Hi Guys,
I'm a senior in college, have been pre med all this time. I have recently been looking at vet school as another option. I have a 3.84 science GPA and 3.77 cumulative. The problem is I have no experience working with animals. I've been doing various community service throughout college, but never with animals. Another issue is my GPA for the last 45 credits. I'm coming off off my worst semester ever, a 2.9. This semester it's looking like a 3.4. The other semester that would factor in to that would be a 4.0. I calculated it out, and it looks like my "last 45 credits" number will be about 3.3-3.4. I'm kinda bummed about this, because it signals a downward trend. I have all the pre req courses for the most part. FWIW I got a 31 on the MCAT. Where shouls I start? Is it a black mark on my application if my GPA was low at the tail end of college? Thanks.
