WAMC Western & Davis

[Ill-Pomegranate]

Hi there! Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read and respond 🙂

Applicant: First time, 21yr, male, UC Davis graduate w/ an Animal Science degree
GPAs: Cumulative: 3.599 (so close to 3.6 rip), Science: 3.52, Last 45/68: 3.82
GRE Quant: 67%

Schools applied to: UC Davis & Western - Unfortunately could only financially afford to apply to 2 schools this round so decided IS
Vet Experience:

• 880 hrs @ER/Referral specialist hospital (mostly SA, some exotics & avian)
• 54 hrs @free student-run clinic for the community (SA)
• 40 hrs @UC Davis Teaching Hospital: Physical therapy & Rehab Department (SA)
• 24 hrs @ a GP in high school (I don't really count this one)

Non Vet Experience

• 360 hrs of Executive board/member/chair for my business professional fraternity, AKPSI
• 60 hrs of Executive board member for Pre-vet Diversity club
• 250 hrs front desk attendant/receptionist for UC Davis central building
• 36 hrs working as a brand ambassador for a start-up app (sort of like Venmo)
• 840 hrs working as a storefront worker at an ice cream shop
• 744 hrs Children's Ministry Teacher

Awards

• Deans List 5x
• Academic scholarship for interest in Wildlife conservation

LORS: the ER Vet, Er practice manager, & a mentor/instructor from UC Davis who's known me 5yrs

I know GPA and GRE are a little low but I was wondering about my chances of being considered for Davis' holistic. I explained that the quarter with my lowest grades was due to the fact of an unexpected family death and just spreading myself too thin that quarter freshmen year. Also, my friend had much lower stats than me but was offered an interview and got accepted as well for Davis so fingers crossed. Ty again and good luck to everyone applying this cycle!

Sorry this is a little late but your stats are amazing!! I love that you have non-animal/vet experiences listed as well 🙂 My coworker who just graduated from Davis said that they really care about your GPA and GRE score. She was accepted into their vet school with a ~3.4 GPA but really good GRE.

Have you heard back from them and Western already? I'm also a California resident and I'm applying my second time this cycle. My stats are lower but I was wondering if you were able to share more info about your friend that was accepted? Looking for a little bit of hope and motivation before apps open up again
