Hello all!

I am a OOS, non-traditional student! Wondering if anyone would be willing to assess my stats.

Undergrad: Marine Science B.S minor Environmental Science
GPA 3.34
Science:??? 3.4(If marine bio/physics/chem count) ~3.0 if not
GRE: 153/154 V/Q

Graduate: M.S (in progress) Earth & Environmental Science concentration Biological Oceanography
GPA: ~3.96

Vet hours by matriculation: ~4000
Animal hours:
-Kennel assistant for breeder ~ 200
-Horseback riding ~50
-Trawling/seining ~100hrs
Research:
Undergrad: 250hrs with bivalves and crustaceans
Graduate:500 hrs with cyanobacteria (Harmful algal bloom forming strains) that endanger local fauna

Extracurriculars:
Marching Band: 1500hrs
Pep Band: 1000hrs
Section Leader: 250hrs
Intramural Captain: 300hrs
Marine Science Club: 250hrs
Martial Arts: 400-600hrs hard to estimate.

Essays:
1) Spoke about growing up by the water, and assisting with research involving bivalves and crustaceans, as well as field work with larger marine fauna like skates, rays and mantis shrimp. This reinvigorated a desire to work with animals, so I began working for a single doctor practice that was extremely hands on and let me perform dentals and assist in surgeries very early on.
2) Spoke about how I really appreciate how the university values diversity (I am Afro-Latina) and how the success of their students is so incredibly important.
 
Hello all!

1) Hey! Just curious as to why the stats you give here for vet med don't match the ones you give over in pre med? If you're applying to both, we need as much info as possible to be helpful since the applications are pretty different.

2) @Lupin21 the entire thread got moved lol

Also lol it looks like they said that they got accepted off a waitlist for Med school in May???
