<p>If I go to Cornell and major in Animal Sciences, will I have time to work 10 hours a week while doing a research project, as well as joining and holding leadership positions in two or three clubs?<br>
Yes, I am trying to get into vet school, but was wondering if this was a realistic way.<br>
If anyone has ever "tried" this or knows if it is feasible or not because they already go to Cornell and understand the workload, please let me know!<br>
PS, if Cornell really "so much harder" than other colleges, like a public university, that it is way harder to earn good grades? Any input on this would also be great.</p>
<p>I'm an Animal Science major, pre-vet. I'm carrying 18 credits and working 8 hours a week at a research lab. I'm in three clubs right now and I volunteer at Cornell's vet hospital. I find or make time to go out with my friends at least once a week.</p>
<p>Basically, yes, it's possible. And yes, it's hard work...probably a lot harder than a public university. But in all honesty, Cornell is one of the best vet schools in the world, and working and studying across the street from it is a great opportunity.</p>
<p>My advice: if you need a job, apply to work as a research assistant in a lab that works with animals (Baker Institute, Vet Med Center, Morrison Hall, etc.). You will earn money, gain "animal experience hours," have a research position to put on your application, have access to amazing letters of recommendation, and will have an easy entrance to an undergrad research position if you choose to do one your junior/senior year.</p>
<p>^God bless you!^ That is an insane amount of blood, sweat and tears. Kudos to you for being so driven!!</p>
