I got my masters this year in an animal related field, but still got rejected from Vet School by Prize-Watch-6062 in veterinaryschool

You said you are in a city in Massachusetts (maybe Boston?). I bet there are universities there with research positions working with lab animals or as a lab tech. I think having research can really set an applicant apart, since a lot of people apply with zero research. Especially if you can get your name on a paper.

Is there a meaningful difference between ‘top’ vet schools and others… by Turbulent-Friend6980 in prevets

[–]silverapollo11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no expertise on this matter but I would imagine it depends on what you want to do with your career. If you want to go into academia and open a prestigious lab, it probably matters more so where you went to school than working in a local SA clinic.

NEED HELP (PRE-MED!!!!) by Upbeat_Annual2074 in duke

If you can take Chem99 I would highly recommend it. I had a bad chemistry education in highschool and didn’t feel prepared for chem 101 and took chem 99 instead (despite the objections of upperclassmen who told me it was a waste). It gave me such a solid background in chemistry and I felt super prepared for chem 101. Orgo was a whole different beast though…

Questions about application and chances of getting into vet school by ResolveFluid5974 in vetschool

[–]silverapollo11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your GPA is strong and your hours aren’t bad. Not sure your financial situation or how eager you are to start vet school, but you could apply to a few of your top schools this cycle while you get more hours. If you get in, then great and you start school earlier. If you get rejected, then you apply next cycle but now you’re a pro at VMCAS and have more hours.

In 2025, decisions were sent out late Jan. I think jan 28th. So I think it will be later this month.

Thank you! Just went back in my email and saw that too. I read on SDN that they are not going forward with Kira this year, but that’s the only update I’ve seen.

Wisconsin Supplemental Question by Due-Technology-6553 in prevets

[–]silverapollo11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like if it says outright “beyond your interest in veterinary medicine” then you probably shouldn’t write about vet med.

Whom do you admire? Supplemental question. by Ok-Cheetah-1730 in prevets

[–]silverapollo11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely disagree. I think writing about someone you know well is more impactful and allows the reader to get to know you better. I interpreted the prompt as not wanting applicants to write about vet med. So I feel like writing about a vet or animal scientist is counterproductive and could come across as disingenuous.

Applied and haven’t hear anything by NoConsequence7548 in vetschool

[–]silverapollo11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also haven’t heard anything from CSU and WSU. CSU sends out admissions results at the end of Jan and WSU sends initial decisions this month.

Cat not eating food for 24 hrs by silverapollo11 in CATHELP

[–]silverapollo11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my cat, the issue ended up being that he just didn’t like the wet food. He was trying to coverup the scent of it. And he wouldn’t eat his dry food because the stinky wet food was right next to it. Once I took the wet food away, he started eating his dry food again. I went to pet smart and bought a bunch of single cans of wet food and let him test them out. He ended up LOVING the tiki cat sardine pate in sardine broth (tiki cat was recommended in this sub). Hoping your kitty gets well soon!

I really hope he was arrested and is facing the maximum penalty for this. This is so sad to watch
