Hi everyone!
This will be my second time applying, I would appreciate any advice to help make me a better applicant! I've got a list of 8 schools I'm interested in but my top schools are Washington State University (IS), Colorado, and University of Wisconsin.
Cumulative GPA: 3.51 majored in Animal Science, minored in Spanish
after graduating I took Physics 1 and physics 2 (A in both) and genetics (B), these classes are not included in my GPA
Science GPA: 3.39
Last 45 credits GPA: 3.85
Research Experience:
about 350 hours at the moment, but will increase to about 400 when applications are due (research involving horses)
Veterinary Experience:
about 205 hours at the moment, expect to gain around 400 more hours with a equine veterinarian before applications are due
Volunteering: 140 hours total for various fundraisers and organizations
Achievements: Dean's list twice, two different scholarships from my undergrad school
Extracurriculars:
