vet school

Hi all, I was recently accepted into vet school and was thinking about my career path in the future. I know I have a long road to go and can always change course but I wanted to get some feedback from y’all. So I want to go into large animal medicine, working with all food animals and perhaps...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew which schools required their fall 2023 transcripts? The only one i’m aware of is Iowa and colorado (if admitted/waitlisted). I would just like to know so I know how many transcripts to order later this month. Thanks!

I’ve been a vet student and I’m still feeling burned out and strained from that experience. I withdrew from the program in August and pretty much went straight into a different program. I can’t say that I’m extremely happy. I’m not really enjoying the courses. Over the past couple of weeks...

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding undergrad. So I'm kind of in a weird position where last year (which was my senior year) I applied and ended up getting waitlisted and never admitted. I decided to postpone my graduation date because I wanted to take more classes to boost my GPA but I...

Hi all, this is my second ever time doing the Casper test and unfortunately, this time I scored 2nd quartile. I found the prompts difficult and hard to follow so I'm not surprised I scored the way I did. Right now I'm worrying about how it will look on my application. My GPA isn't the greatest...

I am in high school, planning to apply to UK vet schools and am currently trying to get as much experience as possible. I've recently found 2 potential work experiences and both of them seem quite appealing, so I'm having trouble choosing between them. (Both non-clinical animal experiences, as...

Hi! I just got invited for an interview for SMU! I was wondering what experience some of you may have had either this year or in recent years?

Hi, so I have applied to a few vet schools and I’m still waiting to hear back from two schools. However, I have received rejections from all others. That being said I’m looking into how to go about improving my application for the next time around. However, I’m a bit confused as to which root to...

Hello! I applied to vet school during the last VMCAS cycle. I was invited to do an interview but unfortunately, I was denied because of I never took more than 3 classes in any semester during my undergrad. This was upsetting to hear but it is my first time applying and I am still hopeful. My...

Hi everyone! Best of luck with the upcoming application process

Basically, as the title states, I’m wondering if I have to have drug doses memorized in order to take the NAVLE. I’m only a 1st year student so I know I have a long way to go until that test, but I’m currently taking pharmacology, and I make flashcards that I intend to continue studying...

Right now I am having such a difficult time focusing and I’m struggling to find the motivation. I fail exams, I procrastinate and I don’t put enough effort into my studies even tho I want to go to vet school so badly. I’m burnt out already and I’m graduating in the fall 2022, next semester. I...

Does anyone have experience with coaching for MMI interviews for vet school specifically? I have found some information online and am currently reading Desai's MMI strategy book, but it focuses on medical school interviews, not vet school... I wonder how the scenarios might be different, so I...

Hello everyone, my name is Sarah! I am a junior in college about to apply to veterinary school and I am so excited, but I have a question regarding experience for vet school. I have volunteered at this animal shelter since 2018 and decided I wanted a job in the vet department. Once I talked to...

Hello! I am currently debating between attending Oregon State University and Colorado State University for vet school. I love both schools, but CSU is much more expensive for out of state students than OSU (almost a 10-12,000$ difference a year). I also would love to live in Oregon and have...

Hey guys! I hate typing notes and have always been a handwriting person, even through my whole undergrad. I'm firmly a PC/Android person, so ipads are out. I've been seriously considering a Mobiscribe or Remarkable 2, but I was wondering if anyone has experiences with a paper tablet like those...

Hi! Wondering if people had any suggestions for things to buy for 1st year vet med. I know the list will vary a bit between schools, but any suggestions or things that you found useful would be helpful! Thanks

To any current vet students - do you have a pet at school? if so, is it manageable with classes and do you have enough time to spend walking a dog? do vet students often end up with animals from the teaching hospital? I hope to be accepted into the class of 2025 and am wondering if I should take...

Hi everyone! I was looking for advice from anyone who has applied for vet school more than one time. I'm a nontraditional student who has been in the field since 2008 (I'm 28), and I have a BA in theatre (2017) and my RVT license. I have a truckload of experience but a science GPA of 3.2, a...

