Hopefully this message is passed on and helps someone because I would have loved something like this before I entered vet med. WHAT IF I CAN’T GET IN? I HEAR A LOT OF VET SCHOOLS ONLY ACCEPT 3.5 GPA AND ABOVE?! -bullshit. Ya if you’re looking at an ivory league schools. I know a lot of state side students with a 3.2 gpa and lower get in. You may need to go to an OUT OF STATE SCHOOL. I went to school in the Caribbean. (Rumor has it) Caribbean schools ‘aren’t real vet schools people that can’t get into state schools go there’ 
Ha- maybe. At first if you talk about 'not getting accepted I was denied 13 vet schools. All of them - said no. I tried 4 again the next year. One in the Caribbean said yes. I am now finishing my clinical year, wrote the boards and graduate in May accredited to practice in the states. It was WAY MORE DIFFICULT because I did an expedited program. --it's just as real as any other vet school...BOTTOM LINE : you may get denied- but you're smart you’re going to be a doctor one day (duh) find a way around the dismissal letters. Get outside your comfort zone. Go places- I have ZERO regrets leaving the states and I was petrified to leave in the first place. DO I NEED EXPERIENCE?! WHAT IF I HAVE NONE?
No problem- I was shocked to find ( no offense out there) people who have never touched a horse or a cow. You are not dumb you are not at a 'disadvantage’ you just need a couple days to catch up to speed. Experience HELPS. A lot of questions on my vet school exams I did in fact reflect back on my experiences to get the right answer when learning from lecture did not. YOU WILL FEEL STUPID. YOU WILL FEEL LIKE A FAILURE. 'I DONT THINK I CAN MAKE IT AS A VET’ 
This one is HARDDDDDD to get over. The constant anxiety,stress, self doubt, alllll that crap is real and means you’re doing it right. I am facing this myself with 5 months left. It’s hard. But you HAVE TO PUSH THROUGH. It is an emotional roller coaster. Ride that baby ride. CUT THE ANXIETY CRAP- PULL YOUR SOCKS UP AND JUST F'ING DO IT. 
We are ALL petrified to the point of paralyzation. Myself included. Keeeeeeeep going. Don't let failure paralyze you. Make yourself stronger and accept the challenge. Know you have people in the same boat as you.
YOU CAN DO THIS - —- you really can. Please feel free to message me (cryptorchidness) about ANYthing regarding getting into vetschool and during vetschool I would LOVE to pay if forward and help anyone I can. 
Until next time I'll update more
