What is my best option to become a veterinarian?
To give a little context, I’m a 30 year old female from India. The last time I studied biology was in high school (12th grade). I did my undergraduate degree in engineering. During my senior year in engineering, I went through a traumatic experience. My local municipality had hired men to go around and kill all stray dogs, and many of our beloved dogs (all rescues) were killed in this operation. Deeply saddened and frustrated, I fought for justice and got the mayor suspended. During this justice seeking period, I got myself involved with various animal welfare organizations and started helping them out with rescues. I felt I was doing what I loved, helping animals and fighting for their rights. After graduation I set up a small shelter in my small town, which was first in our house, then an old burned down shed, and then slowly grew to a decent size shelter housing over 100 rescued animals. I have since setup 2 veterinary clinics, hired doctors and significantly increased (~2000) the number of animals we rescued and rehabilitated over almost a decade. Veterinarians are a rare breed in India. And finding a decent veterinarian is harder than winning a jackpot. Most of the times, I end up reading medical textbooks, journals, videos and try to provide diagnostics myself. I have also assisted in various surgeries, and have handled several types of animals ranging from dogs, cats, birds, snakes, cows, monkeys, and more. Before you judge me for providing medical services to animals without a degree, if i didn’t do it, they would have died. I have single handedly saved hundreds of animals from the brink of death. If anybody is to be blamed, it is the subpar vet schools here, and the absolutely unskilled veterinarians that they produce. I have hired and fired over 5 doctors because some of them were so bad at their job that they couldn’t even perform a simple spay/neuter. I have now decided to take matters in my own hand and become a veterinarian. To pursue this goal, I need help. I have the fire in me to do whatever it takes, but I just need some direction. 1. I know I don’t satisfy many prerequisites for vet school. Is going to a 3/4 year pre-vet school the only solution to this? Can I take the prerequisite courses from a community college in the US and then get into vet school? 2. Let’s assume that I do a pre vet program and pass with flying colors. What are my chances of getting into a vet school? I’m hoping that my extensive background in animal care will provide some boost to my chances? 3. Do you suggest any other path to achieve my goal of becoming a veterinarian quicker? With my estimates it will probably take me 7-8 years to become a vet. I’ll be 38 when that happens, and im fine with that. But I also want to know if there is a faster or better way to do this. 4. Any alumni from AVMA accredited vet schools that can provide some pointers in maximizing my chances with admission, scholarship? I truly appreciate any help. You will not only be helping me, but also thousands of animals that I will save in the future. Thanks!
