My son only had a 29 on his ACT, a little higher GPA but not a ton. He was a CVA and worked at a vet clinic and then after his senior year he worked for a horse vet. He wan’t in any clubs, played interscholastic polo, worked at a summer camp all summers each year teaching riding, caring for the horses and living with the 6 - 7 year olds in their cabin. He also volunteered at a hospice. He was accepted into the early admit program at Kansas State, went 3 years undergrad, has a 4.0 so far through 3 years undergrad and 3+ years of veterinary school. It is doable. They really liked he had people experience as well as animal experience and knew what he was getting into academically, emotionally and financially. He changed areas of emphasis a few times and that is perfectly ok. It wouldn’t hurt to try!
