Hi everyone, this is my first post. So initially I wanted to go straight from undergrad into vet school, but then I became pregnant with my son. I am graduating with my BS Biology in the fall and have decided to definitely postpone applying to vet school. I've done a lot of soul searching with my partner and even asked vets who did vet school with young children... I know it can be done, but I don't think it's for me.
Ultimately I'd prefer to wait to apply when my son is around 4 or 5 and starting school - I think this would be a better time for our family. But now I'm wondering what I should do in the time in between? I know there's always things you can do to better your chances of acceptance, but I'm trying to decide the best route.
So what would any of you advise for 3-4 years before applying? Master's program? Working as a vet tech? Something else?
Thanks!
