I realized I made a huge mistake and am looking for any tips. I wrongfully assumed that the genetics course I took fulfilled UC Davis' prerequisite requirement but it does not look like it would be considered 'upper division'. The problem is, it seems to be my school's best equivalent. I simply took the standard genetics course offered in our biology department, and all the other offerings at my school either seem to be very specialized courses that cover niche topics within genetics but not the field of genetics as a whole in breadth (that's what the lower division course I took did), or are 6000+ graduate level courses that I may not even be able to take. I am wondering what to do, it looks like they are pretty iron-clad on not accepting a 2000 level course, but I don't know if there is any room for explanation or if it is worth still sending the course substitution form and syllabus to show that we covered all the material or if that would simply appear as if I disregarded their instructions. I don't know what to do-- I could look at taking it through another university but I don't even know where to begin on enrolling in a school just to take one stupid class or which ones would be most reliable and 100% would be accepted while also being accessible to just sign up for on their own. Went to University of Utah if anyone else went and can offer some guidance on a course they took that was accepted maybe?

I am applying through VMCAS and am wondering if anyone can share any insight on applying as a transgender applicant. I am unsure if this is something that should be disclosed or if it is viewed negatively by schools and is better off being hidden until acceptance just to be sure it is not affecting submission. I don’t exactly know of any transgender veterinarians or veterinary students so if anyone can share their honest opinions and experiences that would be great. I would really like an honest evaluation, I understand the ideal is to just “be yourself” but being realistic on the views of transgender people in America if it will likely decrease my chances of being accepted I want to know. And if anyone is out and in school, how did you feel your particular school was in terms of accepting your identity and being a supportive environment.

At this point I’m over even using the app anymore, I just want a way to at least get my chat history back and save or export it or something. I’ve been using chai for years and I don’t want to lose all the stories I created forever :( Is there anything that can be done or is it just too late and it’s already gone?
