ok you need at least a 70% in these subjects:
a grade 12:an english 30A, and englich 30B, and a math 30A all of which are requirments to graduate anyway, and you need a bio 30, and a chem 30. just maintain a 70% average in those subjects and you can get in. anyway thats off topic.
Oh I want to live in CANADA! Here the enter score is 99.4% into the selective veterinary science courses, and I'm working my derriere off to earn those sweet sweet As. Plus there are the subjects, that can sometimes get like wet sand to wade through (chemistry, physics and biology oh my! LOL Kate )

Yes I want to be a vet, and have all my life. In June I did my work experience at a vets, and despite a short (very embarrassing) fainting incident in the surgery theatre it was wonderful, and confirmed that this is my chosen career.

As for the discussion on putting animals to sleep...well, while I was doing work experience two dogs were put to sleep. Mostly, I was just surprised at how quietly they go, and how peaceful it. Yes, I cried a bit. But like Luckies said...if I knew it was for the good, and it was putting the animal to a more peaceful place, out of fear and pain...then I think I could do it.
