I am applying to a mix of US schools and international ones, and honestly have no preference where I end up.

With all of your GPAs being essentially the same, it's very hard to narrow down which schools might be better choices than others. You have good experience hours, more large animal/ER/other could help with variety. Being on the average to below average side, your written portions need to be immaculate.

If your last 45 ends up being significantly higher (3.7+, I would think), then I would consider focusing on schools that look at all GPAs or look at the last 45 and science/prereq over cGPA
