The email was from our CVM Recruitment account! Sometimes that gets filtered into spam. Don't worry! All official decisions will be on your status page (supplemental application website). If you'd like to direct message me, I'm happy to forward you the email that went out yesterday.
Just from speaking with vets which have graduated as early as the 70’s and as recently as, well, now, it seems like there was a shift in what women were empowered to do. More of a societal thing. Veterinary medicine has always had an appeal to more women than men, as have most of the nurturing professions. As cultural norms have changed, more women started going into these fields at higher levels, beyond being vet techs or human nurses. Women started becoming doctors and vets because the change in culture meant they weren’t expected to be homebodies like in the years prior to the 70’s and 80’s. So it’s not so much that more women are interested than they used to be. It’s that they’re not expected to forgo their dreams to stay at home anymore.
Yes, our CVM Dean, Dr. Grooms, will be making phone calls sometime in the next week or so to those who are offered scholarships.
So to clarify, putting a certain race or gender wouldn’t make the difference, but explaining how that contributes to your decision to become a veterinarian and how it’s affected your life makes a difference?
We're looking for a student's perspective on what makes them unique and how that has shaped their path to or their view of veterinary medicine.
That's what I think! On the outside, I may not "look" diverse, but I come from a very low economic standpoint. I wrote in my essays about the difficulties people face within the poverty level, and with new technologies and treatments always advancing in the medical fields, people with similar backgrounds such as myself may not feel in tune with everything and feel as though they are failing their animal. For me coming from that type of situation, I will be able to relate to my clients on a pretty personal level and will have to constantly remind myself that the newest/best/brightest treatment may not be feasible for all of my clients, so I will have to note alternative ways to maintain the wellbeing of the animal.
Building off of this question, does the admissions committee focus on one GPA average (cumulative vs science vs last 45) more so over the others and how does experience tie into that? Can someone be higher ranked if they have a more diverse background of experience.
Absolutely! Our students get hands on experience throughout the 4 years. The first year, they'll practice routine exams and each year they add more elements. Another way our students get more hands-on experience is through our clubs. We have over 40 clubs to choose from. Many of those have wetlabs to offer more experience.
With another snowpocalypse here and acceptances today, I could not agree more
That question totally makes sense. Here's a breakdown of our review. 50% of your score comes from your academics (25% science, 25% last 45). We only look at your cumulative score to make sure you meet our requirement of a 2.50 or above. This review is done by our team in the admissions office.
Exactly, im transgender and talked in my essay about how being lgbt taught me how to deal with intolerance professionally and be able to work with such people.
You never know! It may be good, I rode along the highway on a horse to get my jitters out..a log truck going by kinda does that to you :S
I know! Just hard to feel confident at this point about anything lol but that sounds my like all this snow and these semis around here, so life and death situations do put things into perspective 😛
I might combine both your ideas, my dog sings during hard rock music. Maybe I'll go for a car ride with him and let him take the mic 😀
Have you got KH3? I bought it for the xbox because we've never owned a PS before, but I'm worried I am going to be so lost with the story line lol
Not yet, my airman hasnt gotten theirs yet ( military mail is slow sometimes) and I wanted to make sure I didnt play until it until they got theirs. Kh 1.5+1.2 if you can borrow or rent it will catch you up. Also you can watch the story on youtube
I'm really impatient and I think I'll play KH3 tonight to distract from bad news tonight, so I might just watch the story so far now 🙂
Im trying to be positive :/
I like that 🙂
I’m jamming out in my car, to get dinner for everyone, praying while the sunset is around me lol. Does that count?
Its my chill spot lol and its nice out tonight.
My car is my chill spot. Especially belting out music, but I was just messing it does sound very peaceful.
Same here, unless my Windows are down and someone hears me and gives weird looks.
Oh yes lol I hate that. It’s a bit too cold now for windows down but I did have them down earlier while Pokémon hunting
