Hi! Is anyone here pre-health or majoring in Animal & Veterinary Sciences at Clemson or another good pre vet school ? I’m considering Clemson for pre-vet and was wondering how current students feel about the grading system.
From what I understand, Clemson undergrads generally receive straight letter grades, so an A is a 4.0, a B is a 3.0, etc., rather than having +/- grades. I’ve also seen a lot of classes use a 90–100 = A, 80–89 = B scale.
For students in science/pre-health classes, do you feel like this system makes it easier to maintain a really high GPA since a 90 and a 100 can both be a 4.0? Or do you wish Clemson used +/- grades since an 89 can drop you to a 3.0 for that class?
I’m hoping to major in Animal & Veterinary Sciences on the pre-vet track, and maintaining a very high overall and science GPA for vet school is one of my biggest priorities. I’d love to hear how difficult you’ve found classes like bio, chem, orgo, physics, and the animal science courses, especially in terms of earning A’s.
Also, if anyone chose Clemson over another strong pre-vet school or has suggestions for other schools where it’s realistic to maintain a high GPA while getting good animal/veterinary experience I’d really appreciate any advice! Thank you :)

I graduated high school in the US this past may and am looking at vet schools in Australia which allow you to go straight from high school . I applied to USYD, Murdoch and UQ. I got invited to an interview with Murdoch and was wondering if anyone had advice for answering the questions ? Also, what is vet school like in Australia ? Do you think it’s worth it or should I just got to school in the US? Thank you!!
