Quick Question:

Does anybody know of anyone getting into vet school with just completiving pre-req courses at a Community College and just a select few at a State School?
I am trying to take the best route financially.

Thank you

Yes.

Granted, it was 5-6 years ago, but I went that route and got into UC Davis (in state), Ohio, and Michigan, waitlisted at Wisconsin, and declined an interview at Minnesota.

There are tons of threads discussing this around here if you use the search function.

Kudos on the highly descriptive thread title!

Yes, plenty of applicants do a majority of coursework at the local CC. Just carefully research what classes need to be from a 4 year uni to count for the schools you are interested, and then go a step further and email admissions to make sure.

I did this and got into 2 schools last year. Believe me, every penny you save will help. The hardest thing I've done so far is signing on the line of the loan agreement.

I was hoping that all the OP said in his/her post was "Hello" too. Would have made my morning

This is almost as repetitive as the APVMA facebook page. That place is getting a little ridiculous with the amount of people asking if the vet tech route is a viable option or if it is a good idea.

Keep in mind this thread is from back in November, not a new thread. But I agree it's annoying having repetitive threads. Maybe making the "welcome to the forum!" thread a little more noticeable would help?

I can't. I just give up. There is absolutely no reason in this world that there are three/four of us who are significantly more active on that page than the actual APVMA officers, for one. Kind of ironic that if the election would have gone differently last year, a certain someone (😉) would probably not be ignoring the biggest outlet for pre-vets to connect via the internet. SDN is another big one, but even parents turn towards the APVMA page for their young pre-vets. I'm so sick of the "Should I become a vet tech first?" "Is it okay to go to community colleges?" "I have one C, should I give up?" "Which school has the best pre-veterinary program?" "I want to go to an OOS school for undergrad, which one should I go to?" questions.

😡😵👎

Yes, I just went through the smilies and chose all applicable ones.

I'm starting to jump into posts on that page only when I see someone ask something that I can really give good advice on, something completely ridiculous, say something that is completely inaccurate, or say that they want to keep their facial piercing in to help them stand out during interviews. 😆

Bahaha I didn't even notice.

I think every time there is a repetitive thread, we should just identify another thread they should have posted in, and then ask the mods to merge it into that thread.

This could be a full time "position" as archivist. Just imagine if there were that many fewer threads to search through.

Then we can merge all the WW games into one mega-thread. And WZ could read it in her spare time.

I like the look of this on you.

You have no idea how much I want this.

Although it would make individual games a lot harder to find.

We can make a sticky of 'chapters' to put on the first page 😀.

nope

only important pre-vet things get stickies

I meant on the first page of the thread, not in the actual sticky section. I probably should have thought of a better word than sticky...

One of these days, I'm going to try a WW game. I missed the beginner's one and I have no idea how to play haha

If you watched HIMYM you should play that one. Not sure on the exact date for that one, but maybe @Ashgirl would better know? 😛

I have absolutely no idea what your talking about STL...

If you start WW @pinkpuppy9 be warned. It can be um.. shall I say... addictive?

Rude. 😛

And don't listen to her, it's totally not addictive. I mean I am sure I could stop if I wanted to. *hand starts quivering due to there being one day thus far without an active WW game*

Earlier I had the thought "Man, when is the next WW game gonna start??" and then reminded myself that the last one just ended like a day ago.
