Should I go into this cycle hopeful or not?
I’m applying for vet school this cycle, and from the start I’ve thought that my chances of getting accepted anywhere were very low. I’m a biology major with a 3.97 cGPA, 3.94 sGPA, but only about 400 vet experience hours, 27 animal experience hours, no jobs and 4 recommendations (2 vets, organic chem. professor and arts professor). I did do research for a year, go volunteering with veterinarians abroad, and I’m doing a second minor in fine arts, but aside from these I believe I’m not competitive. As of right now, I got an interview for Glasgow, got rejected for Edinburgh, and am waiting on the other universities.
My top choice as of right now is Glasgow, since I love the effort they put into making students comfortable with traveling, the spiral curriculum, facilities, location, etc. I’ve been wanting to inform myself on the odds of entering after you’ve been interviewed there, because I don’t want to get my hopes up considering my application is very poor (in my opinion), but I don’t really have any statistics so far. Anyone here got any info on those odds? Should I accept that I just might not get into any schools this cycle?
(For extra info, I also applied to Purdue, Wisconsin, Illinois, Cornell, Florida, Minnesota & Mississippi. I know Cornell is a definite no, but I still applied. My decisions are mostly based on the fact that I do not have physiology or animal nutrition, so that really limited the schools I could apply to.)
Thanks to anyone willing to answer <3
