DVM

I'm just wondering is there anyone going to school to be a DVM. I just got accepted to the school I want to go to, and I just wanted to know what I'm getting myself into.

My husband attended LSU vet school. I work with numerous vets who attended schools from all over.

It's like medical school, but harder... And you probably are in the Atlantic coast? Some large animal, but more exotics...

And be patient.

And CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

My brother is a DVM.

It was very difficult indeed. He studied so much, he did not have time even for exercise at times. But he's not the biggest fan of exercise around, so take that with a grain of salt.

Though the state he went in has many livestock farms, he did take many exotics classes and now does all the exotics (ie- not dogs or cats) at his clinic.

I dated a guy who was in vet school. He told me that it was quite difficult, more than medical school. Which is probably true. Doctors only deal with humans, while vets have to be prepared to deal with whatever comes through the door (cat, dog, fish, bird, lizard, etc).

When my good friend talked to him about becoming a vet hegave her this piece of advice: "Forget everything you THOUGHT being a vet was going to be like."

I hear that a lot, with it being difficult and all.

I just hope I have a little free time.

Congrats! I don't know how hard it is once you get there, but my line mate in APO applied at least once before, if not twice before she got in.
