To be honest, I don't remember, but it has been sufficient for the labs you do as a first year. Stethoscopes also are often for sale for fairly cheap from other vet students. As far as brands go, littmans are probably the most common, particularly the classic II. I would make sure that if you buy a stethoscope, get it engraved with your initials - everyone tends to lose/misplace them. Another approach is to put a dog tag on it with your info.
Thanks! Do most students end up buying a new one for later in the curriculum or stick with that one?
This year was the first year they gave them out, so can't say yet.
Got it. Thank you 🙂. By any chance, did they give anything else out that we should avoid buying two of?
Nope, just the stethoscope and your white coat. In fourth year you'll probably want an extra lab coat or two, but until then one will suffice!
I don't know - I'll ask around, but I think a fair number either do the zoological track or the small animal track with extra rotations/externships in CAPE/wildlife rehab.
Wait seriously?! I almost want to email them and look into my scores haha
So did they call you or email you? What did they say? Sorry I'm super curious haha
What'd'ya decide?
Congratulations! So excitingUC Davis

Congrats to you!
We have to wait, I think, sometime over the summer they'll send us something!
I was surprised as we were told there would be 145 spots 🙂.
Yeah, I can't remember but it says somewhere. I wish we had it sooner so we could join the housing group, though!
I believe it's a scholarship, not a grant. No idea about the criteria, but first year scholarships seem to be pretty limited. I doubt all students with a public health background or interest get them.
What link? There's about three there and I can't figure it out 😛
First one 🙂
Have you been able to log into it? It keeps saying my passphrase is incorrect. I'm so technologically challenged lol
Thank you! This is awesome! Each day we're getting closer and closer to starting, I just so excited!
There were some issues with mine. I called IT and they helped! Some of the things need some time (24-48 hours) to go through 🙂.
They never updated that for prior classes, so we may not find out (unless we ask) 🙂. It would be cool to know, though 😉.
I'm one, too
