Hi! I am currently a student at LSUS which has a pre-vet program that coincides with LSU Vet. Med school.

I was currently in community health and had family issues and had to withdraw a year ago and my GPA dropped incredibly low. I am starting back at LSUS in Spring 2011 in the pre-vet area. It is a 2 year program. Can i apply to vet school after those two years? Or do i need to complete a 4 year b.s. degree??? Although my GPA is low I am going to retake classes that are not A's or B's. and shoot for making straight A's.
I am also going to try to find a local veterinarian I can work or volunteer for, so I can gain experience.
Any other advice would be appreciated!!
Thank, Kristen Marie

Take a look at this web page. http://www.vetmed.lsu.edu/admissions/min_prereqs.asp

It'll give you a list of what classes you need to complete. You don't need a bachelors, just the prerequisites.

Retaking classes that you didn't well on before may or may not help. How long ago was it that you took the classes?

Are you just planning on applying to lsusvm or other schools as well? Some schools do require a bachelors and the pre reqs vary between schools. I would definitely check into the schools you are thinking of to make sure you are fulfilling their pre reqs.
