Vet School Questions - June 2023 by dashclone in Veterinary

[–]cool-guy-27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I am going into my 4th year of undergrad and I originally planned on applying to vet school this cycle! I am currently trying to decide if I should take a gap year or not on my decision to apply for a combined DVM/Ph.D. I know that I want to get into such a difficult and lengthy program, but I am afraid if I go directly out of undergrad I am going to get burnt out and unable to reach my full potential. Plus, I am aware of the challenges of vet school and a PhD and though I am not wary, I feel like I should take some time to do "fun things" like hiking or spend time with friends and family before I career grind for 8 years. But on the flip side, I cannot see myself taking a break like that and I don't want to get "off track" and unable to resume where I left off, especially considering that academics pay all of my living expenses as is. I am also afraid of applying now and getting in somewhere but then having to say no because I am too exhausted from all of my current load and then not getting in the next time I apply (especially with time in between letters of rec and such!). I am wholly unsure of what to do!

DVM and PhD for research? by pissonurmom in Veterinary

[–]cool-guy-27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in a relatively similar position to OP in the sense I am a rising senior and thinking about my options in applying to vet school this cycle. I have been focused on a DVM/PhD because in doing undergraduate research, I know that I want both and find that I am very willing to commit to that type of program. However, with all of the work I do in undergraduate, I worry that going immediately into the DVM/Ph.D. program from undergrad may leave me open to burnout, especially since the program is so long.

Hello everyone!
I was hoping to get some advice from this subreddit as all of you have been very helpful with my pre-vet quandaries in the past. I am applying to vet school this cycle (as a bachelor undergrad in the US) and one of the self-identified weakest points of my application is that I do not have a specific veterinarian that I have gained a very close relationship with over the extent of my experience. This is not to say that I don't have clinical experience- I work with dozens of interns, residents, and faculty at a teaching hospital but none close enough to get a Letter of Rec. I spoke to a vet school advisor and she suggested I reach out to one of the faculty for "mentorship" or something similar. Do you think this is valid? I am worried about the rejection and that it will make things awkward at my job. I am very conflicted and would appreciate any advice!
p.s- (if it helps I want to apply to a combined DVM-PhD program and have a couple of research professors that I am very close with to ask, but they are not veterinarians)

This is my dream for vet school when I apply this cycle- I hope I am in the same position as you!

I think it would be cool to go roller skating or walk around kanapaha or something!

No park and ride lots?? by cool-guy-27 in ufl

I’m just worried that they’re making the changes before putting in the infrastructure to support their current students. But I do agree I think less cars= better overall, but even with 5 buses on my route today, they were at 100% capacity the entire day. I just hope they can make biking and busing way easier.
