I'm currently a junior but am concerned about how my chances look of getting into vet school in the future. I would like to mention that I went to community college for two years before transferring, if that affects anything. I am pretty seriously considering going into both large and small animals in the future but have had trouble getting those large animal experiences. I live in the literal middle of nowhere, which gaining any vet experiences was an accomplishment, and I feel as though this has put me at a great disadvantage in comparison to my peers. Any advice on how I can improve is appreciated!
