@drkatiethevet: Get a Masters or Retake Prereqs?! Answer is different for everyone. If your Prereq grades are low, you may need to replace them… RETAKE THEM! (And get an A😎). If your Total GPA needs help and you’d like to replace a few Upper Level Science Elective Prereqs, find a Master’s with classes that will count as those Prereqs!! Bottom line: you want the classes in the masters to be counting as Prereqs as well as Increasing your GPA! Another tip: use a GPA Calc to predict what your Total GPA will be if you take those masters classes and get great grades… how high will you get your Total?!

For those looking for a masters program check out Texas A&M Biomedical Sciences Masters Non-thesis option. I’ve been able to take domestic animal anatomy, histology, and immunology. A lot of these classes are taught by professors at the vet school. Although more rigorous than undergrad my masters GPA is better than my undergraduate GPA.

In addition, depending on the MS you can boost aspects of your application like research! I did a one year biology MS with a certificate in biomedical sciences primarily bc I wanted more research hours and a slight boost in my GPA. A lot of these programs are designed to help people into professional schools so pay attention to that as well, they often have really strong advisors to help your applications

Will vet schools accept the grades from community college in replacement of the ones from a public 4 year university?

I currently am missing organic chemistry 2 and got a C in Organic 1 and General chemistry 1. Should I retake General Chemistry 2 to have a better grade and retake Organic Chemistry 1 before I move forward to Organic Chemistry 2?

This video came just in time! Grad student working on a masters in Bio and currently have a 4.0 GPA and 3.6 cumulative GPA, but my science GPA is lower. I may have calculated it wrong, but I THINK it’s at a 2.9. Currently retaking classes and considering retaking some older classes for this very reason! This feels like a sign!

Im currently trying to get into vet school but my overall GPA leaves more to be desired, my last 45 hours science show my improvement (Only 3 c’s). Would you recommend going back and fixing the classes i got the lower grades in?
