Hello, I was wondering if veterinary schools could see that you got a speeding ticket and could that impact the chances of you being accepted? I am applying to Kansas, UT, UGA, NC, Mississippi, and Ohio. I have never done anything bad before and I just got this speeding ticket at a speed trap.

No.

No, definitely not. Schools are concerned with genuine crimes, not minor traffic infractions. I promise, once you get a little more experience in driving it won't seem so scary 😉

I had 2 speeding tickets and they let me in 4 different schools and become a dvm so no worries!

Lead foot extraordinaire over here.
I've had a few speeding tickets, one was via a camera right before I left the country for vet school.

I'm not encouraging speeding, but no a speeding ticket or two won't have any impact on your vet school acceptance. (As long as you don't turn the speeding into a felony...so as long as you weren't speeding away from the cops/ didn't injure anyone or leave the scene of an accident.)
