Just put the one with the best grade. That’s what I did. Like if they require 3 credits of orgo and I took 8 (1 and 2, 4 credits each) and got a B in orgo 1 and an A in orgo 2, I just included my grade and course info for 2.
Input them separately and only put the number of hours that you held each position. So if you worked at place x for 400 hours total, put place x - assistant - 250 hours, place x - veterinary technician - 150 hours.
Its generally recommended to be consistent with your format and stick to one or the other.
So I know that you split up vet/animal/research hours depending on your position. It looks like you can do the same for extracurriculars. Although I seem to remember there being a thing where you enter in your club and which years you were in it, and then in the description I just entered when I was on the executive board. For example, XYZ A Cappella - Fall 2016 to Spring 2018. (Then in description) Assistant Musical Director from Fall 2017 to Spring 2018. That made it flow a little better in my opinion.
I would say volunteer. It’s an organization that you’re volunteering for that isn’t part of the school you went to.
Yea just put what you have on your resume. You can do bullet points or paragraphs but stick to one or the other. And I know this isn’t really part of what you were asking, but don’t say things like “growing comfortable.” I don’t know why but it just rubs me the wrong way. I would just say “handling fast-paced high-intensity crisis situations.” Be concise and to the point and don’t discount yourself. The former says you’re working on handling those types situations, not that you now know how to handle them.
Like bats said, check what’s required. It’s quality, not quantity. If a school needs 1 from a vet and you get a great vet recommendation, that’s good. If you get two and one is great and one is bad, that hurts you.
Percentiles for when you took it, which should show up when you view your actual scores online. It’s based off of how you tested vs others at the same time as the test was when you took it. It doesn’t matter what the test is like now or how people did now.
Okay so that is what I thought, but my percentiles for both tests changed to the new ones! That doesn't really make sense to me but that is what happened... I am not sure how to go about it now.
Huh... well that’s weird. In that case go with what it says when you look at your scores.
still have to finalize transcripts to be able to submit vmcas
If your school wants you to match prereqs it would be in the individual school sections of vmcas.
Have you checked that you qualify for applying to each school? All the schools usually require you to have finished all prereqs by July if I recall. I have addressed this concern with you I think, but you need to make sure you are not setting yourself up for failure up front right now if you aren't qualified to apply.
From what I remember, you have to input your GRE scores before submitting. I believe you can submit before VMCAS has received your official scores, but I don’t know why you would do that if you have some time before the deadline. If everything is received but then a mistake is noticed after the deadline, there’s nothing you can do about it. Your best bet though it to contact VMCAS directly and see what you’re allowed to do. You can call them and get an answer right away. And remember, things are school specific as well. If one school allows official scores to be received in October but another needs official scores by the VMCAS deadline and you don’t have it in by then, you’re disqualified for that other school.
Thank you! Do you think that is fine?
There was a 1000 character limit including spaces
