Hi everyone. I'm new to the boards and I need some advice from people who have been where I am!
This may sound so old and cliche, but how do I know if Veterinary school is right for me? I really love animals, and always have. I love making them feel better when they're sick and taking care of them. I own and have ridden horses since I was young and know a lot about taking care of them. Along with that, I've had many pets.
I'm a highschool senior and I can't decide if this is the right career path for me. I really struggle with math and science, although I know I have to get through a lot of it if this is something I'm committed to. Are there any of you who really disliked these fields and struggled through them? I know they are required in Pre-Vet, but I feel like if I work hard I could get through them. I'm someone who is easily stressed, although I expect long and difficult hours with this. And I am sort of squeemish, and I realize that part of being a veterinarian is obviously surgical. Will I get over this? I had a hard time dissecting a rat last year in biology. Although, I think that was more the smell than the sight.
My GPA is around a 3.3, but I have the rest of the year to get it up. I want to go to Ohio State.
Please help me out here. I know that you don't know me, but I need some sound advice. Are there any of you who felt this way before entering? I'm so indecisive and I don't know if I will be able to handle this, or even make it through without failing.
HELP!
