How can I make my vet school application stand out and get accepted?

Question

I have some questions 1. How does the veterinary application work? 2. Who did you get letters of recommendations from? 3. What did you do to make your application stand out? 4. When do you find out if you made it or not? 5. What happens if you get accepted but do poorly on the interview? 6. How many veterinary hours did you have when you applied? 7. Did you think you were going to make it into vet school? Thanks so much for answering my questions! Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | neutered

Thank you for submitting your question regarding veterinary school! The application process was similar to most applications. I used college professors, a local veterinarian with whom I worked and a personal friend for my recommendation letters. To help make my application stand out, I had over the minimum level of experience hours (1000hrs) and I took graduate level microbiolgy courses while still an undergraduate. I also had hours in a wide variety of areas of vet med (small animal, large animal, equine and laboratory animal) to make my application stronger. I received a letter that invited me to interview and it wasn't until after that, that I was actually accepted into school. I honestly do not remember how much time passed between my interview and acceptance letter. I was confident I would be accepted and I believe this helped me during the interview. Good luck!!
