*Please keep in mind that these are my opinions based on my experiences applying. There are many different ways to get into vet school and many right answers to the same question. The information I have shared is simply the information that I wish I had known before applying. Also, please remember that I am not yet a veterinarian. I am a member of the class of 2020.

Ive wanted to be a vet since I was 2. I'm 15 and I'm horrified i wont get in. This is the only thing I've ever wanted to do in my life. I hope to god I get in.
Hey there! No need to worry this early in the game! Instead, you can use that energy to move forward! If you work really hard there is no reason vet school can't be a possibility! In this video I've outlined a bunch of things you can do as a high school student that can prepare you for vet school! ua-cam.com/video/1gfsoMAD2g0/v-deo.html
Are sure you know all the requirements. I applied while doing a levels (Uk) and did not get a single offer, but after my results we found out that I needed 1 more A at GCSE. So I’m reapplying with my A levels (AA & B which is 1 mark off an A😠) to the only UK uni that said “it would be stupid to hold you to your GCSEs when you’ve done better in the level above”. If I’m unsuccessful I have to resist a lot of things
So save yourself literally years of hassle (if you are as serious as I am about being a vet) and know what u need and get them 1st time round 😂
You've got this, Riley! If I can do it, anyone can!
I wanted to be a vet until I started working at animal hospital.... don't get me wrong I love animals but it's too much, was told many times it would be easier to become a human doctor. Plus vets don't get enough credit for everything they have to do. Props to you girl and every vet student out there
I love your videos! I'm applying this coming cycle and am feeling overwhelmed by the oncoming process, but your videos are so soothing and calming (and informative). Thank you!
I'm so happy you enjoy them! You've got this!
omg this is so helpful for laying out the steps! I feel so overwhelmed and your videos literally narrows it down...
I'm so glad that you found it helpful! Let me know if you have any questions!
I'm in high school , it's my junior year , I really have a passion for animals and I would love to be a vet , but I'm nervous about how to get in and what to do. this helped me a lot thank you so much!
I'm so happy that you found this helpful! You can do it!

4 years later you still trying to become a vet?
This is so helpful as a college freshman. I can't wait to watch more of your videos ☺️
Can't wait to see more videos! I just recently decided that Vet School is my long term goal! Right now I'm working towards my BA in Biology!! Thank you for the information and inspiration!!
Could we know your opinion so far with the school + experience! Maybe a school supplies or day in the life video! I know you are super busy so I'm def going to check out your other outlets on social media!!
Congratulations and welcome! Thank you for the video ideas! I'll be posting more very soon and I'm excited for you all to see what I've been planning!
I can't wait to see more of your videos!
New video is up! ua-cam.com/video/ztWnVbR9JmE/v-deo.html
I’m 18 years old, stating my first year of undergrad in the fall with a bachelors degree in biology along with the pre-vet track. I’ve been in love with science and math from a very young age and I decided that I wanted to be a vet VERY VERY young in my life. This is my dream in life and I’m so excited to get started. Unfortunately I worked my butt off during highschool between my job and highschool to save up for undergrad so I didn’t really have the pleasure of starting my work hours as early as you did but I’m really looking forward to being able to focus on school and my path to being a veterinarian this upcoming year in the fall. Class of 2019 to 2023 here we go!
I've always wanted to be a vet since I was 4 I'm 12 thank you so much for this helpful advise
I’ve wanted to be a vet for as long as I can remember , I didn’t get into the high school I wanted that wold have helped me but I’m not going to give up
Great video, not crazy about the music though. I'll stay tuned thanks for sharing :)

Please upload more, I seldom find vet school vlogs or anyone to relate to online. I watch strivetofit which is a med school student she's basically the next best thing to a vet school blogger.
More is on the way! I'm currently editing my next vlog! Unfortunately I'm stuck in the thick of finals week so things are going really slowly but I can't wait for you all to see what I have planned to do over winter break!
I only take biology geography ict maths in high school I hope I can just. pick up chemistry when I leave...
Hi! One of the most important goals in my life is to be an awesome mom. But, I also want to be a vet and I'm really excited about all of the things I will learn. I was just wondering if you know many vets who are also moms. Are they part-time vets? Is being a part-time vet a thing? Also, I really like to travel and go hiking and skiing. On average, how much vacation do vets get? Will I be able to go for a Saturday hike? Or do most vets work a lot of weekends? Right now I'm a freshman in college, in undergrad, and I'm tossing career ideas around, but being a vet has stuck with me the longest, I just don't know if it can fit the lifestyle I want (being a mom and traveling). Thanks for any help/advice, I really appreciate the insight!
