What about a paid internship? I tried getting a job at a clinic as an assistant and no one would take me because no one was willing to train me. I’ve been volunteering at a rescue hospital and I’m learning how to draw blood, calculate dosages and prep for surgery and do exams and administer vaccines and medications. I found the opportunity through the student pre-vet association at my school. I’m taking every opportunity I’m offered, but I’m worried that because I don’t have a job I won’t get in.

Paid internship counts as a job! Many of our students did not have paid experience before vet school. You can check out our resources on our website for more information!

is graduating a year early a turn off? or does it show resilience?

[@USAtexasforever]

Do most people who go to Vet school graduate?
How many people are turned away because the school doesn’t have space?

I had a 4.0 gpa as a graduate student from the UF college of Medicine and five peer reviewed journal articles in quality publications, I graduated with a MS degree from the college of medicine, my undergrad was a BS in chemistry and I had years of experience working with animals as a UF employee … I interviewed and was wait listed …I was told if I applied next year I’d get in. I instead went to anesthesiologist assistant school and now 13 years later I’m making 250k a year have no student loans and couldn’t be happier. UF vet pschool is an elitist club of entitled wankers
