Hello and Welcome!!!

Hello, and welcome to my first blog ever. I would like to take a moment to explain what this blog is meant to do and what my inspiration was for starting one in the first place.

I was recently (June 2011) accepted in one of the most elite veterinary medical schools in North America, the Ontario Veterinary College. Being a University of Guelph graduate this made me excited because I have already spent 4 years on the campus and in the city. I get to keep my rented room, favourite Second Cup, and all my friends. Yay me! I have been working hard to get into vet school since I was 5 years old... and yes a 5 year old can work hard. Pictures of horses and puppies do NOT draw themselves ok! Haha, ok so high school was a breeze then undergrad kicked my gluteous maximus. However, I am accepted and I couldn't be more pleased. But why a blog? Well, being the huge nerd I am I was researching on what kind of things to expect in my first year and during orientation when I came across a vast array of veterinary student blogs. They were hilarious and inspiring. Then I had wished I had seen these before, maybe had like an older mentor to help me through my applications and interviews and orientation. That is when I realized that I could be that mentor for others, especially for Canadian students with intentions of also getting into the OVC.

So here I am, ready to go. I encourage anyone that finds this to drop me an email so I can get to know people out here in the blogosphere.

My intentions for the next 4 weeks before my first day of OVC:
- Review my high school choices for any youngins out there
- Talk about my animal and non-animal experiences
- Brief about the Canadian process and the OVC requirements
- Explain my undergrad choices
- Vent about how stupid the MCAT was
- Review my application process (references, personal statements, etc.)
- Explain how I prepped for my interview and explain what an MMI is
- Tell you what I am currently doing to prep for September

I hope that I can keep pictures involved as much as possible because it's more fun that way.

  3. Hi there! I discovered your blog a few years ago, back when I was in highschool and was considering going to UoG. With my first application coming this winter, I thought it would be interesting to revisit this blog and what you had to say. This time, I couldn't help notice that you were part of WO - which I currently am as well! What a small world this is :)
