[QUOTE="klmno, post: 365724, member: 3699"] I know that Donna and he's been told that, too. Still, it's ok for him to go for it if it's really what he wants. I chose a profession that only a small percentage of applicants are accepted into and complete, also. I'm not going to tell him he can't or shouldn't try if this is what he wants and has the grades. Plus, we have a vet school in our state and they do accept a much higher percentage of applicants from this state. But what it really will boil down to is whether or not he gets thru under-graduate college, doesn't change his mind about what to major in, and has good grades there. That's a long way off- a lot of people change their minds in ungrad. college- I did. So I am not going to discourage him about this while he's in high school- I'm using it to try to motivate him. Really- am I supposed to say "you'll probably never make it into vet school so why bother taking AP courses and keeping a good GPA"? Not that this is what you meant- I know you were just trying to point out it's a difficult profession. But I had people tell me koi like that when I was in high school and I guess I'm very sensitive about not doing that with my son. [/QUOTE]
