Also, I have an explanatory statement for the drop in grades my last 2 semesters. My letters of recommendation come from 2 veterinarians, my anatomy professor, and my practice manager

WAMC, but you DID get into SGU, RCVM, and LMU, so congrats!!!

As for your other schools, are any of those an IS school? If you’re OOS, I think your GPA will likely hurt you for some (like UGA), because they are so competitive for limited OOS seats. But for others, your strong experience, paired with excellent essays and LORs, could give you a decent chance.

What are my chances?

So I won't be able to give you great information cause you actually didn't give us a ton of info, particularly as a re-applicant. If you look at the other threads, there's a format we request people follow to give you the best info we can.

First and foremost, why did you make the school list you made?

Waiting to hear from — Auburn, Mississippi St, LSU, Michigan, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Purdue, Georgia, Tennessee, and Penn

Based on your GPA, you're likely SOL on CO, GA, LSU, and Penn. Why did you apply to these schools?

Denied from A&M, Ohio, Tech, UCD, and Kansas interview waitlist

Are you a Texas resident? If not, that's why you were denied by the TX schools.

Accepted to RCVM and SGU thus far. Accepted to LMU spring but deferred to fall

LMU will be far be your cheapest option
