[QUOTE="donna723, post: 365727, member: 1883"] No, I never meant that you should try to discourage him - sorry if it sounded that way. If that's what he really wants, he should go for it, give it his best shot. I think it's great that he has a goal he's willing to work for and I think you're very wise to use that as a tool to motivate him. Something else that might really help him is if he does everything he can to work with animals before he gets as far as veterinary school ... volunteer work with an animal shelter or a part time job in a vets office - it will give him some real hands-on experience and will show his sincere interest and apptitude when it's time to apply for school. I really think that's one thing that helped my daughter get accepted to a very competitive nursing school program. There's a dozen applicants for every slot in the classes and some people apply for years and never make it. She was accepted on her first try and was the youngest one in her class. It was in part because she had worked after school and on weekends as a CNA in our local nursing home all through high school and had excellent references and recommendations from them. It showed her sincerity and made her stand out among the other applicants who had never had any real hands-on experience. Even if he just does volunteer work, it could greatly improve his chances in a very competetive program. [/QUOTE]
