I am also having a hard time bringing myself to click that dreaded SUBMIT button...it's all there...it's ready to go...but man, it's hard to finalize something so important!

 

[turnandburn]

Haha, exactly! I'm afraid of hitting 'submit' then having one of those oh **** moments realizing I completely forgot something!!!

 

[turnandburn]

<bump for anyone who missed>

 

[turnandburn]

I'm really surprised by all the 20 and youngers... are you applying after just two years of pre-reqs then?

 

[ckgilabert]

im the only 26 year old! and im turning 27 on october 14th. time really flies by.....but i like that i have this mind set now because it forces me to have more fun. lol.

 

[Truth74]

Come on non-trads. I know there are more 34's out there, somewhere.

 

[guppy73]

Same for us 35-year-olds....I find it hard to believe that I'm the only one out there!

 

[cozycleo]

Lots of us 27 year olds (well I'll be 27 in less than a month). So I'm not the only one suffering from a quarterlife crisis.

 

[philomycus]

<- 34

i am. if i don't get in this cycle and i'll apply again next cycle and graduate early. ...or add a second major and graduate on time

I graduated with my BS in May, am spending the year teaching at a deaf school in Mexico and will head to vet school next fall (hopefully Davis, but Penn let me defer, so it Davis doesn't admit me again, Penn it will be). I guess you could say I'm one of those that likes to do things a little bit differently...and, if possible, take advantage of interesting life experiences along the way

Here's hopin' Davis ain't drinking crazy juice and they accept you again like they ought to.

 

[CatTech]

21 here. guess i had a slightly early quarterlife crisis??
idk though, i will be at least 23 before i'm eligible to apply though. =(
2 more years...
(just decided to do pre-vet w/ in the past year. and i still have to finish vet tech this year before i can even start pre-reqs--although i do have the required pre-calc for my state school out of the way. just hope they don't change it to calc. before i apply!)



and yet witnessing the craziness of application time, i feel like i should be starting my app now! or at least a personal statement that can be adjusted as the next couple years go by.... lol
but i know that's over-doing it.

although i have to say i think i have a good PS opening in mind... maybe i should write it down... lol

 

[pressmom]

Any other 28 year olds out there? I can't believe there are so many 27 year olds and I'm the only one who is 28!

[rachroo]

I've noticed the older I get, the more I dread becoming a year older.

 

[redtea]

[LVT2DVM]

New Icon? Yes. New dog? Nope. That's my old man, Cotton. He's coming up on 13 and still acts like a puppy.

[BrumleyVet]

Am I the only "40-something" around here??

 

[SpayLady]

Am I the only "40-something" around here??

Nope!

 

[cwc07]

Am I the only "40-something" around here??

I too am a member of the 40-something club. This is my fourth time applying - got close the past 2 years as I was granted interviews at my chosen school (UF), but I was denied admission because my interviews didn't apparently go as well as they could have - even though the dean told me I was perfect on paper. Go figure.

I know I would be in vet school now if I was able to apply to out of state schools (UF is my in-state school), but in addition to all the baggage one accumulates at this stage in life, but I have a low-functioning disabled brother that I also have to think about as both our parents are deceased and I am his legal guardian.

 

[pressmom]

Looks like 36 is the only one not represented. Any takers?

 

[darren1228]

25 fast approaching 26

I'm really surprised by all the 20 and youngers... are you applying after just two years of pre-reqs then?

I was one of those kids whose birthday just missed the cutoff date (december 3rd), so my parents put me into school a year early. So from preschool all the way to undergrad I've been a year younger than everyone else in my class. That means I was 17 starting undergrad (which kinda sucked) and I won't be turning 21 until midway through senior year (which REALLY sucks).

I'm gonna guess that most of the 20-and-unders aren't applying this cycle. I know I'm not. I guess I could have applied this year...but I'd much rather have the time to get additional experience and be able to devote more time to putting together a really great application next time around.

 

[twelvetigers]

There's no point in rushing something like the rest of your life. Enjoy having some "whatever" time when you can.

 

[turnandburn]

I'm gonna guess that most of the 20-and-unders aren't applying this cycle.

Ah! That hadn't even occured to me. I was wondering why there were so many 'youngins' here!

I should have qualified this poll for applicants only...

 

[cows93]

So there must be a bunch of us non trads out there. My class this year I think someone said our average age is 28. I'm 32 soon to be 33(Dec) and I know of at least 4 other mid 30 people in our class.

 

[littlehooves]

yeeeah- calling all 22-year-olds, lets beat this poll! we're in the lead!
