Hello I apologize for the long post! I am 21F, first generation, and I’m planning on applying for the first time this cycle. My in state school is Michigan State. I was planning on applying to MSU and a couple other schools. I know I definitely need to work on some things for my application but my advisor recommended me to apply this cycle. I’m having a hard time trying to decide what out of state schools to apply to. I don’t think my GPA is competitive enough for OOS and GPA focused schools, but I also don’t think my experience is enough for holistic schools. I don’t want to waste my money applying on schools that I have no chance of getting into. I’m also not worried about the location of the schools which it making it even harder for me to pick ones to apply to. I was hoping I could get some suggestions of schools to apply to based on my stats and ways to improve my application!
Cumulative GPA: 3.7-3.8
Science GPA: 3.67
Last 45: 3.8
Degrees: None currently, I’m still in undergrad
GRE: Not planning on taking it
Veterinary experience: at least 1000 hours at a small animal general practice
I’ve been trying to get large animal experience but I live in the city and I haven’t been able to find any opportunities.
Animal Experience: ~150 hours with cows, pigs, sheep, horses, chickens
Research experience: ~50 hours
Awards: Dean’s list every semester
Extracurricular: I’m in a few different clubs and hold a great leadership position in one of them.
I’m not sure if I can add things from high school but if I can I did some sports and volunteering.
Employment: Just the 1000 hours from the veterinary experience
I know I need more diversity in my application and I’m trying but it’s hard to get it where I live.
Thank you!
