I get the feeling that research isn't really all that important; like the GRE for some schools are just like "Oh, you took it. Good job." I think research and being exposed to it is valuable, but really for people who *don't* want to go into research, I don't see much of a point in it. It's just extra gunner icing on the cake.
Just like if you say you want to do large animal, but all of your experience is in small animal they don't like that. I'd argue, "I did so much small animal to know 100% that I don't want to do it." Haha. Okay, so maybe I'd just think that and not speak it.
May I ask your stats, just out of curiosity.
3.5 cum, 3.4 science, 145; 145; 4 (I sucked at the GREs), experience with wildlife, equine, farm animals, small , and exotics .... Bunch of diverse community extra curricular experience. Personal statement was loved by everyone including a vet school I spoke to about it. That could have helped. Dunno
