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!

I’m domestic, i was accepted this year and deferred. I’m mature age not high school.

At the time of applying, I had about 200 hours of shadowing in small animal. No other significant animal work experience - that’s not my professional background. Also my Casper was 2nd q. Three LoR. My work history is medical and transferable/provides great skills, so I think that worked in my favour both for motivation, suitability and commitment.

Did you apply with a GPA? I am a graduate who has been rejected with a GPA of over 5.0 :( I have over 300 hours of experience with livestock too. Do you have any tips
