I thought I would update....

It has been a year since my breakdown lol. The committee approved my retroactive withdrawal so my 0.0gpa semester is GONE!!(other than the fact that vet schools can still see it).
I still decided to take classes at the local community college just so I can get my mental health in check. I’m currently at my third semester and will be reapplying to UA for fall 2018. I haven’t found medication that works for me but I have been trying and I mostly have my mental health in check.
I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and although applying to vet school is stressful, I don’t feel discouraged. I’m no where near behind than I thought I was.
I honestly didn’t think I would make it last year... I had suicidal thoughts and other negative energy. But I just want to say, it really does get better. I’m not the only person who has gone through this and there are many more people who will.
Let’s just hope I’ll be C/O 2024

Keep it up, I am very happy for you. Life can be full of ups and downs but we all learn how to bounce back and make something of it.
There are some schools that weigh last 45 gpa heavier than cumulative gpa so it is never too late, there is always hope as long as you believe in yourself.

If you ever need someone to talk to feel free to pm me too! I know it can get discouraging sometimes, I barely made it out of college with over a 3.0 and was for sure I won't be able to get in a school but after 3 years out of college I finally did. The admissions team are people too and they will take into account individual circumstances! 🙂

Yay @skaggs123 . Feel free to PM if you ever need. Vet school (and your career after) is fraught with stress, so make sure to have a support system and ways to cope with stress in your arsenal.
