Uc davis vet med school

Get help with your application
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
I am guessing that with your lack of initiative to do a simple google search (or even a search on this forum), it is going to be pretty hard. Searching for info on things you don't know is a really really important skill in vet med, so if you're serious about becoming a vet or surviving vet school, I'd suggest you start working on that.
To get you started, go to google, type in "uc davis vet school admissions statistics" and the first hit will give you a ton of info.
Or, if you want first-hand accounts on the process, search for UC Davis on this forum and skim through the posts. Every year, a thread is started for UC Davis applicants to talk about the application process as well as outcome. Those would be good ones to look at.
By all means, post if you have questions you really can't seem to find an answer to elsewhere, but do your hw first.

...perhaps lack of sleep made this really funny that this was one of the links that I clicked on 2nd....took me a second to put two and two together.

Thanks Minnerbelle. I was lining up a snarky reply, but you stated what needed to be said!
The only thing I would add is that a question like the OP's requires a frame of reference. Compared to what? For whom?

Call them and ask that exact question.
While you're at it, call up Harvard and see how hard it is to get in there. I mean, there are 28 schools in the US and how many applicants and how many spaces? It's pretty hard. ANYWHERE.
Over 25% of California applicants got offered a seat the last few years. Hope that helps. 😉
I find this cheerful optimism disconcerting.
I will translate into the pessimist's writing style.
Less than 30% of CA applicants got offered a seat the last few years, and less than 1% of OOS applicants got offered a seat the last few years.
Sorry if that is discouraging.
note: I made up the 1% number, but it is probably pretty close. (b/c I am too lazy to check).

Word. Plus it's really fun to do this type of research, like a treasure hunt involving your life's ambition! And really, would you want to base your decision of applying/doing well on what someone told you on SDN? or would you want to be confident that the info is accurate because YOU found it yourself? Proactiveness rocks!
It's harder than running the mile, but easier than touching your nose to your elbow.
I guess that precludes my dogs, they are sprinters and wouldn't last a mile, but they easily touch their noses to their elbows.
I'm backwards, as usual. I'm only 4 inches from touching my nose to my elbow, but at least .8 miles from running a mile. I'm making better progress on the latter than the former.

I think such stats are pretty encouraging for in state hopefuls such as myself. Not sure why you would deem it disconcerting, especially relative to the chances I have at most other programs.

I'm just shy an inch from touching my nose to my elbow, and it is killing me that I'm so close. I've hurt my shoulders from trying so hard. If I had a tall white person nose, or if I got skinny enough that my cheeks went gaunt, or if my forearms underwent denervation atrophy, I'd totally be there. This is very tempting.
I think I might be able to run 1/2 a mile if I were being chased by a rapist, but a mile is really pushing my limits. Getting into vet school is def much easier than running a mile. Perhaps Davis isn't just any old vet school.
I can't quite touch my nose to my elbow, and I certainly can't run a mile. It all makes sense now. That must be why I didn't get into Davis.
It all makes sense now. If only they told us how simple the admissions criteria actually is. I can run 8 miles but can't touch my nose to my elbow. That must be why I got in!

Crap. Maybe I shouldn't cancel my gym membership and actually GO once in a blue moon.

Wow.... Never thought I would be less likely to be assaulted by cops in Philly than Davis....
LA times likes to report any police violence outside of LA by the way. Helps to make people think that the LA police are typical. I thought one LA cop was going to kick the sh&t out of me for walking up to him and ask him to help with a violent crazy person. The nerve of me looking to the police to do their job. Oops this somehow turned into a rant.
Sorry for the hijack. Resume normal pre-vet activities.

just spent ten minutes trying to touch my nose to my elbow...
I can't run a mile either. I die a painful, breath-less death about .01 miles in.
Probably a good thing I never applied to Davis.

Good thing you didn't come to Penn. You might not have made it walking up to the 3rd floor anatomy lab everyday 1st year?
walking is good. stairs are fine. Knees can't handle running. As soon as I start limping (about 5 strides in) I forget to breathe properly and it just goes downhill from there
