Hi all,
First off, I am an older applicant, 49 years old, who is in the final stages of completing a MS degree in biology. In the past, I applied to vet school at UC Davis (my home state); as well as, AVC, Massey and Murdoch. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful. I applied to UC Davis twice, and talked to their admissions to discuss my application. I was told my experience has been too narrow (zoo medicine) and the length of time between when I completed undergraduate and graduate school appears to be a negative. Working full-time, while I attended grad school P/T, seems to have be an issue as well. Since I appear to be uncompetitive, I have thought about attending Massey University for the February semester and competing for a spot for July. I have had a number of vets discourage me from applying to either Western or the Caribbean. What advice might you recommend? Thank you in advance. (I have posted this already on the pre-vet forum).
