This type of thread has been posted many times, including one of my own. Yet, in the midst of panic I turn to the people who actually are/have gone through this vs. the vast array of people trying to give me advice that don't know anything about vet school, applying, etc. My situation is this:
3.2 gpa, but 3.0 science and last 45. high start and finish, but low soph and junior due to a chaotic work schedule that i was silly enough to continue (45 plus hours/week.) 1160 on gre, applied to three schools (still waiting) but am now facing the reality that I'm probably not going to get in until I can prove that I can do well in additional courses.
Was originally looking into a Davis masters, but the app for this is due Jan 15th and here I am and have been staring blankly at the application because I have never really had a true interest in research, beyond liking physiology and cannot, for obvious reasons come up with much to write for the essays.
Then there is the Colorado MS-B which sounds awesome, except for the websites faq's giving you the answer that there isn't any financial aid available for the 22,000 (I think) program.
All I want to do is take classes to show the admissions committees that I have what it takes! Why in the heck is that so complicated. So that puts me here. What to do? any ideas out there or advice?
ps: I hope not to offend anyone who has worked hard to get into a masters program with real interest, vs. my own of trying to improve my application.
