First application cycle, non-traditional student- 26yo mom, B.S. in Zoology/Animal Behavior, applying only to my in-state (MSU)
Cumulative GPA: 3.54
Science GPA: 3.2
Last 45: 3.73
Bachelor of Science in Zoology '20 from Michigan State
Veterinary Experience:
Been a stay at home mom since my last job but actively looking for a vet assistant position now.
I’m only applying to MSU because I need to be close to family to help watch my daughter while I’m in school.
What are my chances of getting in to MSU? What should I improve?
I am also planning on going on a ride along shadow with a LA vet this summer for 10-20 hours & hoping to get a vet assistant job here soon.
