RAVE HERE thread

[unable to retrieve full-text content]

Since we have a "rant" thread, I figured we ought to appease the gods and have a "rave" thread, and tell everyone what we are happy about!

1. I'm so happy that my parents are supportive and because I'm currently unemployed they continually put money in my bank account so I can actually have some fun!

2. I'm also so happy I found SDN to help me get through the anxiety of applying for veterinary school. Just wish I would have found it 2 years ago for my first application cycle.

I know...

12 AM to 6 AM Thread

On academic medicine night float for the month. My poor newly minted second year is getting creamed on her no doc admitting night and I think is a little freaked out. She is so good... But is now leaping to diagnoses rather than keeping an open mind and ordering appropriate tests to narrow the differential focus. Fortunately she is easily talked through the process.

I remember when I was a second year, nervous about admitting myself, handling all the night stuff alone as the 'senior resident'. It was a great learning experience. Now I'm the third year having the second years run their admits by me, calling with questions about floor calls, etc, and it is again good to see how much I have learned, how the thought process changes and evolves.

Tomorrow I need to do my online modules. My goal is to get them all done for the year this month so I don't have to worry about them anymore.

I don't know a lot of conformation-only breeders, but I do know a lot of people who work and breed dogs (who maybe do conformation on the side just to get the titles on their dogs). The reason a well-bred puppy from a responsible breeder may (and I mean MAY, some of them are around the same price as the sad genetic wastelands you find at Petland or whatnot) cost more is that these people put a whole lot more into their dogs too. Genetic testing, training, show/trial entering fees, travel to all of those...it's not cheap. Most really good breeders aren't really making $$$$ on their puppies at all despite the prices. And usually there's a variable price per puppy anyhow, dependent on whether the animal is a good work/show/breeding prospect or will be sold as a pet.

And yes, bulldogs are screwed up as they currently are bred.

Yes, I had it on Tuesday. It went really well, I think. I believe the interview itself was roughly around 30 minutes. They really conduct it in such a conversational manner that I felt like we were just talking and getting to know each other. You are assigned two interviewers and called back individually. When I first walked in, I was nervous of course. But within five minutes, I felt right at home. It's not like an interrogation at all. They don't ask you any impossible questions. I feel they really are just trying to get to know each student. Just relax and tell them about yourself. You'll do fine!

I am a current first year at LECOM-SH. I'm going to be busy with finals in the next few weeks and then busy again for a few weeks after Memorial Day, but I'll check in every once in a while and try to answer questions.

In the past, LECOM's secondary applications haven't required an essay.
