She's already been accepted. She just needs to pass her in-progress pre-reqs.
If you have vet specific courses such as anatomy, physiology, parasitology, biochemistry then you might want to try to learn as much as you can while in undergrad. My last semester of undergrad were these plus microbiology and learning them helped with first year vet school.
Thanks. I was more curious about the mental shift of going from "must get an A" to "so what if I don't get an A." New territory for me. Wondered if others are experiencing the same.
Yeah, I was discussing GPA because (to use NCSU as an example), if she's an OOS student and has a 3.43, she still needs to maintain that GPA to be eligible I believe. So she can't just totally slack off without evaluating the minimum she needs to do to maintain it. If she drops below a specific threshold she may have her offer rescinded, hence my mentioning a GPA buffer.
Interesting. I have never heard this. Is this specific to NCSU?
They have a 3.4 minimum OOS GPA for eligibility. I think IS is 3.0. If you fail to meet specific requirements, yes I believe your offers can be rescinded (I.E. failing a pre req, GPA dropping below, etc).
That makes more sense. I was thinking about it in the terms of you were admitted with X gpa, not in terms of the school having a GPA cutoff
I’m in the exact same boat. I’m in 2 pre-reqs and have been blessed by getting accepted to vet school. I’ve had a 4.0 for the past 3 years, and I’m at the end of my rope so to speak. On the one hand, I feel like it’s important to take some stress away by being okay with something less than an A, but on the other hand, vet school is going to be hard, (very likely harder than these courses) so shouldn’t I be using this semester as practice to prepare myself? A little torn, but really trying to prioritize my wellbeing for this last semester rather than worrying about grades.
i think i'd definitely struggle too because unlike other prereqs (physio, bio, anatomy) physics 2 is neither interesting, easy, or super applicable IMO🤣. I'm hoping the best for you this semester and that you can find rest from the burn-out 😊
Also struggling through physics 2, I'm so disengaged from the class.
It definitely does incorporate a fair amount of physics 1 and 2, but applying it to a resistor circuit is just not doin' it for me. Call me crazy but doing 4 labs in a row with voltmeters, a power source, and a variety of wires and resistors plugged into a breadboard is dull AF. 😬
This is good to know. Honestly with the way my professor teaches, I don't know if I will even learn any of this stuff that may be important for cardiology. The concepts are important but she is trying a new test format this year and almost everyone failed.
I think it’s natural to feel that feeling of ‘awe I got an acceptance’. So yes
I’m so bad at physics. Honestly I hardly ever use it even in research
