"C equals DV...A lot of students are like that. "C equals DVM!" is a common saying around here. To be perfectly honest, GPA really doesn't matter in the sense that it mattered in undergrad and you were applying for vet school. You're already in, and they have to place you at a clinical school if you make it through all seven semesters. So if all you can do to keep your sanity is pull Cs, don't worry. I will say that going into finals with strong As or Bs makes the stress of worrying whether you passed significantly less.Julie Ladahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08377742107716763623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817437838059427836.post-56581197442884045152013-01-25T09:54:56.872-04:002013-01-25T09:54:56.872-04:00Thanks for your answer!

I've heard some kids in stateside schools saying they don't care about grades and they just need a C to get through and then some courses are just pass or fail. I'm assuming you're not like that, seeing your success in your first semester with all those perfect marks on some of your exams, but would you say some Rossies are like that?<br />Sorry for all the questions, I really have a ton so just tell me if I'm annoying!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817437838059427836.post-70696065917621676102013-01-25T01:15:35.715-04:002013-01-25T01:15:35.715-04:00Okay, sorry if I was snappish, but it's kind o...Okay, sorry if I was snappish, but it's kind of a personal thing to just show up out of the blue with no context and demand to know someone's GPA.<br /><br />What they told us is that GPA "matters and doesn't matter." It matters in two ways. Each school has a minimum GPA that they'll accept, and only some schools will take 1 time repeaters or 2 time repeaters. Also, they try not to place all the 4.0s at one school, all the 3.0s at another school, etc. They like an even mix.<br /><br />Otherwise, it's all about trying to pair the most people up with one of their three choices. Our class had a 92% success rate in getting one of their three picks.Julie Ladahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08377742107716763623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817437838059427836.post-71606939594841645282013-01-25T00:56:42.727-04:002013-01-25T00:56:42.727-04:00Sorry, I didn't mean this in an offensive way....Sorry, I didn't mean this in an offensive way. I applied to Ross for January 2014 and I'm curious about the placement process for clinicals since they were kind of vague in the seminar I went to last week. I've been running through your blog since I found it and reading as much as I can in preparation and just recently discovered that I could comment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817437838059427836.post-66220005628129211062013-01-25T00:52:01.887-04:002013-01-25T00:52:01.887-04:00Excuse me?
