If you've ever stared at a list of 60+ vet schools wondering "which ones am I actually competitive for right now?" — this one's for you. We just launched the Vet School Fit Matcher, a free tool built exclusively for this community that analyzes your profile against every major AVMA-accredited vet school and tells you exactly where you stand. Here's what it does 👇 You enter: ✏️ Your GPA 🕐 Your vet experience hours 📍 Your state of residency 📬 How many LORs you have (and what kind) 📚 Every prereq course you've completed And it instantly sorts every school into one of four buckets: ✅ Meets All Requirements — you're in the competitive pool 📚 Would Qualify — Need Courses — here's exactly what's missing ⚠️ Borderline GPA — here's exactly how far the gap is 📋 Requirements Not Yet Met — here's exactly what you still need No more guessing. No more Googling 12 different school websites. Just answers. What makes this different 💡 👉 61 schools — US, Caribbean, Canada, UK, Australia, Ireland, and more 👉 School-specific prereq logic — it knows that Oregon State waives gen-ed if you have a bachelor's, that UGA requires 8 credits of upper-division biology, that Penn Vet prereqs are matriculation requirements only, and hundreds of other nuances 👉 LOR and hours tracking — if you're short on letters or experience hours, the school still shows up with specifics on what you need rather than disappearing 👉 International toggle — US students can opt in to see international schools when they're ready 👉 Grade tracking — enter your grades and get flagged if a course doesn't meet a school's minimum grade requirement ⚠️ One important note This tool is for guidance and planning — not a replacement for doing your own research. Requirements change, and you should always verify directly with each school before applying. That said, we update the data annually to keep it as current as possible. Ready to use it? Check it out in the classroom under the Picking Your Vet School Workshop! Built with love for the Pre-Vet Skool community.

I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you just discovered your love for veterinary medicine or you’re putting the finishing touches on your application this cycle, you belong in this community. I’m Dr. Nisana, a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. I built this space because I love working with students, but not the politics of universities. This is a place where you can: 🔬 Explore real clinical cases that make you think like a vet 📋 Get support on every part of the application process 💬 Ask me anything — no question is too small 🤝 Connect with other students who share your dream As a founding member, you can help me to create and shape the community and resources inside! A few things I want you to know: You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up. The students who get noticed by vet schools aren’t always the ones with the perfect GPA — they’re the ones who are intentional, prepared, and passionate. That’s exactly what we’re building here. Step 1: Introduce yourself below! Tell us where you are in your journey — are you just starting out, or are you deep in the application process? I’d love to get to know every one of you. So you are aware: I will be filling the classroom over time. Some resources I'm going to level-lock. So, this means you will need to "gain points" to unlock some resources. Step 2: GAIN POINTS- You gain points when another member likes one of your comments or posts! (1 like = 1 point) Level 1 - 0 points Level 2 - 5 points Level 3 - 20 points Level 4 - 65 points Level 5 - 155 points Level 6 - 515 points Level 7 - 2,015 points Level 8 - 8,015 points Level 9 - 33,015 points Please, please provide any feedback about what's working for you or not working for you in this community!
