heres my dilemma...i'm a senior in high school and failed geometry last year...i'm a tad bad at math...

We Answered:

I am not great at math either so I feel you pain. I had my YOUNGER sister tutor me when I was in college...she was in high school.

You might as well try. This will not be your whole life...a good chuck at the moment, yes...but not the whole thing.

Are my grades good enough so far? Veterinary College Information for high school student?

We Answered:

i have several friends who tried to go to vet school.

The thing that seemed to matter most was that some applicants had worked for a vet, even volunteering, for years.

so your record looks good, but they want to know that you KNOW you will do this, that you can handle the hard parts, and they know that by seeing that you have worked with a vet, and reading the recommendation from that vet.

Veterinary school information for high school student?!?

We Answered:

My daughter is going to Cornell next year to study vet med. so I know about this. I don't know all the vet schools, but the ones I do know are University of Florida, Cornell, Auburn, LSU, and others.

She is getting her 2 year degree at our local community college. She had to take mathematics up to calculus 3, chem 1, chem 2, organic chemistry 1 and 2, and physics 1 and 2.

Besides all that science and math you have to take the regular courses like history, English etc. Getting into Vet school is very competitive no matter where you go. You will first need to get a 4 year degree in Biology. This is where the GPA is critical. You will need to have around a 3.5 GPA to get into Vet school and you also need to have a lot of volunteer hours working with vets.

Good luck and study hard and you'll do it. It takes a lot of dedication, but the rewards will be worth it.

A little added information. The more math and science you take in high school the easier it will be for you in college. To clarify, no you don't go to vet school straight from high school, you first have to get a 4 year degree in some time of biological science, then you apply to vet school.
You can do like my daughter did and first get your 2 year degree at a community college and then go on to university to get your bachelor's degree, or you can go straight to university.

Beginning High School Student?

We Answered:

Freshman year;

1. Be yourself, it’s cliché buts it’s also TRUE. Don’t forget that your entering high school as an independent person and will leave high school that very same way; so don’t let anyone’s problem interfere with you and your life (socially and academically)
2. MAKE SURE; you go to your school’s orientation. Unless you have an emergency it’s not something that you should miss out on. They will tell you everything that you need to know. You might also receive: school schedules, class schedules, maps, sign-ups, and information about the school itself.
IF you miss it then please call the school to try and get these things a little earlier so that you don’t run into problems the first day of school.

3. It’s good to have your own style and as you move up, you will realize that. But if your still a little concerned about common styles in high school, here are some:
Shorts – especially during the summer (beginning of school year)
Cami with Cardigan - same, during summer.
flip flops - summer
Skinny jeans
Hollister, Aero, AE, A&F etc.
Plaid tops
Uggs – during winter
Sandals
Vans, Converse, Nike

Although, I commonly advise one to use their own sense of fashion.

4. Choose the right classes; DO NOT choose a class that you know you can’t handle (such as AP or honors) you will regret it. You might end up failing the class and not get credit; and it can literally destroy your GPA which is pretty tough to bring up. –Try to go for what you can handle, you don’t want to put a lot of stress on yourself during your first year of high school, because you have 3 more years of it.
5. Focus on your grade and don’t procrastinate, that is another thing you will regret near graduation time.
6. BE INVOLVED; Join an extracurricular that you enjoy. Not only will it keep you busy but you might end up making a ton of friends. Or try community service if you want to get that out of the way, if you reach up to a certain amount of hours then you have a better chance at getting a scholarship.
7. Hang with the right crowd and stay away from DRAMA; it comes in all directions so just WATCH OUT.


8. SCHOOL SUPPLIES; It’s best to wait until school starts but I know how stores can run out of stuff easily before school starts, and their deals end quickly. Just try and get the basics. Teachers will say you need highlighters, glue, markers and all that stuff BUT really you don’t . . . its good to keep them at home for projects though.
Here are the basics:
Notebook
Pencils
Pen
Binder or Folder (I recommend a folder for each class unless the teacher specifically says a binder)
