Getting into vet school....

Hello! I've been trying to follow my dream of becoming a vet and I'm finding that getting into vet school is like fighting a monkey for a mango. I decided to start a blog about it for other people who are in my situation. Here is my situation thus far.

• Freshman year of college I was told I would never get into vet school so give up.
• Gave up
• After graduating from college I got a job as an equine vet assistant
• After about a year I decided I wanted to try getting into vet school
• Started back to school part time to finish the few requirements that I had left
• Applied to 8 vet schools (Cornell, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Auburn, Prince Edward Island, Edinburgh, and Colorado)
  
• The rejections rolled in.

The rejection letters are really amazing. Illinois was the first rejection letter. It was a pretty standard "your grades suck, why did you waste our time and your money? Don't do it again" kind of letter. Kansas state never even bothered rejecting me, I just heard from other people that applied that they had received interview letters. Cornell sent an email. Colorado had the single nicest rejection letter that I've ever seen. Props to Colorado for not being jerks!

Rejections are still expected from Auburn and Edinburgh.

In the mean time I started to think about other options. In doing some research I figured out that Ross University in St. Kitts would be a great school to go to. I recently applied there and will probably focus my energy towards getting in there at this point. It might take a few applications, but I'm having a really hard time giving the mango up to the monkey.
