Hi everyone,
I was wondering if you guys could help give me some insight into what my chances might be for gaining admission into a vet school this coming cycle. Thanks!
Applying to: WSU (IS), Cornell, UPenn, CSU, and RVC

VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE:

EXTRACURRICULARS:
Minimally involved in Biology Club, Pre-Vet Club, Irish Club, and Fishing Club
PERSONAL STATEMENT:
Wrote about my desire to go into wildlife medicine after witnessing the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and reading about the issue of emerging zoonotic diseases and One Health in several books
ACHIEVEMENTS:
- Dean's List three semesters
- Science Student of the Year in High School
LORS:
- Veterinarian at small animal hospital I did an internship at

- Director of animal rescue and wildlife rehabilitation center I did an internship at
I realize a sort of came late to the realization I wanted to be a veterinarian and have minimal vet and animal experience and that I wasn't very active in extracurriculars and employment while in college, but I was wondering if my GPA and unique interest in wildlife medicine and infectious disease research might give me a chance. Thanks!
