I was a GS-9 (already had a masters). If you apply as a vet school student rather than an undergrad, you should be able to be at least a GS-7.@alleycat03 I have a few logistic questions for you if you don't mind. What GS level are you at while you're in school/in the pathways program? Is it a ladder position? Also, is your office near your school? And when you are done with school, can you accept a position where you are now or would you have to move? Thanks!
I think they are split as GS-4/5 and GS-7/9 job announcements, but it is definitely possible to be up to a GS-9.
They've done some real wacky things with recent applicants and put them with far away offices but ones where they could work virtually (COVID related, I guess?). In my year, they generally tried to put people in an office that is either within commuting distance to either your school or your home address if possible.
