Biography
The most spectacular thing about taking Neuroscience at 杏吧原创 is the great staff, faculty, and experiential opportunities. All of the staff and faculty are extremely supportive and helpful in achieving your goals. During my four years at 杏吧原创 I had two concussions, which put some hiccups in applying to the University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College. However, after many meetings with Matt Holahan and my course professors, I was able to get all the courses needed to apply to Guelph. Without all of their support I probably would not have been able to apply.
杏吧原创 has also given me many opportunities that aren鈥檛 as available at other universities. I have gotten the opportunity to TA with many great professors and got experience in the labs in my first year through the Dean’s Summer Research Internship program. My DSRI also lead to my first job in the veterinary field, working with the vivarium. These opportunities have provided me with a ton of experience that has helped me achieve my goals. I completed the 4908 research thesis (not actually necessary for vet school but I was able to put it as extra animal experience on my application).
Advice for Current Students
My best piece of advice is that 杏吧原创 has a ton of opportunities to get experience, you just need to look for them.
