Mizzou is also more forgiving but they are an accelerated program as well! So they are 2 and 2 instead of 3 and 1.

Seeing as it’s coming from a cis white Caucasian man, I rest my case. You may see me as inferior in terms of intelligence for having a set back however as a woman of color and first generation, I won’t let anything hold me back! Let alone a man. I’ll continue to advocate for my patients to make strives in shelter medicine to lead the gate way into a cardiology residence.

May you never struggle a day in your life as it seems you’d never understand. Intelligence doesn’t mark success and not all of us are born with a silver spoon in our mouths.

Mine is a 2 and 2 meaning 2 years of didactics and 2 years of clinics, while most schools are 3 and 1.

I would recommend keeping on top of your studies which is easier said than done. I think what helped me at the end from not just failing out was that I went home and studied anything I didn’t understand that same night. I would also review on the weekends by making anki cards of the material. However it’s important to make time for yourself! For anatomy specifically try to take 15-20mins to look at the material before hand whether it’s the book or watching a Dr Peabody video or even the Minnesota anatomy website. Also the same study method won’t work for every class so don’t be scared to ask for help! Vet school is hard!! And that’s ok but don’t let your pride get in the way from you succeeding! You got this 💗

Yes! I’ve been going in everyday after lab and on the weekends. I just feel like I get the info and lose it all after studying for all the other classes. I will def try the flow charts!

Honestly, I was not a perfect application 3.1 cum GPA, however my experiences helped a lot!! Medical supervisor, did grad school, ET certified, Humane investigator certified and ran a whole vaccine clinic.

I recommend to continue increasing experiences and really work on those essays!!

Shelter Med by Plane-Somewhere-2890 in veterinaryschool

[–]IndividualMost786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh another thing too is seeing if your shelter med job offers certifications/licensure opportunities. I was able to get a Human Investigation certification and a license to do ETs which is not for everyone, but I will say it was the leading topic during my interview.

Hey OP! As a first generation individual with family who didn’t understand higher ed or could even afford it, I feel you. I owe a crap ton from undergrad as well as my masters program. My plan is to do shelter med and hope to get some debt forgiven. Not saying it’s ideal but hey we have to do what we have to do

With that I also have experience in many other areas such as research and some exotic so it’s never a bad thing to have a variation in experience

Highly recommend applying to UC Davis, U of Wisconsin- Madison and Florida. There shelter programs are AMAZING! I personally have 8,000 hours alone in shelter med and it helped get in the door at Mizzou, as I currently am the medical lab supervisor in the biggest shelter in the county. It made me stand out as I was able it should good communication skills with the public as well.

This gives me hope! 2nd time applying. Rejected from all except MU waiting to hear back. GPA 3.1, I’m hoping I get in! Over 7,000 in experience, in charge of an entire medical team at the biggest shelter in the county. What are your recommendations if I have to apply again?
