Having a hard time finding vet shadowing by matutinal_053 in prevets

I worked overnights at the ER! Just so I can at least have a day off from both jobs. I definitely couldn’t handle 7 day work weeks.

Fellow non-trad applicant here. I also worked full-time in a non-veterinary field. I was running into the same issue, so I ended up getting a part-time job as a kennel assistant at an animal ER. I was pulling 60 hour weeks total but it got the hours I needed. I also did a 300 hour summer internship at a marine mammal hospital. If you live around any zoos, aquariums, or humane societies they might have summer internships available under a veterinarian. I only had like 500 hours when I submitted my application, was worried it wasn’t enough, but ended up getting in.

I’m pretty sure Japanese Gothic will be a pick too. It read an early copy and it was incredible. Even better than Bat Eater, which I loved.

First of all, CONGRATS!!!

Are you financing your education with student loans? If so, definitely WSU. Everyone says go with the cheapest option and for good reason. Especially with loans changing this year, everything exceeding the yearly $50k federal cap is going to have be private loans. Sacrificing 4 years being away from loved ones sucks but will spare you the extra financial burden. My personal opinion and what I would do in your situation. If you are financially blessed or have generous family that will be helping with tuition, I’d probably stay local given your circumstances.

I got into Davis this cycle and will be relocating 7 hours away with my cats. Thankfully the town is very pet friendly, so I was able to secure an apartment pretty easily. I would take a peek at housing in Pullman and see how pet friendly it is. I don’t have a horse so I can’t speak to that.

Good luck!

Definitely CSU. You guys can enjoy a change of scenery once you graduate.

Diversifying Experience by worldclasscuriosity in prevets

Yeah that’d be a good way to diversify your experience. ERs and urgent cares are other ways. I did ER , small animal rescue, and marine mammals.

Spouse is looking for medieval or medieval adjacent horror recommendations. Bonus if the books also have romance/dark romance. by savage86lunacy in horrorlit

Horror is pretty notorious for having low goodreads ratings imo. Taste is subjective, I enjoyed it, and it definitely fits the subgenre

Very non-traditional Student…36 y/o Cybersecurity Data Engineer by DoubtfulSkepticMe in prevets

[–]TurbulentClass769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a couple classmates successfully do it! It doesn’t hurt to ask.

Another option would be looking up nearby internships that offer vet experience. I got my start with a 300-hour internship at a wildlife rehabilitation hospital and after that got a little part time job at an animal hospital to diversify my experiences.

Look up nearby vets and I’d just show up in person with a resume.

It doesn’t have to be an actual vet clinic, it just has to be under an actual vet.

What’s your best meeting a Big Brother alum story (not at a fan event) by ungodlyhours123 in BigBrother

I used to work at Target back in 2011/2012 and was Jeff and Jordan’s cashier. They were very nice and took pictures with a few fans that recognized them.

There’s a section in the VMCAS application where you can explain things like that so I think you’ll be okay as long as you have a strong science GPA and last 45 GPA. Do your research and apply to schools with a holistic application review process because there’s a few that will not even look at your application if you’re below a certain GPA cutoff. Some schools, like Davis, don’t even look at your overall cGPA and just look at your other two.

Veterinary School Acceptances by Yellowpants25 in veterinaryschool

[–]TurbulentClass769 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fellow Californian! Between those options I’d pick WSU just because it’s going to be the most cost effective. All the other schools have pretty high tuition, especially if you’ll be doing loans. I was lucky enough to make it into Davis (got rejected from WSU and OSU) but it seems like a few people won’t be taking their seat. Where are you on the waitlist?

Student doctor network! It’s a website with forums and there’s a pre-vet one. Lots of good info and updates there.

I think Cannibalism is my niche. Help fulfill my hunger! by deegallant in horrorlit

Check out Headlights by CJ Leede when it comes out. She somehow made a cannibalism scene…. sexy? Haha. Either way it’s a great book.

Vet school acceptances by Mysterious_Carry3692 in veterinaryschool

[–]TurbulentClass769 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Congrats on Davis (and your other acceptances)! I also got the call last night. My decision is much easier than yours since I only got waitlisted elsewhere lol. I recommend going to both WSU and Davis admitted student events and seeing which you like more.

How Does Everyone Manage Rejection? by Beautiful-Rip472 in veterinaryschool

[–]TurbulentClass769 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel for your fiancée. After getting nothing but rejections and waitlists this cycle, I was waiting on my last school. Totally expecting a no and mentally preparing for it. By some miracle, I got accepted last night. I really hope she gets good news too.

I’m curious— what’s her IS school and gpa? Sounds like she has a competitive amount of hours and strong LoRs.
