The better shot would be simply be in comparison to your low shot now. It doesn't mean by applying twice, you're improving your odds. You chance of getting in next year is as good as it would be if you don't apply this year at all.I know I don't have great odds and spoke with other students who are enrolled at KSU and they said that you have a better shot of getting in at KSU (in-state) on your second shot applying, so, I thought that applying this year and showing improvement for next year would help.
Applying multiple times itself does nothing to improve your odds. You may be a better applicant on subsequent rounds because of having additional time to get experience, but no one in the admissions office is looking at applications and going "oh, this person has applied X amount of times, we should admit them."Hi all thank you for your responses! I do want to say that while my goal is to make ER medicine affordable, that doesn't mean I don't know why it is expensive. I am currently shadowing an ER vet alumni from KSU who started the ER vet clinic in my city and have talked about this with him as well. I know I don't have great odds and spoke with other students who are enrolled at KSU and they said that you have a better shot of getting in at KSU (in-state) on your second shot applying, so, I thought that applying this year and showing improvement for next year would help. Definitely not getting my hopes up, and appreciate y'all humbling me!
Came here to say the exact same thing. The fact that your stated goal for becoming a vet is to make ER more affordable alone tells me you do not have enough experience in the veterinary field, let alone saying you want to do ER after only 15 hours of shadowing.If I was an emergency vet alumna evaluating you as part of the admissions process for my school, I would likely not pass you on for evaluation. I appreciate the sentiment, but to have ~100-150 hours in emergency medicine, want to specialize, and then hopefully make emergency medicine more affordable would seem like naivete to me.
Why not? You don't like every animal hating you, constantly putting out major chaotic fires involving critically endangered animals, and wishing you were paid better?I wanted to be a zoo vet (I DEFINITELY don't)
