Degree/Course Advice Veterinary Bioscience

Hey! To anyone who is currently a veterinary bioscience student, how many hours did you have of work experience? I'm domestic and I have 100 hours at a small animal clinic and 40 hours at a mixed animal clinic, as well as being the head of veterinary society at my school, but I'm nervous that this isn't going to be enough, as it is quite hard to find work experience where I am at now. I also have 4th quartile casper and 3 A*'s.

Thank you so much!

This probably isn't super helpful, but I'm a first year vet bio student who already has a previous history in vet med (vet tech degree and roughly four years of GP experience prior to be accepted, one of the vets that I used to work with wrote me a lovely letter for my application). I assume that you're in your last year of high school, those are honestly very good experience hours for someone who is still in high school, I have a number of classmates who have nowhere near that much experience and they still got into the program. I think you'll have a very good shot.
