Plenty of volunteer history from higschool to current through my sorority and animal rescues and other charity
LOR:
I’m confident in these. 3 from vets and 1 from a college professor from undergrad
Concerns:
My GPA is average at best. I’ve retaken some science classes in my gap year so far and I still need to take physics at CC. Does anyone have recommendations where else to apply. Im not interested in leaving the country. Im also concerned my vet hours are not enough in a clinical setting. I want to do large animal for sure but I do enjoy all things small animal, I just know I wouldn’t go into that for my career. I plan on being very non traditional with my degree (research, academia, government, production animal).
