I recently asked one of the veterinarians I work with for a letter of recommendation. She said she would be happy to and she thinks I would make a great vet, so I’m confident that her letter is going to be great, however she asked me to send her my resume. What am I supposed to put on this...

Sorry if this is a stupid question, just genuinely curious. Today, I found out I wouldn't be able to apply to Mississippi State because I'll have 4 pre reqs in progress rather than the 3 they allow at submission. I've already had to drop UofA, another school I wanted to apply to because they...

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...
