Aw man, I definitely have to get up on my soapbox now. It often times is the other way around. It is actually more difficult to get into a veterinary school than medical school.
However, I believe veterinary school is assuredly easier once you're in relative to medical school. I pity my M.D. friends and the amount of work they have to put in comparatively; many of them spend 6+ hours a day, in addition to their labs and lectures, studying. I can put in a few a day and take a day or two off a week and get by just fine.
The veterinarians like to pretend that the amount of species variation you must learn more than accounts for learning less clinically irrelevant facts but really you make a few hundred charts, you hammer it in for a couple of years, pass your exams, graduate and forget 75% of it because you'll never treat species X, Y, or Z again.
PS. niners, you're going to bomb the MCATs. You have no hope.
PPS. On a nicer, note, niners: Good luck. I don't know if you're taking any courses for the MCAT but I'd strongly advise it. I reviewed on my own and more or less hoped a few practice MCATs and physics from undergrad would suffice. I had a 14 bio, 12 verbal.... and 9 physical.
Haha, I like how you went back and edited your grammar. You still have some errors though. I hope you do good in school.
I'm on my second year on college. I'm getting two bachelors in electronics by the time I get done with school. I guess it's not as hard as being a vet? I'm only 19 though, I have a whole life ahead of me
