Thanks for sharing. This was very well-written. For the reasons stated, I did not post on the successful applicants thread. Before I was accepted, I would read others' stats and inevitably feel worse about or question my own. This is not discredit/dissuade anyone from sharing, as the info was helpful in some ways.
 
I admit it is helpful to know since most of us (advisors) take impressions from premed about what one should do. Vet med admissions is much more complicated and a black box and often I don't understand why someone didn't get "enough" experience according to an adcom decision.

By the way, I am working on a new SDN Admissions Guide to Veterinary School. If anyone is interested in commenting on it, let me know. It's not ready for comments, but I appreciate anyone willing to help.

I would love to contribute if possible. I think we've spoken before about how MSAR is a much more useful tool for human pre-med students than VMSAR is for pre-vets. It would be awesome if your admissions guide were a step in that direction.

I'm also up for contributing.
