Small Animal Surgical Residency Questions (PLEASE HELP)!
*APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE FOR THE LONG POST BUT WOULD DESPERATELY APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE*
HI all!
A little about me:
- 4th year veterinary student at University of Pennsylvania (...yes, I'm a PennWe).
- Came into vet school knowing that I wanted to pursue a surgical residency, but was unsure whether I wanted to do small or large animal.

which offer to accept? 1st gen, any advice appreciated!
I've been really fortunate to be accepted to 3 PsyD programs. I am the only one in my family to attend college, so I don't have much guidance/people to talk to about higher education advice. I'd really appreciate any input/advice given! I want to make sure I am weighing different aspects of each program correctly. I want to work in clinical therapy and eventually do something with forensic psych.
3 Acceptances: Indiana State University of Pennsylvania (IUP), Immaculata University...

Question about SMP GPA
I am a pre-med student in a special masters program (SMP). My undergraduate GPA is low for med school standards (cumulative GPA = 3.47, science GPA 3.26) but my graduate GPA is a 4.0. I got a 514 on the MCAT
I was looking at MSAR and saw some schools that said they do not consider post-bacc GPA for students with low undergraduate GPAs. Some of these schools include Indiana University, Buffalo, Loyola, Mayo, University of Pennsylvania, Vermont, Brown, and University of Massachusetts...

Are PsyD program concentrations/emphasis areas important if I'm interested in neuropsychology?
I've been accepted into 3 PsyD programs: University of Indianapolis, Spalding University, and Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). Spalding has a new neuropsychology concentration/emphasis area (as a result they are accepting 40 students). Are concentrations like these important when looking at becoming boarded, or would I be able to take the required classes without a concentration if my university does not have a specific concentration in neuropsych (such as...
