prevet advice

I recently graduated and want more than anything to go to veterinary school. However, I'm concerned about my chances because I have a major red flag on my application: I received an academic integrity violation early in my senior year in a prerequisite course, as I cheated on an exam. While I...

Hello everyone! I’m a 20F Texas Resident applying for the first time this cycle! I would really like to do either small or exotic animal medicine so any advice would be really appreciated, especially since I’m worried about my GPA and hours. Cumulative GPA: 3.6 science GPA: 3.5 last 45...

I’m from MA, so the only school near me is Tufts. Originally, I was thinking 3-4 schools maybe 5, but I keep going back and forth. Half of me wants to drop my eggs in one basket (did I say that right?) so I can go to my top school. The other half of me just wants to get the application process...

Hi all! I'm hoping to apply to vet school this summer. As I was looking back on my transcript I noticed I received a C- last fall in Orgo 2 I don't know why it didn't register it was this low until now, all this time I remembered it being a C+/B-. In past semesters (prior to the C-) I've...

Hi all, How important is undergraduate research if I’m interested in pathology? I’m already a senior, and I’m feeling a little discouraged. I only contributed to some research but am not on the way to publishing anything on my own or being a second author. Thank you!

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...

Hello! I’ve posted in here before, but recently I’ve had to rethink the schools I’m applying to. I’m a Nevada resident, and I’m applying OOS to all these schools because it was just announced Nevada is not supporting the WICHE PSEP program this year. :( I still want to apply to Washington...

My science gpa was already bad, not horrible, but recoverable. 2.7 Bs in Bio a C in Chem 1 and a B in chem 2. I had a B in orgo in the beginning of the semester, but once we went online, it became really hard for me to focus and learn at home. Anyway the material hasn't all stuck since we...

Hi! I know there is a giant UNE thread discussing the online courses available through the University of New England, but I didn't have any luck finding information about which schools accept these courses and which ones don't. I know it's best to email every school, but wondered if anyone had...

Hi, so I’m graduating from UF with a B.A. I didn’t know I wanted to apply to vet school and didn’t take it seriously until now. So I’m planning to finish all my science pre-reqs at a local college. It’s going to take me around a year and a half. But I plan to volunteer at a vet clinic. My Gpa as...

Hi everyone, I need advice on whether or not I should be re-taking pre-req classes to raise that gpa, even if I am going to have an advanced degree (MS Biology) before applying to vet school. I received my B.S. in Biology last December. I have a few C+s, one B- : Organic Chemistry 1 & 2...

My overall GPA is 2.65, I failed intro to chem and chem 1 in the past and just passed Organic chemistry 1(1st try) and in the process of taking organic chem 2 now (aiming for an A or B). I Know my GPA is horrible and will be the...

Hello! I am strongly considering taking a leave of absence from my college for the spring semester. It is probably important for me to mention that I am a commuting student who has always worked while in school. So here is why: 1. If I get accepted to any of the schools where I have interviews...

Hello all! I wanted to share my experiences and stats and hear from you all about how you think my standing is for applying next cycle and what I could do to improve my chances! Thank you in advance to those who reply! My cumulative gpa is at 3.94, I’m not sure on where my last 45 credits gpa...

Hey everyone! I just finished my first year of undergrad and I didn't have a job or internship during the school year because I wanted to give myself a year to focus on academics. Now that the year is over I have an internship at a local small animal hospital where I intern for 18 hours a week...

Hi, I'm a Sophomore. This semester I started off taking Calc 1, Chem 1, and Bio 2 with labs. I ended up withdrawing from Calc. Over half the class failed the first exam and it was just a mess. I thought could manage through Chem 1 without hs / intro to Chem. This was a big mistake, and I'm going...

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...

I'm new to this site, but my SO is a pre-veterinary student. He is currently waiting to hear back from his vet school of choice and the stress/strain it is putting on our relationship is crazy sometimes. We have the same major (animal sci) and I have a science/animal background because of it, so...

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...

I am a graduate from Santa Clara University with a Bachelor's degree in Biology, and I am currently applying for Vet Schools for the 2019 application cycle. I am planning to apply to 13 vet schools in total. My question is regarding how Vet Schools actually look at the GPA you would earn form a...

Hello everyone! Amazing to see a place full of people like me. I have some questions that others who have possibly gone through this could help me with. UC v. CSU I have just started at a CC in California. There is an ADT- Associate Degree for Transfer/ AS-T- Associate's in Science for...

Hi, I am starting college in the summer on a pre-vet track with a Bio major. I just recently decided to go to vet school after my undergrad and i am very nervous about it. I have researched all pre reqs and requirements for vet but I feel like I am not completely aware of what i have to do. I...

I had in interview 3 weeks ago with St. Georges University (Grenada) Vetmed. I know it says on the website that you usually hear back in 2 weeks but that they will keep in touch. I'm wondering if i don't hear anything in another week should I try to follow up? or is that not a good idea..? I...

Any questions/concerns/ranting about VMCAS **for the class of 2022. I obviously need to work on rereading what I wrote before I hit enter.

I have a school that I dream of going to. It is less than two hours from my hometown so I will be close to my family. It does however have higher requirements than other schools I plan to apply to. If I get accepted to the other schools but not my dream school, is it crazy to wait until the next...
