Pre-Veterinary Medicine
Healthcare & MedicalPreparing for Medical, Dental or Veterinary School;
Professional schools are not requiring a specific major but they do have a list of courses they want to see before they will consider your application. We’re lumping these professions together because they usually are very similar pathways and for the most part these programs have very similar pre-matriculation lists of classes.
First, you begin your preparation to become an applicant the first day you arrive at Ouachita. Attend class – don’t skip! Be on time. Take good notes. Avoid all-nighters before exams. Your professors are taking mental notes to use in writing recommendation letters later on! Communicate with your academic advisor and listen to their advice.
Second, in preparing your class schedule each semester you should take an appropriate load. You are trying to meet graduation requirements as well as prepare to take the MCAT (DAT or VCAT). Professional schools also want to see that you can complete a rigorous schedule while still making good grades. Avoid taking those tougher courses in the summer.
