Hey Everyone:
I am wondering if anyone has gotten in somewhere with similar stats...
I have a 4 year degree in Business Administration from 2003. My grades were not good and will be calculated in most schools. It is only 3.0. I spent 10 years working in business but struggled with alcoholism so I wasn't able to stay at jobs for very long. I am now 4 years sober and completly turned my life around...Here are my stats...
Cum GPA (including schools from 10 years ago: 2.95
Last 45: 3.32
Science GPA: depends on school but about 3.1 to 3.4
Things I have had to overcome: alcoholism (2 DWI's only misdemeanor), and ADD.
Experience:
Tons and Tons of volunteer experience in and outside of animal experience
Mission Trip to Mexico 1997-1998
Boys and Girls club, tutor mentor program
Sunday School teacher
and much more
Wildlife center
Zoo internship
therapeutic horse center for kids with disabilities
Followed a bovine vet for a semester
equestrian center intern
volunteer research in Costa Rica for 6 weeks
Biology class in South Africa with school (J term)
Led alcoholism support group
Vet experience:
Bovine vet
Worked at an emergency clinic as a client service rep
Banfield as a vet tech
intern at a equine small animal clinic
about 1040 hrs.
Have a horse, african grey and 2 dogs.
Activities:
Riding (Gymkhana)
sports in high school
Dance captain
What else: 17-18 credits/semester + volunteer or work most semesters
All semesters took summer classes
Pet sitting business owner
