For a small analysis on admissions predictors, I’m collecting de-identified inputs from recent cohorts: science GPA, GRE quant, ICU months, CCRN, and outcomes like first-semester GPA or SEE score; if you’re a current student or faculty with access to cohort data, what patterns have you seen? I’ll aggregate responses and report effect sizes here.
From our last two cohorts (n≈50), ‘science GPA’ tracked first‑semester GPA best, ICU months plateaued after about 24, and GRE Q only mattered below about 152 — more hoop than hurdle. Could you break science GPA into A&P/micro/chem to see which drives it? When you model it, z‑score by program and cap ICU months at 36 to tame outliers.
ExoticsCon’s ARAV/AAV anesthesia wet labs hit your wish list — case-based with hands-on Doppler/capnography and a One Health bent; it’s where I picked up a tweak that stuck: for chelonians, park the Doppler just cranial to the thoracic inlet over the carotid with a fat blob of gel and feather‑light pressure, and for raptors the deep radial stays cleaner than the metatarsal on longer cases. Slots go fast and the schedule varies, so peek early: https://www.exoticscon.org. If you need something sooner, RVC’s online exotics anesthesia CPD is solid but lighter ‑on — are you aiming before mid‑May?
