Hey everyone. I was wondering if you guys could be frank about whether I have a shot of getting into vet school.

21 years old, male, California resident

Degree: Will graduate in 2017 with
B.S. in Animal Science, University of Minnesota – Twin Cities

Cum GPA: 3.337
Last 45 GPA: 3.306

Veterinary Experience:
- 5162 hours SA

Animal Experience:
- 3146 hours, LA and SA combined

Research Experience:
- 965 hours

Extra-Curricular:
- Member of the UMN Medical Reserve Coprs

Letters of Recommendation
-University of Minnesota veterinary surgeon/professor
-Boss where I work who is on the vet school admissions committee at UMN
-Veterinarian I work for
-Researcher I worked for


GRE: Not Taken Yet


My concerns:
-My GPA. I got a C my first semester in Chem 1, a C+ in Organic Chem 1, a C+ in Organic Chem 2, and a C+ in Organic chem lab
-I have very limited LA experience


I want to apply this year to: UC Davis, University of Minnesota, NC State, Oregon State, Virginia-Maryland, Iowa State, University of Georgia, UTenn, and University of Wisconsin


I would eventually want to go into neuro-oncology/surgery please let me know if there are any schools that have a strong program in this. Also let me know if there are schools on this list that I have no chance in hell getting into to help me winnow down my list.

If there is anything I left out, please feel free to ask.

Thank you so much!

There's a sticky thread called "what are my chances?" on here; you'd have better luck moving this to that thread.
