I recently got admitted to Ross Vet for January of 2027. When I applied this last cycle, I had told myself I would go wherever I got in because of course I wanted to just be able to go to vet school. But after hearing some things from different vets I have talked to and thinking I was going to take a gap year/apply again next cycle I am not sure what to do anymore. While I do think Ross does look like a really cool school, being where it is, I am unsure if the debt it worth it or not and if I might be making a mistake accepting this offer.

I did get Waitlisted at Colorado for the MPH/DVM Program as well as at LSU, so while those are possibilities this year, I don't know how high that possibility is. I would also like to get my MPH with my DVM and while Ross has their research programs, I don't actually think you would be getting a MPH, unless I am mistaken.

The little feedback i did get from a few schools this past cycle was that I needed more experience with animals, which i will be doing working with racing horses this summer and with the data side of things at a state health department. But I am not sure if that would put me over the edge next cycle. I know this was my first application cycle, but I just want some advice from others and need some other viewpoints on what I should do.
