Marsala, your duck is regressing!
She is, but at least she's dressed for the weather!
Lol. Is that what it is? She looks like she's wearing a necklace made of Froot Loops.

It stands for non-traditional. If you didn't follow the standard highschool, college, vet school pattern (like of you got a degree in engineering and worked in the field for a while before going back to school to get your pre-reqs) then you are technically a non-trad. It's a bit of a fuzzy line, though - I'm a bit off schedule but I still would consider myself a pretty traditional applicant, just a bit... delayed.
I applied to ten schools and got eight rejections based on, I'm pretty sure, just my GPA (my GRE is fine). However, I didn't have a great last 45 GPA, and that can make a big difference, as will your science GPA. You just have to research how schools weigh each part and apply to those more likely to look at your application favorably. I'll interview at Western and, presumably, Oklahoma. This is my third time to apply but my first to apply anywhere besides just Oklahoma.
AS for your application, well... there's always something that you can improve on. You can raise your last 45 GPA, you can get more experience, you can retake the GRE... a post-rejection interview can help because a school will tell you what your weaknesses are. At any rate, don't base your future on mine - there are a lot of variables that go into an application.![]()
