r/vetschool

I didn't think I'd ever go to college. I've wanted to be a vet since I was 6 years old. But I'm scared. I'm 25 and I probably won't be able to start till I'm almost 26. I barely graduated high school. Not cause I couldn't but I just didn't care at the time. Now I want to do this but there's so many things about college I don't understand. How do loans and grants work? School can cost 300k + do loans even go that high? I know I need to get an under grad which is 4 years but I'm seeing where some people did 3 years applied for vet school and got in? What if I don't get accepted? I'm amazing with science and biology. Terrible at math lol. What do I need to do I have no idea and I'm very lost in this whole process and I don't even know where to start. I'm moving home beginning to June. I don't think I'll be able to start until next year tho because i need time to find a job and figure out loans and what all i need to do. Can someone try and explain all this in a way that easy to understand?

I just found out my current school won't let me take my final Master's capstone this summer due to a policy change, moving my graduation to the Fall.

I’ve already been accepted to WesternU for this August. I have my Bachelor's and all my prerequisites are 100% finished. Is the Master's degree itself usually a "hard" requirement for entry if you already have a Bachelor's?

Has anyone ever been allowed to start DVM classes while finishing a final Master's credit remotely? Any advice on how to approach admissions about this would be amazing.

I just got accepted to UAGM for their DVM program and I was wondering if they drug test? Specifically for marijuana? it would be really helpful to get answers from current students, thanks!

Hello! Currently studying for my final exam and reviewing some of my lectures covering MSK is showing to me my weakness for this exam. Does anyone have an apps/websites that are helpful when studying MSK? Specifically ligaments and tendons are getting me a bit, especially with all the differences seen in the horse limbs. Also if anyone knows of a resource that shows the movement of the muscles and tendons during locomotion, that would be very helpful! Right now, I am using my lectures to review, a 3D anatomy app, and a dissection textbook I have on hand but any additional resources would be extremely helpful! Thank you!

hi friends! i'm starting my first year of vet school in august and i was wondering if it's recommended to have a roommate or not! what are yalls thoughts?

hello all, I am currently a licensed vet tech and have been thinking heavily about going to vet school. I have been completing my bachelors a few classes at a time in order to not take out loans. for a lot of my bachelors I took classes at my local community college because of the cost difference. I know that schools look down on community classes for harder courses, However I have been working in the field for about three years as an ER tech, and I’m about to graduate with my bachelors in biology and a minor in chemistry from University of Wilmington. My only concern would be since I have been taking a few classes at a time, and most were taken at a community college, there isn’t a heavy workload at any point. How much would this affect my chances of getting in? Should I do a full load for my last semester? Any advice would be helpful, as this is worrying me!
