<p>Hey guys, names Dave!</p>
<p>I plan on applying for Pre-Vet course in either Suny Buffalo or Suny ESF</p>
<p>my gpa so far is an 85 or a flat 3.0
took 3 aps my entire year
(1110 on my sat (out of 1600) (taking it again in oct)
nearly 300 hours of community service (worked at a vet hospital), including some extras
debate club for one year(fresh)
varsity tennis for one year(soph)
took a foreign language class for 4 years
Peer leadership program for 4 years (including senior year)</p>
<p>i was wondering if anyone who attends BU know if the pre-vet course is popular or hard to get into, and if anyone could chance me that would be great.</p>
<p>As for right now i plan on applying UB as Early Decision, i think ESF would be a safety for me, but yet again one can never know.</p>
<p>Thanks Guys,
Dave</p>
<p>Pre-vet is not a major, just an advising track, so at some point (usually sophomore year) you’ll have to choose and apply for an actual major (see link below). Each department at UB sets standards for acceptance into their programs and the criteria/pre-requisites are listed on their website. For admissions, UB evaluates almost all majors on the same basis (engineering and majors requiring a portfolio/audition would be exceptions) so, if you’re competitive for general admissions, your intended major is not really a factor. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t consider either UB or ESF a safety and you may find that you’re deferred to RD at UB due to your gpa and test scores. Prep well for your SAT and make sure you highlight your volunteer and leadership experience and write a strong essay as UB does consider these factors (and they actively promote leadership/volunteer work). Try to keep your grades as high as possible this year and make sure your GC sends them your mid-year report. Good luck!</p>
