Summary
Fourth year microbiology undergrad student carrying a 3.44 GPA in a highly regarded science program. Graduating this coming May. This semester I have realized that Biology is not the field I want to be in. My goal is to make a shift and go to vet school. Looking for a place where I can apply what I have learned and further my development at the same time. Although I don't have any experience professionally with animals I have spent lots of time pet sitting and fostering kittens.
