I am a 28-year-old non-traditional student and I am trying to decide whether I want to take a gap year to gain more experiences or just apply for the next cycle and see what happens. I will be done with my biology degree after the spring of 2022. I was in the military for 6 years prior to starting school again so I don't have a whole lot of hours and animal-related experience which is what concerns me. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Schools I want to apply to: CSU (in-state), Virginia-Maryland, Oregon State University, The Ohio State University
Cumulative GPA: 3.749
science GPA: 3.75
last 45: Not sure how to calculate it
Any degrees achieved - completing a biology degree
GRE results: Haven't taken yet
Veterinary Experience:
- working as a kennel assistant/vet assistant: 1780 hours (more by the time I apply)
- Shadowing at a spay/neuter shelter clinic for 10 hours
Animal Experience:
- Volunteered at a farm sanctuary for 10 hours
- volunteered at animal clinics ~100 hours
Research Experience: None
Awards/scholarships:
- Air Force Achievement Medal, AF Outstanding Unit Award with 3 Oak Leaf Clusters, AF Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Nuclear Deterrence Operations Service Medal, AF Longevity Service, USAF NCO PME Graduate Ribbon, AF Training Ribbon.
- Dean's List x2
Extracurriculars: Not sure what to put here. Can I put volunteers I did while I was in the Air Force? Also, I was a treasurer at my squadron's booster club and I was a physical training leader in the Air Force, do those count as extracurriculars?
Employment:
- Air Force: Customer Service Technician, reenlistment/assignment counselor, Force management technician, Passport agent, Non-commissioned Officer in charge of Force Management (2013 - 2019)
- Sales representative at Hallmark (2012-2013)
