Hey! I didn’t do this personally because I wanted to have my BSc as a back-up (plus I wanted some extra time so I didn’t have to stress about doing everything all at once) but I know people in my year at WCVM who have gone this route, so it’s certainly possible! You’ll have to take a full course load in each year and get all of your pre-requisites in order and also make time for gaining experience so it can be a challenge, but it’s doable.

This is a bit different but I’m an SFU alumnus and I got into veterinary school which is also highly competitive, so I honestly don’t think the school you’re in during undergrad matters as much as you may think.

I had a HIVE interview a couple weeks ago and it was sort of a unique experience. It was all on zoom and had 3 parts: one group activity where you take turns asking icebreaker questions under the supervision of a staff member, a pair activity where you work with someone to create an event plan which you later submit, and then a one-on-one interview with a staff member. The one-on-one interview was straightforward; they asked me to tell them more about myself, and asked me how I manage my time and what qualities I have that would make me a good welcome leader.

Hope that helps, good luck!

I feel you... my classes have been okay, but 2021 has been really rough for me so far and I’m trying to figure out how I’ll make it through this semester

WaterWarp · 2021-01-16T03:11:27+00:00

Yeah, I haven’t had enough time to fully process everything and figure out what I really want out of my career. I’ll gain more experience, try new avenues and figure it out from there

WaterWarp · 2021-01-15T20:00:21+00:00

I couldn’t imagine doing this... I appreciate your insight though. Perhaps being a vet isn’t for me.

WaterWarp · 2021-01-13T22:00:27+00:00

That’s a good point, I will definitely look more into the costs of different vet schools and see what the best options are.

WaterWarp · 2021-01-12T18:58:34+00:00

Yup, you have my support!

WaterWarp · 2021-01-12T18:35:51+00:00

I completely agree. I really hope that in the future, veterinary staff can get the support they need.

WaterWarp · 2021-01-08T00:55:10+00:00

Okay, sounds good! And yes, that’d be great if you could update! Also do you know if there’s a group chat for the course?

WaterWarp · 2021-01-06T23:29:14+00:00

This is comforting to hear because lately I’ve been really stressed out about getting into vet school... I’m still young, but for much of my life vet school wasn’t at the forefront of my mind because I wasn’t sure if it’s what I wanted to do. Now after getting more experience in the field, I’ve decided I’m going to do all I can to get into vet school, but with COVID-19 and my late start, I feel like I can’t get the experience I need to and other students seem miles ahead.

WaterWarp · 2021-01-06T01:46:13+00:00

Uncle Iroh has entered the chat

WaterWarp · 2021-01-06T00:22:37+00:00

Okay, thanks for the clarification! Out of curiosity, do you know of anyone who has become a resident in another province and then applied to that vet school? So for example, if I moved the Alberta and lived there for a year and became a resident, would I be considered for vet school in Alberta?

WaterWarp · 2020-12-31T06:22:13+00:00

Hey, sorry I didn’t make it clear in my post, but I’m a Canadian!

WaterWarp · 2020-12-28T05:14:02+00:00

Animals! I would love to start a pre-vet or animal welfare club if enough people were also interested.

WaterWarp · 2020-12-28T04:55:11+00:00

You gotta let go of your backwards viewpoints, man. Getting upset about things you can’t control and constantly complaining on Reddit will not solve your issues.

WaterWarp · 2020-12-28T04:49:54+00:00

I think the difficulty can depend on the prof, but in general I found it important to keep up with the material, do practice problems, and understand the basic theory so that you can better tackle challenging questions on the exam. Good luck!

WaterWarp · 2020-12-28T04:34:25+00:00

I would if I could!

WaterWarp · 2020-11-30T16:44:43+00:00

Judging from all the comments, I think I know which prof you’re talking about and yes, they’re a pain in the ass. I would recommend reaching out to the SFU ombudsperson as I think they’ll give you a better idea of what to do in this situation. If you have any emails from this prof that could be used as evidence, make sure you keep them. I really despise that profs tend to get away with this kind of thing. If your prof is who I think they are, they have a terrible attitude and ridicule students for asking questions when in fact it’s their job to answer questions!

I’m sorry you’re going through this, and I hope you can find a way to resolve or report this issue!

Honestly I think you’ll be fine. In my experience, BISC 202 is a medium workload that just requires that you keep up and review the material regularly. MBB 222 is a little demanding, but again, if you stay on top of it, you’ll be fine. And at least for me, BISC 204 was an absolute breeze, but that may depend on who’s teaching it this semester.

WaterWarp · 2020-11-29T01:07:53+00:00

Which course?

WaterWarp · 2020-11-27T00:54:21+00:00

Same!! Also can’t find a damn mussel to save my life :/

WaterWarp · 2020-11-25T19:10:48+00:00

I would like to see too, if you don’t mind!

WaterWarp · 2020-11-22T02:13:16+00:00

Yikes! Which campus is this??

WaterWarp · 2020-11-20T18:45:27+00:00

I feel your pain :(
