you're going to have to fill out a CSU supplemental. it basically asks a BUNCH of short essay questions. fill out EVERYTHING. i didnt even know i was applying to the vet prep program. i think out of the 1900 students that applied to CSU, only 800 people filled out the economically/socially/financially disadvantaged portion of the supplemental. only 8 people per year get into the program.
good luck!!
and after meeting some people who have been accepted into the program.....i was like "how did I get in?" LOL. i cant tell you what they look for....because honestly, they look at the WHOLE package.
write as much as you can, open up. i dont know what made me stand out....if i did, i'd tell you. lol. geequed made an application booklet for everyone to look at....its somewhere on here and it's a download. anyway, you'll see my personal statement there. and that's just a small portion that's about me. i also put my stats on the accepted applicants section.
if you have questions....ask!!
