Hello, I was wondering if someone can give me some insight as to how likely I'll be accepted to vet school. I listed my stats below, and next to my gpas I put an alternative gpa that I may end up with depending on my performance for the next two quarters. I am from CA, so I am aiming for Davis or Western for cheaper tuition. Thanks!
