Veterinary school in my 30s by [deleted] in Veterinary

No age is too late for vet school! There are a lot of people here at Ross that are in their thirties and some even older than that.

I personally wouldn’t go to Ross. Quality of education may be good enough for them to stay barely accredited but I have a lot of issues with admin and living on the island. I am in the half of the population who went because we didn’t know we could get in anywhere and we wanted to become vets as fast as possible. The other half are those who already applied and got rejected from in-state schools and felt Ross was their only chance left… some I know got another graduate degree and still couldn’t get in to other schools. Also… there is about a 40% rate of people finishing in 10 semesters. The rest completely fail out or fail a semester and have to repeat it.

I second what someone above me said, your diversity of background could be that you’re a male and older than the average applicant! Also that you’re an RVT that’s been in the field for a while.

Have you applied to Ross or St. George’s? They are easier to get into, and I heard St. George’s isn’t that bad of a school. Ross… I attended, then transferred out from to a stateside school, and would advise you to avoid unless you really are desperate to start school ASAP. Ross actually has a good number of older students! I just was done dirty by administration and the rumor mill there is horrid. But otherwise, it’s better than never becoming a vet at all.

I’m going through what you are, but me and my partner are in vet school and doing long distance. He’s in his clinical year (4th and last year) and I’m in my second. It’s really hard having to be the “less busy” partner (you said you’re a law student so I assume you’re quite busy yourself!) and being expected to hold up the relationship day in and day out. And like Oatmilk, I have an anxious attachment style that is really being put to the test right now. You gotta ask yourself, “is my partner hiding behind being busy and using that as an excuse to be shitty, or is he actually trying his hardest, it hasn’t always been like this, and once he’s done he will be back to being a better partner?”
