My wife is a vet: Tell her to look at this link http://aavmc.org/georgia.aspx And be sure to call an uga admissions officer at the vet school about tips on getting in She should also try and start logging hours with different types of vets (small, horse, dairy, emergency ect)
Most robust congratulilations for overcoming her raising at heathen hands, attaboy
It is much harder to get into vet school from SC than medical school since we don't have a vet school. At one time they only took two students a year at Georgia. I knew folks who went the Tuskegee route and transferred to auburn later. I wish her all the best.
Congrats. Makes you proud, doesn't it? My younger daughter was on the honor roll at grad. Kinda funny to see 14 asian kids and a little blonde up on stage for the awards.
She's now 3 years into an animal sciences degree, just had her first vet school interview, and has discovered its a whole hell of a lot tougher to hold a 80+ average in university than it was to graduate with a 96 average.
She is working this summer at a hog operation that's affiliated with the U. She is supposed to be working on a research project, but there have been some troubles with getting it rolling, so she's just a hired hand, docking tails and inoculating, castrating...It just makes me shake my head to think of my 5'5" blonde out there manhandling breeding sows.
Never woulda guessed it.

Yeah, thankfully Clemson has a pre vet. Whew. UGA takes (at this time) 17 SC students a year, last I heard Tuskeegee takes 5. She's going to have to hustle!

tr00f.
That is truly something to be proud of. I have three kids, all grown adults now, but only one even graduated from high school. Yes, there are reasons (excuses) but they are all doing well now.

Thats good news. I dated a girl while at Clemson that got to go to vet school after only two years of undergrad. I Googled her (name) recently and she is a professor at some northern vet school now.
BTW, if you know Satch Krantz, the director of the Riverbanks Zoo (or he was), he might could help. He was in my invertebrate zoology lab when I was a freshman and he was senior. A great guy too.