Would you be able to make a video that explains what steps you should take in high school in order to prepare for undergrad/veterinary school? I know you mentioned a few things in this video, but I would really appreciate a more in depth explanation based on your experiences. I'm entering my senior year of high school and I want to make sure I'm going in the right direction. Thanks!!
yes please!!
pls pls
Im a sophomore in college and having so much trouble with time management this semester! definitely the hardest semester yet... I'm taking 17 credit hours, I'm part of our rowing team, and I workout on my own and have an internship. I'm really concerned I won't succeed in these classes or get enough veterinary hours 😢
Awesome!!! :)
So helpful even when I am 12 thankyou
😊😊😊
I'm in my junior year undergrad currently with an animal science major and a minor in Spanish. I currently have a 3.63 GPA, which isn't low but not as high as I would hope it to be. Do you have any other studying tips besides rewriting notes? Also, did you rewrite your notes more than once? I have thousands of hours of veterinary experience in small animal and equine, as well as animal experience in zoo/wildlife, large animal, small animal and equine. You are an inspiration, congratulations of getting into veterinary school!!
You in vet school yet,?
Can you elaborate more on the interviews? Like what did they ask and if it was one on one or were there more people there? Thanks
Hello I am torn about doing a double major biochemistry and animal science and I am taking s break this fall semester and starting the prerequisites for vet school in the spring this my second year of college. What should I do and what do you recommend for me to do?
I have a question so I am in 7th grade and it has been my passion since I was very young to be a veterinarian so is it a good time to start logging hours also I was thinking about making a portfolio about all the things that have have been doing to get into vet school. Also my high school that I am going to go to doesn't have a vet program so what should I do.
Hello! :) So I'm also hoping to become a vet in the future and your videos are so cool and inspiring! :)
I was wondering, if I majored in music and still took the pre-vet courses, would that look good on my application? :/
Hey! I'm so happy you enjoy my videos! To answer your question, as long as you've completed your prerequisites, you are good to go! Honestly, whether or not it looks good will depend on your application as a whole. I could definitely see it making you stand out as an applicant, you just have to make sure to explain how the experiences/skills that you have acquired through music will help you become a better veterinarian!
I’m a high school freshman. I’m not sure if I want to be a vet but I know I want some job involving animals. I’m starting to volunteer a lot with animals
Hi. Just wanted to know if you had experience working with large animals too when you first applied.
My father is a veterinarian and I always thought I never wanted to go to vet school...until recently. I've been really kicking myself for not going strait out of high school. The thing is I am 22 years old and have a 1 1/2 year old son at home. My dad and many other veterinarians including the Dean of Texas A&M have encouraged me to go ahead and go for it. I have raised my confidence and decided I am going to go ahead and try even though I know its going to be exceptionally hard as a young mother. I figure it will be very rewarding for me even if it takes me double the usual time. Do you have any advice or encouragement for me? Did you know anyone in vet school in similar positions as myself? @BellaVet
Well it sounds like you've got some awesome experience and networking! I hope it will make you feel better to know that there are at least 3 mothers in my class! They are all doing great in school and I absolutely think that being a vet school mom is doable! Unfortunately I am unable to give you any specific advise in that area but I do believe there is a channel called VetSchoolMom that you might find helpful! Please let me know if you have any more questions!
Nicole Y. I want to go to Texas A&M for vet school. I want to go to Sam Houston to major in Animal science. Sam makes me feel like I am home.
Can you make a video on how to get into under grad cause I have no idea
Hi Bella! I'm a sophomore in college and was on track for a Nursing degree and decided it wasn't for me. Do you think I should get my AA in Animal Science from a community college and then get my BS in Animal Science from UF (my in-state vet school) since UF does not accept transfers less than 60 credits? Or should I just get a Biology degree
Hi! So what was your major getting into vet school? I am a biochem major but its SO hard kinda considering switching majors and just taking the classes i need for vet school. What would you recommend?
So I have always wanted to be a veterinarian but I have no idea which school to go to. What do you think is the best?
What if you decided you wanted to go to vet school as a junior in college?
Quick question, I'm currently serving active duty in the service, while also attending school and working on my bachelors. Do you think that me serving will be a pro towards applying?
What kind of extracurriculars did u do for vet school?
I don't know if you already answered in the video, but what vet school do you attend?
Bella, I have another question. Do vet schools like if you join school sports, be school president, be part of the band, etc? Does it give you a higher chance of being accepted?
I don't know if it will give you a higher chance, but it is certainly not a bad thing! What vet schools like to see is that you have experience as a leader and that you are well rounded. All of the things you listed help with both of those! Just make sure you keep it up in college too!
I am a junior in college and have decided this was my passion. Do you think 2 years of experience in work and volunteering will be good enough?
what vet school are you going to?
Thank you so much for your video!!
