Just wondering some BELOW average stats for people who got into vet school. Also, if anyone was accepted to Ross's vet prep option, what were your stats like???

You can search previous threads on successful applicant stats which generally include GPAs, extra-curriculars, etc. 🙂

Have you checked out the Successful Applicant Stats threads? You may have to dig into them a little bit, but there's always some applicants who get accepted to vet school with below average stats.

Successful Applicant Stats - Class of 2020
Successful Applicant Stats - Class of 2021
Successful Applicants Stats - Class of 2022

As for the Ross Vet Prep program, specifically, I'm not sure.

Essay Questions/Personal Statement
I explained my unique situation (took me 6 years to complete my undergrad for a reason!), I wrote as much as I could in the little space provided about how my experience and dedication outweighs my not-so-competitive GPA – and it got me an interview, which then led me to eventually being accepted into my dream school!!
