Hello everyone...I have just recently discovered this forum and was wondering if one of you could give me insight on my my situation..
I am 25 years old and a Georgia resident..I graduated from Emory University, earned a B.A. in Psychology, and went back and finished my prerequisites as a post-baccalaureate student. As far as stats go, overall GPA is 3.3, science GPA is 3.4-3.5, last 45 hours is 3.63, GRE 1210, Biology GRE 580. ..I have applied and been denied to UGA 3 times despite being REALLY close..
As far as experience goes..I grew up on a farm so I have a plethora of large animal experience..my fathers owns a registered kennel and breeds foxhounds so I have been involved in that..Volunteer at a local animal hospital for one summer and recently, worked in the ICU of the SA Teaching Hospital of UGA's vet school...
This is the first application cycle I have applied to a number of out-of-state schools as well..but I have already received denials from about half of them an still waiting to hear from WSU, LSU, UPENN, Univ. Wisconsin and UGA..so to say that I am discouraged at this point is an understatement
I have been accepted to St. George's University vet school in Grenada for August and am seriously considering attending..I have only heard excellent things about the school in terms of faculty, campus facilities, and pass rates on boards..Have any of you known anyone that has taken this route or have information or an opinion about it?
Sorry for the long post but I know that all of you are immersed in the vet school application process as well and if you have a complex question you should go to the source, right Thanks so much and take care!
