I am looking for advice from someone who may be dealing with ADHD Predominantly Inattentive (or ADHD or any kind) and how they have managed to cope with the fast pace and work load of veterinary school (I applied and was accepted into dental school but would like to see if there are others in this field who also suffer from the same issue)
I have always found it really difficult to concentrate in class and find that I often had to re-teach my self concepts in my own time... and go at my own pace. In addition, I need to study a lot to do well -- a lot more than the average student. In spite of this, I was able to maintain a decent GPA (3.8) and get into a few dental schools. I now, however, am not too sure on whether the transition from undergrad to dental school would be too great to handle.
If anyone out there has any experiences with ADD - inattentive, or has a friend that is dealing/dealt with it in vet school, please let me know.. I am just uncertain/worried that I will not be able to cope with the work load come this fall and want to make the right decision on whether I really should attend D school this fall.
(you can pm me if you feel as you have any information that would help me)
