Hey there!
I am currently a 2nd year veterinary student and have unfortunately encountered a small rough patch in my life (diagnosed with MS, my mom having cancer, transferring vet schools) leading to my grades not being exactly where I want them to be. I would say that I should end up with all B's (hopefully) this semester - but with the added stress from my friends since I am not performing as well as them has me further in a rut. I LOVE pathology. Am I super good at it? NO! But I love learning about it and believe that I want to pursue a clinical pathology residency after my DVM.
Do I have a chance at getting into a residency without perfect grades? I of course do have extracurriculars under my belt and am looking into doing externships this summer. I also would appreciate any advice that will allow me to pursue my future career goals!
