To be competitive in applying for vet school, an overall GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale would be helpful, although many applicants will have a GPA of 3.8 or higher. To graduate from vet school, in the US the minimum required is 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.

What are my chances of getting into Veterinary School I am currently a junior with a 2.78 GPA but I haven't taken many sciences only 4 Can I improve that GPA to get into Vet school?

Your chances with an overall GPA of 2.78 are slim. However, vet schools require you to take many science courses, so you will have at least 2 more years of undergraduate classes to bring that average up. Also, vet schools look at your science GPA (the GPA of all the science classes you have taken) as well as the last 45 or last 60 hours GPA. You will definitely need to buckle down, study hard and raise your GPA, and you will still likely need to explain why your GPA is so low compared to other applicants in your vet school interview.

Does a vet tech degree go toward a d.v.m?

In the United States, the courses you complete to earn a BS in veterinary technology could partially complete the pre-requisite courses needed to apply to vet school. However, the vet tech courses cannot be directly substituted for courses in vet school - the degree of difficulty and depth of information need are much greater for veterinarians than for vet techs.


What is the diffuculty rating for a vet or vet tech?

Becoming a veterinarian is much more difficult. It requires 4 years undergrad at a university then you must apply to veterinary school. To be competitive you need at least a 3.7 GPA which pretty much means almost all straight A's in very difficult classes like organic chemistry and anatomy. You also much have a minimum of 1600 hours experience in the veterinary field, whether working or volunteering (in both large and small animals). There are not a lot of vet schools. If you have a vet school in your state consider yourself lucky. The your chances of getting into a vet school where you are not a resident of that state is decreased. Vet tech school only requires 2 years of studying at a certified college. Your grades don't need to be as high as vet school, although it is also a competitive field. Once you are in your second year you take the state boards. Once you pass you a a licensed veterinary technician.
