vet school application

Hey everyone! I'm currently studying in a non-science degree now (1st year, middle of 2nd semester) because I chickened out at the last second last year due to the high school fees for vet med, and I wanted to choose something that allowed me to have the money and time to contribute to animal...

I have wanted to be a vet as long as I can remember and since middle school have been working towards getting into vet school. Living in a rural area there are very few vets, and even less that are willing to allow people to shadow. And very few places to get animal experience, so must of my...

Hello! I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with schools that would/wouldn't accept online coursework and labs? Long story short I took two years in person at Penn State while pursuing a liberal arts degree, but withdrew from college for 3 years since I wasn't sure what I was really...

I am in high school, planning to apply to UK vet schools and am currently trying to get as much experience as possible. I've recently found 2 potential work experiences and both of them seem quite appealing, so I'm having trouble choosing between them. (Both non-clinical animal experiences, as...

I am getting started on my applications and just wanting to see if anyone would be able to give me some advice. Like what kind of stories would be good and what would be bad? For example, if they want me to describe a situation about something, but did not specify vet or non-vet related, which...

So I am currently waitlisted, but trying to prepare myself for re-applying this cycle. With that being said, I worked very hard on my personal statement last cycle. Would it be frowned upon to use it again? I plan to write new responses to all of the individual essays of course, but wasn't sure...

The cycle has opened for the class of 2028 and below is the obligatory unsolicited advice post that is necessary every year. These points are based on the most common questions that seem to roll around every year. 1. Consider yourself rejected until you receive an acceptance. As such, do not...

Hey y’all! First time OOS applicant to MSU. Didn’t see a thread started yet so I thought I would make one! Good luck everyone!

I would like to ask will W on transcripts affect my chances of getting in? I am planning to W a biochem course because I am not doing well and I do not wish to drop my GPA for this. This is not a major requirement or upper division requirement. I already took 2 Biochem courses prior and...

We are few and far between, but calling pre-vet students from SC! Being from a state without a vet school, what is your plan for your vet school application? How have you met other pre-vets, and what school do you currently go to? Let’s talk!

I noticed there wasn't a WCVM thread this year, so I went ahead and made one! Let me know if there is one already :) I'm applying for the first time this year and would love to chat with others also applying, or people who have already gotten in. Does anyone know if point-form is ok for the...

Hello everyone, my name is Sarah! I am a junior in college about to apply to veterinary school and I am so excited, but I have a question regarding experience for vet school. I have volunteered at this animal shelter since 2018 and decided I wanted a job in the vet department. Once I talked to...

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...

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...

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...

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting. I recently took the At Home GRE and my (unofficial) scores were not as high as I was hoping. A 293 overall :/ As far as writing goes, I think that section went okay. Many schools I'm looking at applying to no longer require the GRE or waived it due...

I'm currently a junior but am concerned about how my chances look of getting into vet school in the future. I would like to mention that I went to community college for two years before transferring, if that affects anything. I am pretty seriously considering going into both large and small...

Hi guys! Super nervous in this awkward waiting situation. Wondering which schools have sent out interview invites so far? I copied from c/o 2020 because I am too lazy to change it. If someone wants to edit out Schools that do not interview you can, but this is the comprehensive list from that...

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...

I am an undergrad student who doesn't need to take animal physiology to graduate. However its a required course for some vet schools. Does anyone know if you can be enrolled at two universities (one of them online). I'm not sure if I need this course to transfer to my current school to...

Hi, new member to the forum. A little background about me: I have been working as a vet tech for about 2 years in a small private clinic with long term goals of being a vet (I applied last year and didn't get in, so pre reqs are all done, just have to retake the gre in the future). Wanted to...

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, I have a slightly unique situation. I currently hold my B.S. in Finance and have my MBA as well, however after working for a major veterinary company and having pets of my own, I have decided to become a veterinarian. I know starting from scratch won't be easy, but I'm prepared to do...

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

Hey guys I was wondering if you could give me any advice on how to improve my application for this cycle. I am a non traditional student and had to take a few pre-reqs to be considered last year. I applied last year and got interviewed and waitlisted at tennessee and also waitlisted at UF...

Hi everyone, I am a non-traditional vet school applicant. Does VMCAS use the most recent 45 credits in ANY program (e.g., a Masters program), or is it the final 45 of undergrad? I just finished an MPH and the GPA situation is much prettier than undergrad... *laughs nervously*
