I hope you enjoy today's video!! and thank you for 3000 subscribers!!! I can't believe how many people are supporting this channel. It means the absolute world to me, so thank you thank you thank you! 🥰 PS. sorry for the lighting changes in the video, the weather was doing crazy things the day I filmed!

Super helpful video, I’m planning on applying to WCVM and I’ve always been worried about my grades! Its nice to hear you be realistic about what you got, rather than what most people say “you need very high grades” which gives me too much room to worry lol

Congratulations on 3000 subscribers!! It was literally just yesterday you reached 1000!! Thank you for sharing your vet school experience and tips! It’s been really helpful to me.

I love your videos! Your videos have inspired me to plan on going to vet school after I finish my RVT program. Hope everything is going well for you!

My girlfriend just got into vet school and I did a search for vet school vlog, let me tell you, we watch these videos together and they have been invaluable for her prepping for this fall 2021 first semester. Keep it up!

Thank you so much this will be so helpful you are truly inspiring

Congrats on 3000+ followers!

Thanks for this Amanda, was super helpful!! ❤️I was just wondering what your average was for both of your last two full-time semesters?

Can you tell me what are some pre-requisites for high school classes that would be good to take?

Hi Amanda !!　　Thanksssss for your great video! it helps me a lot !! Btw do you have any idea about the pre-vet program in Canada?

Hi I’m in ninth grade my name is Yshiali santiago Do you live in New England area and my dream is to become a veterinarian I’ve already been excepted into this high school that has an agricultural program is there any tips and advice on making it through really hard classes and how to get into a good college and stuff like that

Would histology and comparative histology but in humans be considered a cell biology course? I had a 4 hour lab with both. I went to Waterloo University…But always going to Guelph University because their library was amazing! Thank you! Susan

Hi Amanda. Your video was really helpful and keep up the good work. Could you please tell me if I can use my undergrad courses from a full time four year degree as prerequisites on the application?

What specialty did you pursue in Veterinarian Medicine?

Can i take vet course if i have no science background, if so what courses should i take to apply for vet school

Hey Amanda, I want to be a vet and I became addicted to your videos. Just wondering can you take your pre requisite courses in any of the years leading up to application or do you have to take them the year of application?

Hi! I was wondering for the stats course, can it be a psychology stats or does it have to be general stats? Also, can there be overlap between the courses used for prereqs and the courses in the last 2 semesters?

Hi! I'm an international student and i want to apply to U of G Vet School, but I don't really understand how to apply to the 8 courses I have to take before applying to DVM. I just have to search the courses and apply or is there a degree to study them?

Hey Amanda!! I've been trying to know more about the university of Guelph . I wanna go there so I'll be an international student. How much will the fees be?

Hi I recently found your channel and I have a question for you! :) I’m a senior in high school and I graduate in May. So far in college I listed nursing as my major but I’ve always wanted to be a veterinarian. I have no experience with animals but I’ve taken “veterinarian” like classes (ex: aquatic science, equine science, small animal management, etc) and I loved those classes, but I was wondering how you wanted to know veterinary was for you? And what do you recommend me to do to figure out if it’s truly my passion? Thanks so much! 💛

Do I have to take all of these? Helpful video btw

Never mind Miss Amanda, I will watch this video no need to reply to my other comment 😃👍

Do you think graduate and undergraduate cohort have different average to get in? I personally think it is harder to get high average with 3rd and 4th year courses compared to the first year courses.

Hello Amanda,i just wanted to ask if it is necessary for the international students to have a vet experience, cause in a country where i live high school students are not really allowed to volunteer in clinics or shelter houses!?

Hi Amanda! I'm an American Pre-Vet student looking into applying to OVC, and I was wondering when these Pre-Requisite courses need to be done in reference to your intended starting date. Most of the schools in America only require your Pre-Requisite courses to be done by the summer directly before you begin school there, but it seems like OVC wants them all done by the time you submit your application. Is this correct? Thank you for your help and your amazing channel :)

Hi Amanda, I hope you’re still answering questions. I just have a question regarding the admission requirements for the OVC. For the academic prerequisite courses, I noticed that it says that we must have a 2 semester courses or 1 full year course (1 credit) for Humanities or Social Sciences. Is it possible to have 0.5 credits (1 class) from Humanities and 0.5 credits (1 class) from Social Sciences? Or do we have to have that 1 credit from either Humanities OR Social Sciences independently? I would much appreciate the help!

Am busy watching this because I have just applied for BVM and I hope to get in 2022 and be watching more of your videos as a guideline 🙏🙏🍀

if you don't get your desired grade or fail a pre req can you retake the course? Btw love ur vids

Hey Amanda! Im a student at the University of Florida in my sophomore year I am planning on applying to at least 5 vet schools but the ones im interested in have different pre-reqs and some of these pre-reqs are just not available for me. Im already taking 4 semesters at a local community college to fulfill orgo and physics but i can't attend any animal nutrition (NCSU req) or anatomy and physiology courses (CSU req). If i don't take these courses will i automatically be denied by the college or should some other upper level bio classes help? Im already taking genetics of domestic animals, animals in human history (how we evolved and came to domestication etc), and intro to animal sciences, and canine + feline genetics (basically all the animal science courses my university offers).