Hi all :). I just finished up my application and I’m looking for some feedback before I submit it. In early July I ruptured a tendon in my ankle and am currently awaiting surgery. I was put in a boot and on crutches, so I had to cut down my work schedule along with shadowing. I put this in my...

Hi! I’m applying to vet school this cycle and feeling really anxious about it. This is my first time and I’m wanting some advice on my application. Right now I’m applying to Iowa (IS), kansas, colorado, and Illinois. I really love Kansas and am hoping for some insight particularly on my chances...

Hello! I have found myself in a sticky situation. I was OOS accepted to Illinois right after my interview and was waitlisted at Missouri. I just was pulled off the OOS waitlist at Missouri due to a last minute drop out. Here’s where it gets sticky for me. Missouri is roughly $80,000 cheaper for...

Hi everyone, I need advice on whether or not I should be re-taking pre-req classes to raise that gpa, even if I am going to have an advanced degree (MS Biology) before applying to vet school. I received my B.S. in Biology last December. I have a few C+s, one B- : Organic Chemistry 1 & 2...

Hi, everybody! I’m currently an College Senior that will graduate next May and I am nearing a decision that I won’t be able to apply for Vet school this cycle due to a low Cumulative GPA and Veterinary Experience so I’m looking for advice that if anyone took a gap year after undergraduate. -...

Hey all! I'm new to this, so I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place! I am a second semester freshman pre-vet major. Recently I've been getting a lot of emails about "honor societies" which I imagine a lot of them are scams. However, I did have one mail me a packet of information. It...

Ive recently been accepted to my IS veterinary school, 3000 miles away from where my husband and I are currently living due to military orders. He will have to remain here until summer 2020 and then be stationed elsewhere (although likely still distant from the school). He is incredibly...

Hi everyone! I’m finishing up the second semester of my freshman year of undergraduate as a pre-veterinary major and it seems like it has flown by! Although I have gotten good grades and gotten involved in many extracurriculars this year, I am often left wondering if I am doing enough to stand...

Howdy! Which schools don't require a supplemental application for vet school?

I am an undergrad student who doesn't need to take animal physiology to graduate. However its a required course for some vet schools. Does anyone know if you can be enrolled at two universities (one of them online). I'm not sure if I need this course to transfer to my current school to...

SO. I applied to 10 schools this round and the applications did not go well. I did get an interview at my IS, but I didn't get in. As of right now I have 8 rejections, one alternate, and one acceptance from Ross. I am so excited to be accepted into vet school, but I was really hoping for a...

Hi everyone! I'm currently a second semester freshman majoring in pre-veterinary sciences and have a few questions about undergraduate grades. First semester was great and I made a 3.75 GPA, I was a member of pre-vet club and was very optimistic about going to vet school. I've always had very...

If you are applying to vet school next cycle and interested in the Army's scholarship come and say hi and ask any questions!

Starting this off as a continuation of last year's thread so we can post where we're waitlisted, what number rank we are, and what schools we have yet to hear from. And to update each other when people start getting pulled off the waitlist! I'm an alternate at Western (no number rank) and...

Hi! Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I searched old forum posts and really could not find what I was looking for. I have been accepted to a couple schools and I'm still waiting to hear back from a few, but I want to be proactive and start thinking about finances now. Almost all of...

I started off freshman year great. I'm a biology major. I had a 3.7 gpa first semester. Second semester rolls around, i'm in 100% science classes and a psych class, and I end up with straight C's and a cumulative gpa of 2.7. I'm SO disappointed in myself even though I did work really hard; but I...

Hi everyone! So with the 2019 application cycle behind us... Those of us with iffy stats probably are formulating a "plan b" if we get that rejection letter in February. What is everyone's plan if they don't get in this cycle? This was my first time applying and I am preparing myself (I know...
