Standing out as a Sophomore

Should I mention to the OP that she's already said enough that just about any sorority member from Mizzou reading this thread will be able to tell exactly who she is come recruitment time, so discretion is key?

So she hasn't been accepted to vet school and her statement was hyperbole.

It's important for a pnm to stick to the facts in recruitment and not exaggerate her accomplishments.

She very well may be stating the truth. These program used to be very common in Medical schools (called 6 year programs.) Because it states that admission is guaranteed once you are admitted to the undergraduate program, as long as you complete that program, she technically has been accepted to vet school. Since she has a 3.8 GPA, she'll likely finish her undergraduate work and go on to the vet school program.

For med schools that accepted students directly out of HS, they did two years of college and went directly to medical school regardless of their collegiate performance. These programs were eventually phased out because students were not felt to be mature enough to treat patients after just 6 years of school.
