread for the upcoming UGA CVM application cycle! This will be my third time applying to the program! UGA is my dream school. Has anyone that has been rejected by UGA reached out to talk to Parker about what you need in order to strengthen your application? I have obviously done...

Hello, I am only just beginning my journey towards applying to vet school. I'm preparing to leave my current career (Environmental consultant) and have been looking for jobs in the veterinary field. Before I can apply, I'll have to go back to school to fulfill some prerequisites and get...

Hello, I'm currently a 22 year old undergrad in my last semester hoping to apply for the 2021-2022 cycle. I'm applying this year because I needed the gap year to continue gaining more experience and saving up for the transition. I plan on only applying to OSU, maybe Ross (they partner with my...

Hi Everyone!! I'm a current applicant and starting to second guess applying this year. My GPA is around 3.4 overall, but hoping to be closer to a 3.5 after this semester. My last 45 credit hour GPA will be 3.8. I have over 1,000 hours of equine veterinary experience from a summer internship, a...

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! 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...

Hello everyone, I feel a bit awkward voicing this to an online forum, but I feel like the only advise that will calm my anxieties would be from other pre-vet students, or current veterinary students/veterinarians. I'm currently an incoming senior biology major, and my lifelong dream has been to...

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 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?

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...

Starting this off as a continuation of last year's thread so we can post where we're waitlisted, what number rank we are, and what schools we have yet to hear from. And to update each other when people start getting pulled off the waitlist! I'm an alternate at Western (no number rank) and...

Hi everybody! I'm a senior animal science student with a deep interest in pursuing dairy production medicine. I've been accepted into both Cornell and UC-Davis c/o 2023. Now I'm struggling to choose between the two: both great schools, but can you answer some questions that might help me...

Alright, everyone. I'm posting this over in the Pre-Med world because I want their opinions, too. I've reached what I'm calling my quarter life crisis because I'm stuck in a weird place. I'm going to be brutally honest here because I need brutally honest feedback. I was accepted to a few vet...

Alright, everyone. I've reached what I'm calling my quarter life crisis because I'm stuck in a weird place. I'm going to be brutally honest here because I need brutally honest feedback. I was accepted to a few vet schools a few years back coming out of undergrad. Strangely enough, when I was...

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...

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

I really want to go to school to be a veterinarian. My situation is as follows: I am a 27 yo female. In 2015 I graduated with a BS in Biology. This just happens to be a coincidence because I never really thought of going to school to become a vet until some time in my junior year, I just loved...

just on average.

I know it's super early but I thought I'd start a thread for this upcoming application season because I'm just so excited! T-3ish months until applications start!!:p

Hello. I just wanted to know if it would be a bad idea to go to a school that offers a degree in vet health science and vet technology and not major in either if I might want to be a vet. I originally choose the school for this specific major but am beginning to have second thoughts due to the...

I'm taking human anatomy & physiology in my undergrad but in my current shadowing position at a veterinary surgical clinic I feel I would appreciate surgical procedures better if I had a more thorough understanding of, in my case, canine and feline anatomy and some basic physiology. I have been...

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...

Hi all, I recently received my acceptance call from Ross and I have been accepted into the January class of 2023, however I will be attending in January of 2019 I was wondering if anyone else will be attending Ross University at this time, as I'd love to get in contact with some fellow...

Hi all, So I'm currently a Master's environmental science student with a focus on wildlife health and biology. I'm also a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. I've worked as a wildlife assistant and technician in varying capacities over the past 6 years and I've racked up a lot of professional...

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...

Hey Everybody! Starting the Waitlist forum. Say what school you are waitlisted at. I'm waitlisted at CSU. Who else is with me? Has anyone heard how that waitlist moves? In-state vs Out-of-state? The most important when you hear let us know so everyone can celebrate with you!
