hello friends! thank you for being here to watch my first ever KZfaq video!! I’m sorry the quality isn’t the best since I filmed it on my phone and also my partner roasted me for holding my AirPod like a little microphone so please continue to roast me about that. I really appreciate all the support and i hope I answered all your questions! If not definitely let me know and I’ll try to answer them best I can :) also if you hear weird crunching noises in the background that’s Ollie chewing on a cardboard box lol
thanks for watching :)

I like watching these videos after finally entering vet school. Makes me remind of the days where I was dreaming about it in high school decided to take academics seriously. I am 22 now.

Omg thank you so much for answering the question about what we need to do in high school. I don't have any vets near me that have internships so it really took some stress off 😭😭

When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian, but when I grew up, I started to be scared of blood, and I dont know if I would be able to follow that dream, but with ur information I am getting a big courage to do it, thanks 🩷

@cindydoinstuff Жыл бұрын

I love this!! I definitely think you should try to get some experience in the field bc I’ve met people who don’t like human blood but can still do vet stuff! There’s also lots of things you can do with animals not related to blood :)

@Daniela_v29 5 ай бұрын

Follow your dream 🙏🏼

@lemonlizard1 3 ай бұрын

you can totally work on it! I don't love blood but have gotten wayyyy better when I took a co-op. Now the only thing that slightly bothers me is the needle going into the skin. It doesn't actually make me feel uncomfortable my eyes just get watery. Good luck!

I have a similar problem. I would love to become a veterinarian, but I’m squeamish about saliva and anything involving the mouth. Im okay with blood, urine, and all that stuff but I cannot stand anything that is related to the mouth area. I think it’ll be okay though

hiii i’m a high schooler hoping to become a vet and this video was so helpful especially since i related to so much of what you said. a few questions though-when you showed the total number of hours on your app, there’s 1500 extracurricular. what does that mean, like college clubs? also, did you get the research by emailing a professor you knew or some other way? is volunteer experience less valuable than paid jobs, or should i still do both? thank you if you ever answer this question (altho i know it’s a year late) 😊

@cindydoinstuff 3 ай бұрын

Hi!! I’m so glad this was helpful hehe! So 1500 extracurricular included mostly clubs and a scholarship program I was in and events I worked on with that! I got my research position just by looking up professors in my field, reading some papers they’ve published to see who was most interesting to me, and then emailing them to ask if they had any openings for student research! I think paid and volunteer can be equally important! I don’t think you can go wrong either way tbh but I think doing at least some of both is good! Feel free to dm me on Instagram @cindydoinstuff if you ever have more questions!! Good luck ❤

woah, that was really interesting and also very enlightening for me as a 18yo who is still trying to apply to college, plus I am from Brazil, so it's kind of very different from your experience, probably, but could you tell me if is there any exchange programs at your school or if you know any? it's literally a dream to work as a veterinarian, and to do it overseas would be a great experience ❤️

I am an upcoming junior in high school planning to go into running start at WSU, do you know any vet students who went through running start and what they think about it. It's definitely a smart financial decision, but I'm wondering how much it will really impact my schooling. :) (also I'm not sure if running start is like a nationally used term or not, but if not, its taking classes at a college before graduating hs that your hs school pays for)

@cindydoinstuff Ай бұрын

I have heard of people taking college courses in hs! Are you doing this to avoid 4 years of undergrad?

@cindydoinstuff Ай бұрын

It will only make a difference if you take prerequisites for vet school through the running start program! Otherwise it won’t impact it much

@gigi5892 Жыл бұрын

Was the internship paid or unpaid. I’m thinking of doing a internship at my local zoo but it’s difficult because it’s unpaid and I have a part time job on top of school I need to have in order to pay for housing and school tuition not covered by scholarships

@cindydoinstuff Жыл бұрын

a lot of internships in this field are unpaid unfortunately but I would look into seeing if your school offers grants to cover the cost of your living during an unpaid internship! I used this resource a lot! But also sometimes I think it is beneficial to do an unpaid internship even if it means you have to dip into your savings just because having an awesome experience is worth more than money in the long run!!

Paying off student loans is tough for sure, almost everyone in school struggles with that so you won’t be alone! Typically I think most people just pay it off after they graduate. Working during school won’t make much of a dent 😅

Did your hours sort of overlap? For example, were some of your volunteer hours also included in your animal experience hours?

@cindydoinstuff Жыл бұрын

that is a great question! No, they don't overlap. I was recommended by my advisor to keep everything seperate (I think according to the guidelines you are not allowed to have experiences count for double time. I hope that makes sense!

@@cindydoinstuff Thanks so much!! What kinds of things did you do for volunteer experience that didn’t constitute as animal experience?

Does being at a good University affect your admission into Veterinary School at all? Theres only about 5 Veterinary focused Schools here in Canada so it’s really easy to feel like I’m not doing enough…

It depends on the school! Different vet schools have different requirements but I do think most of them require a lot of chemistry credits. I had to do quantitative chem, organic chemistry 1/2, biochemistry
