Non- Trad Foreign BS to Accelerated BSN to MD
A little tricky situation here: I am a 43-year-old male, single, no children, permanent resident, and I am applying for my US naturalization this year. I hold a bachelor's (4-year degree) in science with a double major in zoology and chemistry from a university in my country of birth in north Africa.
I worked in the medical sales industry for over 10 years between 2003 and 2014 with multinational corporations, like JNJ and 3M, in both Egypt and Dubai. I am used to being in the operation...

Advice needed!
Hi guys! I could really use some advice because while my friends and SO are great sounding boards, I also want to hear what the pre-vet community has to say since we're going through similar application processes. So let me start by saying that as of right now, I would love to become a zoological vet (I know that there are only so many positions open) or else participate in veterinary research. My goal to become a zoological vet comes from working in a museum with lots of animals. I cared...

UGA VS NC State wildlife/exotics/zoo
Any opinions on UGA vs NC state for zoo and wildlife experience? They are both roughly the same price. NC state seems to have more diversity and more didactic learning in zoological medicine with a simulation lab. However uga has a wildlife treatment crew and SCWDS for wildlife experience with very little didactic material on wildlife/zoo. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Would a Master of Arts in Teaching (Biology) help me get into medical school?
Hello everyone,
I completed a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a 3.0 GPA. I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Teaching (Secondary Education Biology Track). In this graduate degree I have to complete Algebra and Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus II, Principles of Genetics, Botany, Ecology, Zoology, Microbiology and Immunology, a Biology Seminar, General Chemistry I and II, and College Physics I only. All of these classes are 100 to 200 level undergraduate prep classes in...

Looking to reinvent, but not sure where to start? I have taken nearly every science class in the book.
Hello!
I'm hoping my situation isn't super unheard of because I'm really needing some insight. I am a MD/DO hopeful looking to reinvent with a DIY postbacc. However, I have a million undergrad credits and have taken Zoology, Ecology, both sections of Human Anatomy and Physiology, Histology, Genetics, Vertebrate Physiology, Evolution, Biostatistics, Cell Biology, Micro, etc. just to name a few. I went into my most recent undergrad degrees with over 120 credits as a transfer student and...

Bio II?
At my undergrad they only had an introductory bio course and not a bio1/bio2 sequence. I've taken a lot of upper level bio classes, but would it be worthwhile to take bio II at a community college? I've also seen some schools count zoology as a second bio course, so would it be better for me to take zoology (at a 4-year)? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Davis or Tufts or ...? for wildlife
I'm currently applying to Tufts, UC Davis, Minnesota, Oregon, Western, and Wisconsin. I was hoping that anyone (alumni or current students) could let me know their personal thoughts on the wildlife/zoological/exotics programs? I've heard that Wisconsin and UC Davis have great wildlife programs, but I'm struggling to find information on their websites. Currently Tufts is my #1 for wildlife and conservation medicine.
Also I was hoping anyone who went to these schools could also share what...

Pre-Med to Pre-Vet, going back to my original dream!
Okay let me give a back story...
I am a sophomore Biology/Chemistry major and when I originally came to my current university, I was labelled as Pre-Vet. After some negative experiences volunteering at the shelter and a bad Zoology professor, I ultimately switched to Pre-Med, I did this really because I was having a hard time finding experience and everyone discouraged me with how competitive it is to get into Veterinary school. I have been thinking a lot about going back to being Pre-Vet...

Grad schools?
Hey guys!
I am not liking my chances at getting into vet school this round, so I am looking at grad schools as well. I really want to get a masters (1-2 year program) in zoology, conservation (of wildlife or zoo animals), or veterinary science (not livestock). It would be preferable if there was no thesis but I understand that might not be realistic. I prefer the ones that are more study based rather than research but I would love to do some research if that is also necessary! I have done...
