Hello everyone! I’m a 20F Texas Resident applying for the first time this cycle! I would really like to do either small or exotic animal medicine so any advice would be really appreciated. Updated my stats to the exact numbers I have currently since I’m getting everything together to put into my application!
Schools Planning To Apply To:
In State: TAMU, TTU
OOS: Mississippi, (Not a complete list since I’m looking at prequisites)
Cumulative GPA: 3.681
science GPA: 3.5~ (haven’t calculated fully)
last 45: 3.7
Any degrees: Animal Science (In Progress)
GRE results: N/A
Veterinary Experience:
Small animal shadow: 522 hours
Large animal shadow: 122 hours
I’m doing an exotic veterinary medicine internship so I’ll have at least 480 wildlife hours (veterinary) by august!
Animal Experience:
Cat pet sitting: 116 hours
Tarantula husbandry and breeding: 150 hours
Velvet and jumping spider breeder: 200 hours
Wildlife Rehabilitation Volunteer: ~100 hours
Research Experience:
Fruit fly research on meiotic disjunction: 73 hours (includes a published article with co authorship but not one of the first authors so unsure if this helps?)
Awards/scholarships:
Deans List for 2023-2025
Presidential Merit Scholar
SkillsUSA Cosmetologist State 1st Place
Extracurriculars:
Preveterinary society
Alpha Zeta Ag Representative
Local Symphony Viola Player
1500+ hours in cosmetologist training/competition work
Employment:
900+ hours as Cosmetologist Hairdressor
500 hours as a small business owner for crocheting
My main concerns are what schools I should focus on applying to that I’d have a better shot. A lot of them have BIO 1 & 2 as a prerequisite (which I lack the latter this cycle) so any suggestions on where to apply would be appreciated!
