Thank you to whoever takes the time to read this because it is stupid long <3
Hi all, I made a previous WAMC thread and received from valuable insight. However, I have 20ishhh schools that I am eligible to apply to/feel most comfortable with. Although, it is more important to me to become a veterinarian than where I get my degree from, I want to be reasonable. I, of course, want to make sure that the schools I apply to focus (at least somewhat) on what I am most interested in vet med.
Prior to heavily researching each of these schools, I would like to narrow my list down to 10. Although cost is a factor, it is important to me that I actually get into a school. I had previously decided that I was unable to apply to my in-state because of some outside circumstances. However, after discussing with my advisor (after the advice I received on this site!! Tysm) I have adjusted my schedule and I will be able to apply to my in-state (Auburn)!
As I said, I want to narrow my down list based on which schools I am most likely to get into. Could anyone provide some thoughts on which schools on my list focus more on the holistic reviews as opposed to solely GPA based? Or which applicants normally get in before their degree is completed? Overall, which schools I should apply to?
Also, the pre-reqs I will be "missing" by the time of my application are organic II/lab and biochem. Those won't be completed until December (app deadline is September, as I'm sure you all know ) My overall is 3.63, trending upward. My science is somewhere close to a 3.4 (can't remember off the top of my head) and likely to trend slightly upward or stay the same. I'm unsure of my last 45 because I still have to finish off this semester, and I won't graduate until Spring 2023. However, I have diverse research, internship, and clinic experience. I'm also low-income, first generation.
Here are the schools I need to narrow down to 8 (I already know I will be applying to Purdue and Auburn for sure!):
CSU
Cornell
Kansas
Lincoln Mem
Long Island
LSU
Midwestern
Miss State
OH State
Oregon St
Tufts
UF
U Minnesota
U Penn
U Tenn
U Wisconsin
Western U
NC State
(Side note: I know Cornell is very GPA heavy, but it would be a dream to attend. Any insight on if that would be feasible or likely is also appreciated!)
As always, thank you all so much for your help! I genuinely appreciate it.
