• Facebook Groups – There are quite a few Facebook groups geared toward vet school applicants, including specific demographics such as non-traditional students and those with lower GPAs. The APVMA group is a good place to start, and I would recommend joining several groups for ongoing support.
• Student Doctor Network: Pre-Veterinary Forums
• Vetted (podcast) – I’m sad that this podcast seems to have gone off the air, but the first few episodes focus on the hosts’ VMCAS process step by step. I found it extremely helpful, and even re-listened to a couple of episodes once I got to that specific point in my application.
• VMCAS Applicant Help Center
