Hello,
I'm currently a 4th year vet student from Davis who is applying to VIRMP this cycle (making finishing touches on my personal statement). My career goal is to do small animal + companion exotics either GP or ER and I'm pursuing an SA rotating internship (I'm only applying to non-academic hospitals with high companion exotics caseloads) to get a lot of cases under my belt quickly; I have no interest in specializing. Up until recently, I felt okay about applying, but now I'm having a whirlwind of self doubt with regards to if I'm a competitive applicant. I have okay grades (3.64 GPA) and am confident that my letters will be good (I already have my LOR writers confirmed) and I generally interview well, but I just don't know what to expect. Does anyone have any advice?

I don't know that I have amazing advice to give, it's a stressful time. You will match somewhere for a SA rotating, even if it involves scrambling, so try not to worry too much. Based on what you've said here, you sound competitive to me. I would just try to make your LOI as interesting/unique as possible
