Thank you! I really appreciate your advice.
My daughter has applied to the early entry programs at Kansas State, Purdue, and Missouri, but I know they are crazy competitive to get in, and so we are working on a plan for if she doesn’t.
Getting early entry would be her dream and she would take that anywhere, but she couldn’t retake the ACT with covid and only got a 31, which is on the lower end for these programs I am sure. And Missouri notifies so late on their early admit program… She does worry that going to K State,
Purdue, or Missouri would put her at a disadvantage as a second class pre-vet student if she doesn’t get into the early entry program. Any thoughts on that?
We are also working on a plan B if she doesn’t get vet school admission on the first cycle. Her thought would be to get a masters and try again. She has a hard time imagining doing anything but being a vet, and we are struggling to advise her what other careers might be options for smart kids AND pay the bills.
This process is grueling. My daughter is an identical twin. Her twin is going to Tulane with plans to major in molecular and cell biology and pursue a path in health sciences - physical therapist, chiropractor, MD, DO, or PA are all on the table for her.
What was your son’s plan B, if I may ask, and where are you from? We are from Houston.
