    Any exotic animal vets?

    Cause thats what I wanted to be when I'm older, And I was wondering where the heck you find a college like that to go to? Anyone? I have to start looking at colleges now, NOOOOOO! College applications are going to suck when I have to do them... -sniffle-

    Re: Any exotic animal vets?

    The Gainesville based University of Florida(home of the Gators!) has a extensive vet program.
    Be aware that you need good grades and all, vet programs sometimes are very full, especially exotic programs. Work hard, and go for EVERY scholership, or grant you can, since that might guarentee you a spot in a exclusive program.
    It's very smart to begin early! Good for you, and we always will need exotic vets.

    Re: Any exotic animal vets?

    I've been working my butt off all of highschool so far. Just two more years.. just two more. I have not gotten one C so far. My grades are like split between B's and A's. Would that be good enough, or do I need to start slapping myself to study some? XD

    Vet schools are always full and therefore will take only the best. I would suggest you get your grades up.(all A's), honors classes and you will need some extra curricular activities (like volunteering at an animal shelter, vet office, etc.)...it is that competitive in most cases.

    Good Luck

    The better the grade and the better the work, the better chance of getting choices.
    Always... work as hard as you can for what you believe is important. If you want to go to the best vet schools, and be offered all the chances, you go for it! Sounds like you're already doing well! Good on you!
    edit:
    Yeah!! Extra curricular!! Volunteer at a vet if you can, or a humane society, an exotics rescue.. something to show you'll go that extra mile to get to where you want!
    Be the best, the most outstanding person they can spot for their schools.

    All this will just make getting into the school or your choice (hopefully on a scholarship) all the more easier.
