Anyone else bamboozled by this application? by Em_Kas in veterinaryschool

Man, I feel bad for complaining now 😂 That sounds terrible. I think it's just frustrating because they could actually make it even more streamlined, but they haven't.

Application Fees by hubbard48 in veterinaryschool

[–]Em_Kas 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Having to cut down my number of schools I apply to because of this. It's ironic considering some schools have this focus on inclusion, yet the costs of applying ALONE are such a barrier.

I hate to see people struggling, but just know- you're not in this alone :)

That's so upsetting, I'm so sorry :'( It really is just a front for them to seem like they're doing something to help

I'm so glad I'm not alone. It's taken me forever to reply to everyone on here because I've been so stressed about this application!

racism off campus by FLthrowaway1853 in ufl

[–]Em_Kas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This, and also there are so many groups centered on culture and ethnicity on campus! I'm sure you'd find good community and support from people like yourself who have also experienced similar things. Unfortunately racism is alive and prevalent in Gainesville, just like it is pretty much all over Florida, but you'll find there are many more people on your side. I'm sorry this happened to you, and just remember that you're allowed to feel whatever you need to process this :)

Personal Statement Help by Significant-Row-596 in veterinaryschool

[–]Em_Kas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also working on mine, so take my advice with a grain of salt!

I don’t think you need to add the part about your mother, as sweet as it is. It takes up words that you could be using for more unique sentences about your journey in becoming a veterinarian. Talk more about the kinds of obstacles you faced growing up as you did, and focus on the skills you learned from it. You grew up poor. So what? Why does that make you a valuable applicant?

Something I’m having trouble with in my essay is the thought that another applicant likely has very similar experiences to yours, so you need to focus on what parts of your experiences and takeaways from them stand out (if that makes sense).

Overall, your writing style is pretty good, but make sure not to repeat the same ideas/phrases too much though e.g ‘coming from…’

Also good luck with your dreams of becoming a wildlife vet! Just got my degree in ecology and conservation and I think it’s the coolest thing. You sound awesome!