Hello Amanda, I hope you are doing well! I'm currently a fourth-year biology student in the Philippines and I intend to apply to the veterinary medicine program as I aspire to become a veterinarian like you. However, my family is planning to migrate to Canada, and based on the requirements of veterinary admission to OVC, I do not have enough hours for the veterinarian or clinical experience. I am wondering if I can apply to a veterinary technician program in Ridgtown campus for two years then work in a vet clinic to obtain hours of experience then apply to OVC eventually? If so, will my grades from my pre-requisite courses still be valid? Assuming I apply after four years after finishing my undergrad. I am truly grateful for your amazing channel and I would appreciate your answer.

Hi Amanda! what program did you apply for the undergraduate program? I want to apply but i don't know which program to start with

Hi how long did it take you to complete the course requirements 2 or 4 years

Hi! Can I take LPN (licensed practical nursing) as my pre-vet course?

hi! i’m currently a sophomore in highschool but i’ve been doing a lot of research on uni of guelph and requirements because i’m hoping after i finish gr 11 i can get early acceptance. For vet school, do i have to do my pre vet at a university or can i just do a 2 year degree in biology in college. Would they prefer students that went to universities then students that went to college? also what classes did you need to take in your senior year of highschool to get into pre vet?

Hey there! I don’t really understand the concept of undergrad- bachelors- actual university, masters etc..?I don’t understand how it all works cuz in my head it’s just 🙌🏼university🙌🏼. And done. Could you help me out? I’m kinda young but I’m really passionate about studying vetrinary in a few years, I just need help explaining the concept of studying it and what steps I need to take. Thank you🤍 (ps. I’m looking into the university of Queensland in Australia, or a local one in my country.. in case that helps X)

Girl I'm taking cell biology right now and I FEEL YOU - really not vibing with this class haha :')

What are examples of social science course ?

Hey Amanda. I have very urgent questions. So do i have to take that courses before starting to apply to a vet school? I mean I'm about to finish high school i thought that I could study my career immediately, but I notice that i have to complete those courses Right? And how much time they take?Thanks for the video by the way, best regards🎉

Hi @studentvetamanda Amanda I hope you're still checking your comments I'm a grade 12 student and I want to apply for BVMS but I crossed my application deadline as I figured out my course later and now I'm devastated . Is bvsc and bvms the same and if I choose bvsc can I do surgery just like bvms ? Or will it be different and if I enroll into a 4 year pre vet school can I do masters after that and then perform surgery or I need to do bachelor's in vet med again ? Please help me

I can second that mcb 2050 was not a fun time

Hey Please I need, your help, please answer my comments when you see this. I am so confused. I want to apply to a school in USA like Virginia tech,but after doing my research,the school request for a prerequisite course and I was confused. I kept wondering where can I get this prerequisites courses because am not from USA and there is no pre vet school in my country. Right now I am in my second year of study,I am studying zoology in my university. I was just wondering if this prerequisites courses are course that should be among the course that are taught in my program. I am in my second year,first semester,the course take 4 years to complete and when I am done I will be graduating with a BSc in zoology. After my research About Virginia tech,the school asked for a BSc in any major and also request for the following prerequisites courses: General Biology: 2 semesters with labs. ...( Biology was taught in my first year for two semesters,it is also taught in my second year along with genetics, the course code in my second year first semester are bio 201,bio 251 and bio 201. Bio 251 is called genetics, biology will always be taught through out my years till my final year which it my 4th year) Organic Chemistry: 1 semester with lab. ...( This course was taught in my first year for two semesters and also in my second year for two semesters. But I think it will also be taught in my third year) Physics: 2 semesters with labs. ...( Physics are only taught in my first year for two semesters,the course code is Phy 101 for first semester and phy 102 for second semester) Biochemistry: 1 semester. ...( This course code is called BCH and it is taught in my second year first semester) English: 2 semesters. .( English was taught in my first year for 2 semester, like maths and humanities/ social science,they are taught only in my first year) Math: 2 semesters. ...(like English was taught in my first year for 2 semester) Humanities/Social Science: 2 semesters. .( This one like maths and English are taught in first year for two semesters) Medical Terminology: 1 semester.( I don't know more about this ). There are a lot of course taught in my zoology program I would have list them out but the comments will be too long.

Hey ...i wanted to ask that do we need high school mathematics to enroll in this course ..I m from india .and I have only done phy chem and bio in 12 class..no maths....or is their any way I can do some foundation course for maths ✨

heyy sista... I'm from India 🇮🇳. I'm like to do veterinary in abroad... and I'm doing BSc zoology...Can I get admission in vet school through this degree or bsc chemistry........ and what's the other stuff which I've to need???..

Did your pre reqs require chemistry?

Can one get into the OVC DVM program with an undergrad from a different university? (assuming you've checked off all 8 prerequisites)

In the US I have to do o chem, physics, and calculus as well 😩

Hey Amanda 👋 hopefully you're still active. I just wanted to know if you took the undergrad program at the Uni of Guelph or some other university? And how long was the duration of the program