I had a question about when you applied, so you said that was in your third year of your undergrad. Does that mean that you were completing your third year at the same time you applied or were you into your fourth year of your undergrad at that point?
Basically, did you finish your undergrad before you went off to Vet college or did you apply after your second year? I don't know if that makes sense, I'm really trying here. :)
I'm a high school senior and am trying to inform myself as much as possible so that hopefully less pops up later or last minute!
Thank you!
Great question! I was completing my 3rd year at the same time I was applying. I began my application during the summer between my sophomore and junior year. I finished my junior year and my prerequisite courses but I did not finish my undergrad degree. It sounds confusing, I know! Feel free to check out the link to my blog in the description bar, I laid out all of my classes and what year semester I took them in. Please let me know if you have anymore questions!
Do you think I can get into a program if I only get good grades for 2 years of high school and then only complete the prerequisites with a good GPA? I feel like that's not good enough.
how important is your high school gpa compared to your college gpa? my cumulative high school gpa was a 3.2 but in college it is around a 3.7 at the moment so i am nervous my high school gpa will hurt my chances
A random question, do you need chemistry to get into vet school ❓❓⁉️
Also, after A-levels, do you go to uni or straight to vet school and how long does vet school take??? Thanks x
I won’t to be a vet but I’m so scared that I’m not going to get in
Hey, so I'm an almost 16 year old junior and I love animals a lot. I am most interested in becoming a veterinarian nurse/assistant or a vet tech. But I am very VERY nervous about the many years I would have to take and the financial cost of this! If you have any tips, I would appreciate it!
How do u get veterinary mentors
What do u do for ur undergrad study
What is a good number of hours of veterinary and animal experience to have for the VMCAS?
I've been working as a veterinary assistant and have gotten just over 400 hours in a couple of months, is this a good starting point? I decided a little late in my undergrad (about 1 1/2 years left) that a DVM is my long-term goal in education, so I'm just trying to catch up and get all of the experience I'll need before applying. :)
Love your videos!
400 Hours is a great start! By the time I applied I had about 600. But you should know that there is no perfect formula. I have seen people get in with less and some get in with way more. These admission committees tend to look at the applicant as a whole. Also, you should know that some schools have a minimum experience requirement, so you should give the schools you're applying to a call to make sure that you have passed that requirement. But great start keep it up!
This is so helpful, thank you!!
I'm 13, and I'm curious as to where I get hours? Does volunteering at an animal shelter (dogs and cats) count?
It absolutely counts! You're definitely on the right track! Make sure you do some shadowing/volunteering with veterinarians too!
BellaVet okay, thanks so much!! :)
trying to become a veterinarian, about to start my first year of college and I just signed up to volunteer at a dog shelter for animal experience, I was curious as to how you got veterinarian hours? did you just volunteer or were you like a vet assistant??
Awesome! Volunteering at an animal shelter is a great start! A large amount of my hours came from volunteering. I would usually start by asking to shadow a vet, from there I would ask if they could use my help as a volunteer. Occasionally the veterinary clinics that I volunteered at would be short staffed (for a holiday or summer) and they would hire me for a temporary position (I was a student so a year long position conflicted with college). Does that answer your question? If you have any more feel free to ask!
I'm majoring in zoology and I'm in my senior year of school and I was in the same boat you were. I just typed up a cover letter explaining my goal of getting into vet school and what said experience and skills I could bring to the table, and offered to work basically any position. I delivered all my resumes and cover letters in person, and got a job as a vet assistant within the week!
Hello Bella how are you
If I volunteer at a Vet Clinic/Shelter how would I track that to get into Vet School? Would it stay on a page or would I write it down?
is it too early to start logging hours as a 13 year old?? i’ve wanted to be a veterinarian ever since i was young and spend a lot of my time teaching myself about anatomy and animal medicine.
It's never too young! Plus logging hours is a great habit to get into!
I’m a sophomore in high school and I KNOW I want to do this.
But I’m really scared I’m not going to make it 😰
I’m interning at one vet and shadowing another.
I’m taking AP Physics right now, AP Bio next year as well as AP English.
But I’m really nervous I’m not doing enough.
Any advice?
It sounds like you are on the right track with those classes! I did not have ANY AP credits when I graduated high school so you're doing better than I did at this time! Also, check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/1gfsoMAD2g0/v-deo.html its all about what you can to in high school to prepare for vet school!
How was organic chemistry for you...? :)
Orgo was definitely frustrating at first, but I learned to like it once I started to think of it as a really big game of catch with electrons being the balls. It is difficult, but I think it is important to remember what the class is actually trying to teach you: diagnosis. Essentially, it teaches you about a new thing and in such fine detail that you couldn't possibly memorize everything. Instead, you have to *understand* it, use what you have learned from your previous experience on similar problems, and solve it (sound familiar to something you have to do in practice one day?). If you have any specific questions please feel free to ask!
