VIN Foundation Apply Smarter Tools
Veterinary school is expensive. You might be focused right now on just getting into veterinary school, but choosing a school without thinking about the price can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. To save yourself heartache and years of financial stress, commit to Applying Smarter. To date, no study shows your income as a veterinarian increases because of the school you attend or the amount you pay for your education. Thus, there is no “Harvard effect” for veterinarians.
Join VIN Foundation Executive Director Jordan Benshea and Board Member Dr. Tony Bartels as we help pre-veterinary students understand the concept of how to Apply Smarter to veterinary school and explore the ins and outs of the Apply Smarter Tool and Message Boards, then we will turn it over to the audience for a live Q&A.
If you are applying for the Mike Dunn, DVM Veterinary Student Scholarship created by Becky Godchaux, this webinar will help you determine which schools are eligible for the scholarship, as well as teach you how to understand your cost for veterinary school.
The Apply Smarter concept encourages applying only to veterinary schools where you can attend at the lowest cost possible, and as a bonus, be eligible for the scholarship.
This webinar will help pre-veterinary students learn:
-How much will my veterinary education cost?
-What if I don't have an in-state veterinary school option?
-How to evaluate the odds of acceptance for different veterinary schools and seats?
-What the Apply Smarter tool shows and doesn’t show?
-Where can I go to discuss my questions and concerns with other pre-veterinary students and get input from seasoned veterinarians?
-What are the Apply Smarter Message Boards and how can they help me?
