Hey! I am currently a senior in high school (I will be graduating a semester early in December and will start college in January.) I have gotten the opportunity to shadow a veterinarian who does "farm calls" next week, and I am extremely excited about it. I've read a lot about keeping track of hours and notes for when I apply to vet school; should I go ahead and start doing that now, or wait until I'm actually in college?
I'm also wondering what exactly constitutes animal experience? I live on a farm and we have 6 horses and a pony. Would cleaning the stalls and such count as animal experience hours? I'm also wondering if I should go ahead and keep track of those too.
Alright, last thing: can anyone give me some advice on getting ready for college in January? I want to start on the Pre-Vet track ASAP, so any info I can get on preparing for and for my first semester in college would REALLY be appreciated!
Thanks!
