So I have noticed there are quite a few new people on here, some people who have been here for a few months and some "oldies but goodies" . I thought it would be a good idea if we could have one thread where everyone can introduce themselves so that those who have been here for a while can get to know the newbies and the newbies can get to know the older members.
I will start:
I am currently on my second round of applications. I have a Bachelor's in Biology and a minor in Chemistry received in May 2010. I am currently not taking any classes, but I am working full time and overtime at a small animal veterinary clinic as an unlicensed tech.
As far as stats go:
GPA: 3.49 (depends on who is calculating it)
GRE: 1140
Veterinary Hours: Well over 5,000 hours (includes SA, pet exotics, and pot-belly pigs)
Animal Experience: Over 1,000 hours (this is being conservative I voluntereed at an animal shelter every weekend from the ages of 12 to 15). This also includes volunteering with a zoo, various animal shelters, and most recently with horses.
This is a little about me. Feel free to jump on in and introduce yourself! It is nice to get to know everyone and see what everyone is currently doing. And to get to know those who are in the roller coaster of applying to vet school with you!
