Veterinary Experience:
- local small animal general practice - 2720 hr
- emergency vet hospital - 400 hr
- wildlife rehabilitation center - 264 hr
- vet clinics for homeless/low income - 128 hr
- intern at veterinary teaching hospital - 112 hr

Major concern: I had to withdraw for a quarter for mental health reasons and now I graduated 2 quarters later than expected. I put in my explanation statement that it was a COVID related reason (tbh it sorta is) but I didn’t mention mental health, just that I survived. Also I know my application is a lot less stellar than a lot of people. I’m just tryin to sneak into the waitlist and hopefully be accepted eventually 🥲
I greatly appreciate everyone and wish everyone the best!!!
