Hello, everyone
Here is my first video on how to get into vet school! I hope you find it helpful and please ask me any questions you may have!
Also, please keep in mind that these are my opinions based on my experiences applying. There are many different ways to get into vet school and many right answers to the same question. The information I have shared is simply the information that I wish I had known before applying. Also, please remember that I am not yet a veterinarian. I am a member of the class of 2020.

Hello, everyone!
I hope this post will give you a better insight into how I completed my prerequisites for vet school in 3 years and how you can too!
This is a chart depicting which of the classes I took (at Michigan State) that fulfilled the prerequisites of my instate CVM (Michigan State). With these classes I ultimately was able to apply to 6 out of state schools in addition to my instate school.
OSP = Out of State Prerequisite that differed from my instate prerequisite

Senior Year: I applied to vet school between my Sophomore and Junior years. I condensed my prerequisites into 3 years and had I not been accepted I would have spent my senior year completing my bachelors degree.
