Thank you!!!!

Lab experience is great and would be awesome to get published, good luck! Maybe some more shadowing experience, more diverse experience could help. For example, you could look into shadowing a vet at a shelter, or at an emergency clinic, or even at a leader dog training place. Make sure to research each of those schools to make sure that you'd be able to submit a competitive application given the most recent class profile averages. When I was researching to apply I had to contact all of the admission offices directly to get a clear answer on requirements.

Thank you! I’m currently trying to shadow an equine vet or exotic vet. I’ve been in contact with a few. When you say you had to contact the schools directly, do you mean to see if you had a competitive application based on the recent class profile?

Yeah, like their site would give me a min GPA/hrs but then I'd email them and they'd be like "sure, you can apply as long as you have a 3.0 but we give more consideration to those with XY GPA and at least 3000 hrs..." essentially inferring that they'd probably throw my application in the trash as soon as I hit submit. xD Like they all say they have a "holistic" review process nowadays but I found that to be very false in most cases. So I'd sort of email admissions with my stats, kind of asking a (what are my chances?) and would get a much more realistic answer.
