Hi Everyone,
I was curious about your guys thoughts. Originally wanted to be a professional golfer but after my father was diagnosed with ALS I changed my mind. My GPA's will definitely go up by next year due to my course load. I am currently a student at UC Davis and applying this cycle. Planning to apply to UC Davis (in-state school), CSU, Tennessee, and RVC. If you guys know of other out of states I could apply to instead of Colorado that would be great as the chances are so slim.

Cum GPA: 3.2 (I don't know if this is accurate as the GPA resets when you change institutions)
Sci GPA: 3.08
Last 45 GPA: 3.48
GRE: Not taken yet.

Veterinary Hours
660 Hours working as kennel/vet assistant (this will go up to about 850 by the end of summer)
300 Hours shadowing surgeon at UC Davis VMTH
100 hours shadowing exotic animal specialist in San Diego
150 hours with summer internship at UC Davis VMTH (shadowed equine, exotics/wildlife/zoo, small animal surgery, opthalmology, general practice)
20 hours volunteering with non-profit run by small animal veterinarian

Research Experience
Will be assisting surgeon I shadowed with a cadaver study

Animal Experience

Extracurricular Activities

Men's Golf (2 seasons at community college and competed all year round so I probably put in 3000+ hrs into the sport)
