Denied from all on my first application attempt
Hi, my final school on the list got back to me today; 5 schools and 5 denials. I feel extremely discouraged. My undergrad gpa was 3.95 (2025 grad), I’ve worked full time as a veterinary technician since June of last year, and was highly involved during my undergrad in clubs and academic societies. I’m going to reach out when the schools are able to discuss weaknesses with my application but otherwise, I’m not sure what to worm on now.
Does anybody have any tips for staying motivated to try again for the next cycle? I don’t want to give up but I just feel so defeated. Any advice or words of encouragement are greatly appreciated, thank you.
