Well. I was accepted into the Vet Prep program. I would be lying if I said I wasn't pretty bummed, I was hoping for straight admission.
I need some insight. I have not always known that I wanted to be a vet - I found my love during my senior year of college (about two years ago). My undergrad major was psychology, so I graduated with my B.S. in psych, then took my science pre-reqs post-grad while I gained animal experience at my local shelter and as an assistant for a clinic. 2017 was my first year applying for vet school. I applied to several schools in the US and the only school I received an interview invite from was Ross.
I am recently married and my husband and I own a home together. However, my husband and I decided that if I were accepted for admission, I would go. Is it worth me leaving my husband, my home, my family, my dogs, and go to vet prep? Or do I take another year, retake the classes that I received lower grades in, retake my GRE (I only took it once, and I scored very average), gain more experience (I'm a vet tech in a SA clinic, but could benefit from more LA experience), and reapply next cycle?
I can't seem to find statistics about vet prep- what % of applicants are placed into vet prep versus straight admission? What % of vet prep students successfully enter the veterinary curriculum?
Any ideas, words, thoughts are greatly appreciated!
