Well done on the 4.0s.

I think your application is pretty strong and I'd say you've likely got a good chance of acceptance at at least one of the schools you listed. If you want to up your chances even more, you can retake the GRE for a higher score and/or try to branch out into another area of vet med (exotics, zoo, wildlife, etc.) or even hop onto a project for some research experience, but none of those things are wholly necessary if you just don't have the time, money or desire. As things look now, I think your application is already quite competitive if you want to run with your current stats.

Thank you! I am participating in a chemistry research project this fall! I guess I forgot to put that on there. Thank you for the advice! I will look into exotics/wildlife for sure! I think both of those sound fascinating. Heres hoping!