Oh, and if you're ever wondering why the heck you even need to take orgo in the first place, read this!

I became a drug addict at the age of 14, cheated my way through high school, and I withdrawed from college within my first semester. 4 years later, at 22, I've decided I'm going to be a vet. I fought my way to sobriety, and I'm going back to community college. Once I complete my associates degree, and then switch to a university, will a vet school take me? Basically since I was 15 I've worked at animal shelters full time, so I have the experience, and I know this is what I want to be. I'm just scared since I did so bad in high school, and not going to a great state university at first, if they'll even look at me for acceptance? Any help would be much appreciated.
First off, congratulations on your sobriety, I cannot even imagine the perseverance and dedication it took to make it to where you are now. You are what they would call an "alternative applicant" AKA someone who didn't just go from 4 years of high school to 4 years of college straight to vet school. I want you to know that "alternative applicant" is by no means a negative label. Many times these applicants bring diversity and experience to a class. I believe that if you get good grades, keep working on your experience hours and have some awesome letters of rec, I don't see why you wouldn't be a good candidate. You should also know that it is ok to talk about your past struggles. One interview/essay question I was asked multiple times when I applied was "tell me about a struggle you have experienced and how you overcame it." I think you could write a brilliant essay about that topic. Good luck! You got this! Please keep us updated on your future success!
Ok this may be a stupid question but I don't know much and I'm an 8th grader so ok Do any vet schools have an Equine program where you could take your horse with you? I mean I know that being a vet student you would probably be very busy butttt?? I gotta know😆
Hey Bella Vet, I volunteer with Best Friends but I would love to volunteer at an animal clinic but do I have to be in school to get experience? I'm trying to save up money to go back to school and become a Vet Tech.
Hey! You don't need to be in school in order for your volunteer credit to count for your vet school application! Does this answer your question?
So did you graduate in 3 years or just apply after three years?
I did not complete by bachelors degree. I only completed the prerequisite courses and then I applied. Let me know if you have any more questions!
i really wana be a vet whatdose logging ut hours mean ????
It simply means keeping track of the time that you spend gaining animal or veterinary experience. I kept track of mine in a really long word doc on my computer.
where did you first start getting hours?
I started getting hours at my local veterinary clinic by shadowing the veterinarian there and then volunteering after that.
What school did you finally choose?
I chose the University of Missouri!
Wait so you don’t need a bachelors degree to get into Vet school???
Is 6th grade to early to start logging hours?
The VMCAS FAQ page is a great resource: help.unicas.com:8888/.../experiences/index.html Here is what they say: "Q: How far back in my career should I list experiences?
A: You may include any experience you believe is relevant to your application." And I agree. If you felt like that experience really impacted you and your understanding of veterinary medicine, then include it!
Is there anyone who is 15 or over who wants to become a vet? I feel like I'm the only 15 year old who wants to become a vet XD I'm starting to feel childish for wanting to become a vet XD
Paige Black you're not alone! 15 and decided I will be a vet (:
Paige Black im 17; ive always wanted to be a vet ever since little
Paige Black I'm 16 i want to be a vet
I'm 18 and planning to start Vet school this semester.
Paige Black Im 15 and It's my dream to become a vet so no your not childish otherwise im also childish😂
What age should you start trying to get experience?
I started keeping track of my experience during my junior year of high school, but you can start at any age and you are allowed to include any experiences that you deem relevant to the application. For me, that meant high school, for other people that might mean earlier or later, it all depends on your unique experiences. Does that answer your question?
BellaVet Yes, thank you!
I really want to be a veterinarian but I think I am smart enough for the job. 😔💔
Hey now! Please don't stress about that! Honestly I could make an entire video on just this concept. I really don't love the word "smart" because it makes it sound like doctors and lawyers and people with advanced degrees were just naturally born with the ability to pass tests and remember everything. I just want to let you know that that is absolutely NOT TRUE. While processing information fast in your head can certainly help you, the most important thing is not being "smart" its about working hard! One of my favorite quotes goes something like "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard" (Tim Notke/Kevin Durant). And when I look at my fellow classmates I don't see a bunch of geniuses who don't have to lift a finger to pass. I see a bunch of extremely hard working men and women who are putting in the hours to fighting to become more knowledgable. So what I'm getting at here is that if we can do this, you can too! You just have to be willing to work extremely hard for it :)
What was a VICAS?
VMCAS stands for Veterinary Medical College Application Service.
this video really helped me I can't wait to be a veterinarian I am just 9 years old
what school did u go to
