Howdy guys!
So I think I am just starting to get the pre-vet school jitters. I am a Junior at Texas A&M University (Whoop!) and my advisor has informed me that I shall be starting my application for vet school on May 1st. (the vet school I am hoping on getting into is Texas A&M's vet school)

And so it begins....

He advised me, after finals, to go to barnes and nobel and pick up a $30-$40 GRE prep course software and do that for three weeks after finals and then take my GRE once I am finished with the course.

I want to make kind of a timeline for myself and allow myself ample time to take the GRE multiple times if I want, but I am nervous that it is already too late. I knew I had to take my GRE all along but my advisor didn't mention anything about it until I asked him a couple weeks ago.

Am I still at a point where I could take this more than once without my scores being rushed??

As far as letters of recommendation, I have worked at a vet clinic in my home town for the past 5/6 years or so, so naturally I am going to get one from him, are there any other people that it would be smart to get letters of recs from?

My job brings up another concern. This is the only job I have had, and I am worried that it is not enough experience, esp since it is strictly a dog and cat clinic. what other things should I look into, and where should I start looking considering I have not worked here in college station yet.

well I will leave this novel for now, I think this is enough questions for the time being.

Thanks for any input 🙂

Welcome! You might have better luck getting answers on your questions over at the Pre-Vet forum: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/forumdisplay.php?f=73

That being said, each school has a slightly different GRE due date. I took my GRE for the first time as late as September 20th I think!! I took it a second time on Oct 1, which was the last day possible for some schools (it was too late for others). So I would say if you are already thinking about it, you have PLENTY of time 😉

Thanks! I'll go ahead and switch it over!
and thanks about the GRE information, I was kind of nervous seeing as tho my advisor told me my application should be done end of july to mid august, and I was worried there wouldnt be enough time to take it again.
