Hi! Sorry in advance if there is another thread like this. I couldn't find one!
I just finished my first year of vet school (what a hell of a ride that was). I didn't finish as strong as I had liked to. I finished with a 3.1 GPA and am wondering if it's too late to bring it up enough to be able to apply to an internship/residency program. My dream place to do both programs is at Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston, MA. I have shadowed a veterinarian there for a couple of years and still have a good relationship with her. I also worked at the MSPCA animal shelter next door. I just love that place!
I start my second year on Monday (hurray for 2+2 programs!). This next IP I am hoping to get a 4.0 since it will be a lighter load. I am hoping it brings up my GPA but wanted to know if GPA is what most programs look at the most over everything else. What are strategies are there to better my chances at getting into an internship and residency program in the near future if my GPA doesn't turn out to be that competitive?
Thank you in advance for the advice!
