I apologize in advance for posting the the current DVM student and graduate form, however, I was hoping to get some advice from those of you who are already in vet school or who have graduated.
I am currently finishing up my pre-reqs for vet school. In my 2nd semester of Orgo, and need to take my GRE and a semester of Biochem. I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel...
My undergrad grades are ok and my pre-reqs are ok too. My feeling is that I will not get in the first few time(s) to a US school and will need to continue taking more upper level science classes. This is not all that appealing to me because I have been working full time and taking my pre-reqs the last 5 years and have had about enough of doing both. Also, I am 33 years old and want to move forward with this whole process.
This has turned me to look further in a different direction to Ross University. I will probably be accepted on my first try and can finish my pre-clinical work more quickly because they have classes year round. Bonus because I am not getting any younger and would like to have a family some day.
Are there any vets out there now that went to Ross and can give me some insight to their time there? Do you wish you had waited and held out for a US school. It's a lot to move to a different country, be so far away from family and friends. I've heard that it is not 100% safe in addition to students needing to purchase a car to get to and from campus.
Thanks so much in advance for your feed back
