prevet

There's a thread like this in Pre-Allo that's always an entertaining read, but I haven't seen one for the pre-vets (I used the search function I swear!). As a community we must have some good stories, right? From vet school or otherwise. My contribution from an interview I had today, since I...

Hello everyone! I was hoping to get some solid advice. I am a 25 y.o. Female from NY. I recently decided to grow a pair and start a track to Vet school. Problem is, I have a BBA in Marketing with a Cum Gpa 2.96. I was considering doing a Post bacc program and KILLING IT, getting...

So i have been fortunate enough to have been accepted to Cornell (IS) and Penn and 5 other veterinary schools that i would not consider over Cornell or penn. I have an interview at Tufts next week and would have to take off two days of work to go to the interview. Is it worth it to go to the...

Have any of you completed a degree, then gone back later to complete just the pre-vet requirements and been accepted to vet school? (Or done just the pre-vet reqs without a degree at all?) I'm over 2 hours from campus, so am currently an on-line student. Finishing my pre-vet reqs would...

Hi, I am strongly considering LSU SVM for veterinary school if I am lucky enough to get in! I was just curious how they're program is as far as getting hands on experience, doing surgeries, etc. I have heard mixed reviews about the clinical years and how students don't even tough an animal...

I'm starting pre vet in the spring. A huge concern of mine is balancing work, school and getting the experience hours I need to apply to vet school. I'm nervous because it's hard to find online science classes due to labs (which are time consuming and makes it harder to work), be able to work to...

Hi there! So I am a retired art student haha at 23. So quick story, I did not want to go to college right after HS because I had no clue what I wanted to do. My parents forced me so I decided to major in Fine arts at the local community college. I did all right, had an internship in Disney...

I'm currently going into my senior year of high school and researching many colleges and universities. Honestly, I'm feeling quite lost and not sure what to really look for. I'm looking for a college in the NJ, NY, MD, PA, or DE area that has a good pre-vet program and others related to equine...

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.

Hi! Welcome to your UCBX pep talk! If you're like me, you're midway through your biochem course thinking "HM, I wonder what I should expect for the final..." So you turn to google or SDN, and what you find might hit your stomach like a sack of bricks. For me, this was real, mind consuming fear...

Hello, I'm a new member and this is my first post! I apologize if this has been asked and covered before, but I was unable to find the answers I'm looking for! Hoping that someone can help me out. I'm currently in the process of taking my pre-reqs for a DVM program. I am just about done taking...

It might not really seem like much, its not but I might finally have an opportunity to get a job working at least somewhat closely with animals. I sent an email to a local pet store owner and he replied half an hour later, asking when I could come in for an interview and how many hours i'm...

Hello - I have gotten myself into a predicament. I am currently a 4th year science student in Alberta and I have struggled with my study habits all of university. I started off first year with a low 2.5 GPA, but I have managed to pull my GPA up to a 3.0 as of this current moment. I do want to...

Hey everyone, I'm currently hounding the internet for any programs/ scholarships that can potentially help me find a job and graduate with lesser debt after I graduate from vet school. I've only found one that I don't qualify for yet. Are there any more that you guys know of? For anyone who...

Probably not the best place to post but I also want vet, pre-vet and vet students opinions. I just don't understand why/ where doctors and health care workers period have/get a god complex. Not only that but I've read stories of doctors/ pediatricians trying to medicate their own animals, along...

Hi Everyone, I'm a bit of non traditional pre-vet student. I graduated 2 years ago, worked for a great company, and have now quit to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian. I'm trying to decide where to take a my prerequisites and would appreciate any advice. I have about 9 total: Chem...

Hi guys, As I have graduated from undergrad, I no longer have the advice of my pre health advisor, so please help. I am planning on applying to AVMA accredited schools OUTSIDE the US (I have heard it is a little easier to get in). Does anyone know about the acceptance rates, pre-requisites...

Hi friends, I hope I am posting this in the right place. I am a newbie to this forum (and forums in general), and learning as I go. After going through some rough patches over the past few years, and re-evaluating my academic and professional goals in addition to what is personally important...

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...

Hi guys! I am a senior in high school and I knew I wanted to be a vet my entire life. I'm taking college classes to get ahead and I'm opting for a bachlor's in biology or zoology. I recently turned vegan and I found that it really conflicts with my desire to attend vet school. I am wary about...

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...

I've gotten myself into a bit of a sticky situation. I'm going into my final year as an undergrad at my university, however I have pretty bad grades and quite frankly hate my school. My GPA is below a 3.0. I've basically come to associate my school with overwhelming anxiety and depression that...

Class of 2021 - Let's get this started!

Hello! UIUC is my instate (so my first choice by default). Can't wait to see/ meet whoever else is applying this year! Btw, I'm a 22 year old female, first time applicant, and recent graduate from college.

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting on this forum, after browsing through what seems like hundreds of threads. As an aspiring veterinarian, I am just wondering if anyone has had any experiences applying to Cornell Vet School's Early Acceptance Program. How competitive is it and what...

So my question is (given all the info below), whats my next move? What should I work on next besides my GRE, more experience, better grades, more diversity, what? I would really appreciate some input. Here it goes: Major: BS in Animal Biology with a concentration in Integrative Animal...

so I'm half way through my second semester in college and the first semester my gpa was a 1.7. I got a C in biology so I am retaking it this current semester. ( the first semester I did have mono for finals time). The first tests of my semester didn't go to well, but I am kicking my ass non stop...

Hello! I'm hoping I don't get chewed apart for this as it's my first time posting on SDN... Ok here we go: So most of my high school career and college career has been geared towards medicine/the sciences, specifically pre-vet. I've always love animals... have about 250 hours of...

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?

If there is already a thread out there similar to this please let me know (and I apologize for a repeat post) I have an undergrad cGPA of a 3.098. I was in grad school for one semester before realizing that I hated the program and wanted to follow my dream instead of my family's. I had a 3.9...

Hello! So if I end up going to an international school I would like to bring my golden retriever with me. However, I am very nervous at the idea of having to put him on a plane, especially that he's too big for me to bring to my seat. Anyone have any experience with pets and planes? Or is anyone...

Hey everyone! Just starting this to connect people who have applied to Western U CVM this year. Applications were due quite a while ago, or so it seems like. Has anyone heard back yet? EDIT: There has already been a Western c/o 2020 forum started. It can be found here...
