I hope to be joining you soon! I believe they got to #8 on Tuesday. I'm sure there will be a few more that get called after the semester is over because people did not finish and/or pass all of their prereqs.
Hello future aggie vets! My girlfriend is interested in the A&M vet school and was looking at the prerequisites and saw 5 hours of Biochemistry! I'm in medical school and didn't need to take ANY biochemistry... Is there anything that can be substituted for Biochemistry?
And the school she goes to doesn't offer Animal Nutrition, but she has taken Zoology, Animal Anatomy and Physiology, Reptile Biology, etc....can any of those work?
Thanks yall!

I assume you looked at this page:
http://vetmed.tamu.edu/dvm/future/biochemistry-requirements
It explains what counts for Biochemistry and that 2 hours can be taken from one of three acceptable courses.
For Animal Nutrition, the only substitute is Feeds & Feeding.
But for the most accurate answer, you should have your girlfriend contact Yolanda with her questions and any specific courses (plus appropriate syllabi) to see if anything can be worked around.
Good luck! 👍
My undergrad didn't offer neither nutrition nor animal science so I ended up taking them as summer courses online at K-state. It was the only school that offered them online with the times and dates I needed. She might want to consider taking them at another university that offers them. The TAMU website also has a list of schools that offer an acceptable nutrition course. She might want to take a look at that.
Hope that helps!

Hey guys! congrats to the c/o 2016 and best of luck to those who be applying again
I am a 20 y/o (21 in Sept) Biomedical Science major at Texas A&M and I plan on graduating with my BS in May 2013 ( graduating in three years). I will be a first time applicant and am excited and nervous all at the same time!
GPA ~3.8
LAST 45 ~3.7 (guesstimate)
SCIENCE ~3.7 (guesstimate)
is there anyone at the vet school who is available to help calculate last 45 and science gpa so I could have a more accurate number
REVISED GRE SCORES:
VERBAL 160 (600 or 610 old score)
QUANTATIVE 159 (750 old score)
ANALYTICAL 3.5 🙁
I am curious to hear what people thought of the new GRE. I know the testmaker has released their 'concordance' table (the new scores they 'think' equal old scores) but I will be interested to see if this is true. I am planning on retaking the GRE due to my low analytical writing score.
ANIMAL & VET EXPERIENCE
I am currently updating my hour totals
Vet Experience:
Both SA and LA with some small exotics
Animal Experience:
Mostly SA with some LA mostly horses but some livestock
I am currently involved with a pet therapy group (visits to nursing homes, hospitals, etc). I am also working with an organization that provides hippotherapy and riding lessons to at-risk youth.
I am the proud pet-mom of a miniature poodle puppy! I am currently working with him (obedience and socialization) with the goal of participating in animal-assisted therapy.
As a Texas girl (born and raised) I am definitely applying IS to Texas A&M. I am on the fence about applying to OOS schools - tuition is just sooooooooo expensive!!!!
any help or advice from you veterans out there would be greatly appreciated!!!
