I want to apply to cal poly, probably both colleges, this fall for animal science.
My GPA is 3.1, I had some family deaths a year ago. I had to petition to retake courses and removed some bad grades, it was approved. But, I have a few Ws and I realize my current GPA is too low.
I have a few more chem classes to take, and a math class, that if I get good grades in…should bring my GPA up enough? I am playing with numbers at the moment to see what outcome may be if i do well in those classes.
My extra curricular activities and other pros are:
- vice pres. of family owned nonprfit for horses and troubled youth, planned lessons and ran summer camps
- childhood of barrel racing, gymkhana, and working on a family ranch with all sorts of livestock
- summer intern with a large animal vet in senior high school year
- 1 year working at small at vet clinic assisting surgery, doing blood draws, catheters, etc.
- graduated hs on honor roll
- still currently ride horses, barrel race and show occasionally, train and give lessons
- obtained my associates degree in social and behavioral sciences at community college (helped me teach children with disabilities to ride horses)
- raise and butcher my own meat rabbits, to sell to locals
- member of sdsu prevet club for 1 “cycle” volunteered at shelters and hospitals, fundraiser, etd.
What are my odds of getting in…with a gpa not much past 3.2 in case I do poorly on the other classes? Or if I do well and have higher…? I’ll try to post numbers later. Any advice to help? I am currently searching for a vet assist job with large animals/horses adn would like to rejoin the prevet club.
Chico and fresno are also options…I am worried about low gpa and course-load, as I the last semester I only took one or two classes at a time (science, health related).
THANK you sooo soo much for any responses.
