Hi everyone! Im new here

Hey akitavet! Welcome and feel free to ask questions! I'm a current undergrad chemical engineering student but will be in the Class of 2010, so feel free to PM me with any special questions!

 

How are you in the C/O 2010 if you are currently undergrad?

 

welcome welcome!

 

Whoop! C/O 2011! I looked at my sn...completely unrelated #

 

You can also PM me with any questions - I'm another converted chemical engineer and worked many years (I'm 32) before deciding to apply

 

I'm another late-applicant that started in a different career direction. I have my master's in fisheries and wildlife and have worked for 2 yrs. in development bio and genetics. My biggest piece of advice would be to talk with the schools that you want to apply at. They can help decide what experiences will help you and what you might be lacking in. Some schools told me that my extensive research background more than made up for my lack of vet clinic hours. I only had about 300 hrs of shadowing a vet at the time of my application along with my tons of research/lab animal experience. And I received interviews at 2 out of the 4 schools I applied to and was accepted at my #1 school without an interview. I think we'll all have lots of advice here but alot will depend on your own personal story. Check out the thread on "Profile of Successful Applicants" and you'll see alot of diversity in majors, grades, EC's, and GRE scores. Other advice I would offer is to start the process early (prepare personal statement, LOR's, transcripts) and visit schools your interested in, if possible. I really changed alot of my opinions of schools after I visited and got a feel for the campus, facilities, and students. Good luck
