Hey guys! I'm currently a 3rd year and am on track to graduate in the summer of 2020 (in a few months), and I'm also planning to apply for vet school this upcoming cycle.
Does anyone know if graduating a year early puts me at a disadvantage since I technically have "less schooling" than a lot of other applicants. I came in to college with a lot of credits to cover some classes and took multiple courses in the summer to get them done faster.
I have taken all the prerequisites to obtain my biology degree and to fulfill requirements for the vet schools I want to apply to, and was wondering if I should think about staying for longer to take some type of animal related courses? The types of courses that are offered at my school that I would consider taking are: mammology, invertebrate zoology, marine mammal biology, etc. These would all just be "extra classes/electives" for me. I would honestly rather not stay if I don't necessarily NEED to in order to save money from tuition and rent, but if this would boost my chances at all, I would consider staying to take about 3 more courses (an extra quarter). Does anyone have advice as for whether these extra classes would actually have an effect on my applications? Thanks so much! 🙂
