So I looked for a thread about this, but couldn't find much about my specific predicament. I'm wondering if anyone knows about vet school admissions and research experience. I am planning on doing something with my summer. My advisor here is suggesting I apply for REUs (Research Experiences for Undergrads) for the summer of 2015. I know that they are hard to get into, so having a spot would be rather impressive. However, I also know that vet experience is valuable and having a summer long internship may be very important. I work at a veterinary hospital now, but do not work closely with the vets, and am about to start shadowing once a week at a clinic. Would you guys say that taking an REU for the summer would be valuable to my application, or should I stick with gaining more veterinary and animal-specific experience? (I'm a sophomore in undergrad if that helps)
