You will have classmates that have taken more courses applicable to vet school in undergrad and may seem way ahead early on. It is easy to feel left behind or like you may not belong. Always remember that you belong there and have what it takes to be successful in the program. Know going in that you are probably starting further behind than some and you may be required to put in extra work, but there are countless resources available to help you be successful. Do not be afraid to utilize them.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-accordion\">\r\n    <h3 id=\"unique-id-1__72793\" class=\"wsu-accordion__title\">\r\n        <button class=\"wsu-accordion__title-button wsu-accordion--toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"unique-id-1__content\">How is the DVM program preparing you for your future career?<\/button>\r\n    <\/h3>\r\n    <div id=\"unique-id-1__content\" class=\"wsu-accordion__content\" aria-labelledby=\"unique-id-1__72793\">\r\n        <div class=\"wsu-accordion__content-inner\">\r\n            \n\n<p>The DVM program has provided a space that has pushed me to grow both professionally and personally. Labs, clinical skills, and hands-on opportunities have allowed me to apply the information I have learned in the classroom to real-world settings. Beyond academics, my involvement as President of Ag Animal Club and participation in other organizations throughout veterinary school have helped me develop leadership and teamwork skills, both of which will be essential to my success as a food animal veterinarian. Finally, the program has supported my personal goal of obtaining my MBA degree while in veterinary school. Through the support of faculty and peers, I have been able to shape my veterinary school experience in a way that has allowed me to pursue my MBA, which will be beneficial in helping the producers I serve.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-accordion\">\r\n    <h3 id=\"unique-id-1__65039\" class=\"wsu-accordion__title\">\r\n        <button class=\"wsu-accordion__title-button wsu-accordion--toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"unique-id-1__content\">What I wish I knew before vet school:<\/button>\r\n    <\/h3>\r\n    <div id=\"unique-id-1__content\" class=\"wsu-accordion__content\" aria-labelledby=\"unique-id-1__65039\">\r\n        <div class=\"wsu-accordion__content-inner\">\r\n            \n\n<p>What I wish I knew before vet school is that no one has everything figured out, even if it seems like they do. Vet school finds ways to challenge you both academically and personally in ways that you have likely never been pushed before. Before veterinary school, I thought I needed to be perfect and be the best at everything I did. I have learned that failure is one of the best teachers, and while I do not like to fail, my mistakes have taught me far more than my successes ever could. I am grateful that vet school has taught me to enjoy the ride instead of constantly worrying about the end destination.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-row wsu-row--thirds\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<div class=\"wsu-cta \" >\n\t<a \t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/2025\/06\/26\/sophia-greisen\/\"\t\n\t\tclass=\"wsu-button  wsu-button--style-outline wsu-button--size-small\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"wsu-icon wsu-i-arrow-left\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\n\t\tPrevious\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<div class=\"wsu-cta \" >\n\t<a \t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/connect-with-us\/meet-our-dvm-students\/\"\t\n\t\tclass=\"wsu-button  wsu-button--style-outline wsu-button--size-small\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\tAll ambassadors\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<div class=\"wsu-cta \" >\n\t<a \t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/2025\/10\/31\/lindsey-klem\/\"\t\n\t\tclass=\"wsu-button  wsu-button--style-outline wsu-button--size-small\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"wsu-icon wsu-i-arrow-right\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\n\t\tNext\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":11846,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_wsuwp_accessibility_report":null},"categories":[46],"tags":[44,51],"wsuwp_university_location":[],"wsuwp_university_org":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1905"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11846"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1905"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1905\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3414,"href":"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1905\/revisions\/3414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1905"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_location?post=1905"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_org","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hub.wsu.edu\/dvm-admissions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_org?post=1905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
