become a veterinarian

I have wanted to become a veterinarian for the majority of my life. When I was in sixth grade, I found out that you had to be a straight A student to get into vet school. I was a straight B student. So I decided that maybe engineering was for me because I wasn’t smart enough to get the necessary grades. In seventh grade, I was diagnosed with ADHD and my grades changed dramatically to straight A’s. I was at the top of my class in high school when I realized engineering was not my thing and I decided to stick with my original plan to become a veterinarian. Now I’m a sophomore undergraduate and have my sights set on accomplishing my nearly lifelong goal.

Didn’t get into vet :(

So i’m doing vet technology now… cause i want to actually have a chance to go out & live life as opposed to being locked up in my room studying and being at school for what seems like an endless number of years!

vet tech is fun so far… who knows.. might go back and try again one day.
i’ll take life as it comes!

I have always dreamed of being one and I will become one…

The biggest hurdle anyone faces in becoming a veterinarian is getting into veterinary school. There’s not many of them and they’re highly competitive. In order to get into veterinary school I need to have a good GPA, good scores on the GRE, experience working with animals, 3 letters of recommendation, and something to make me stand out from the sea of applicants.
I have:
1. A good GPA
2. Two people to write me letters of recommendation
3. Animal experience: I had an internship at the Philadelphia Zoo and I have a job as a veterinary technician at a cat hospital
I need:
1. To get a good GRE score
2. To find someone to write me a third letter of recommendation
3. Something to make me really stand out

I’ve wanted to become a vet since I was little. My mother worked in a hospital before she died, so I’ve always wanted to do something in the medical field, but I don’t think I could handle being a human doctor.

I’ve just started college, but I dream to get into vet school one day/

Ever since I was 6 years old, I’ve always had a passion for and interest in animals! Thus, even as a young child, I have aspired to become a veterinarian in order to be able to save the lives of animals!

I’m so glad to be finishing high-school this year!
So I’m off to do pre-vet starting at the end of February next year. =)

In New Zealand pre-vet consists of one semester, and then you either get into the vet course (4.5 years) or do something else.

I’ve had enough experience, shelter volunteer, work exp. at zoo, work as an assistant in a vet clinic part time. Unfortunately none of this helps on your resume for vet school whatsoever. it’s all about the grades! SO I am going to become a hermit, flag the parties, study HARD OUT and I hope I get in.

Good luck to everyone else

Ever since i was a littler girl, ha ha, i’d see animals on the street, hungry, in need of love and care. i want to be someone who would change that. i love animals, they’ve made a place in my little heart.

Business no longer excites me as it once did. I am 30 now with an MBA to pay the bills. I’ll be 40 years old regardless, so I should be 40 and fulfilled with my career rather than 40 and unfulfilled.
