i’m a junior and majoring in biology (pre-vet) and have a backup plan as a vet tech. i also want to add another backup plan by double majoring as biology (pre-vet) and forensic science.

my gpa hasnt been good but i’m doing what it takes to get it where it needs to be. for the forensic science program, you have to have a 2.5 to get in. the advisor in the forensic program put in 2 petition forms to remove the 2 failed classes that i retook and i got a better grade in, to bump my gpa a bit. i probably wont get in the program until 2014 or so.

as far as pursuing the vet career, i’m still pushing myself. but if vet school doesnt work out, i can look at vet tech and i can look at forensic science, that way it doesnt seem like i wasted a degree this whole time.

right now my current grade is a C in math but plan to bring it up to a B or A at the end; and i have a C in gen chemistry 1 and plan to get a B or A as well ( i’m taking chem recitation as well and we will have the same grade as lecture class) my gpa should be 2.05 or maybe higher because of the petition, by the end of this semester and then after this fall, it should be 2.33 or higher.

i wont be able to see someone in career services on campus until next week, so i wanted your advice as of right now.

do you think my plan is realistic and worth pursuing?
