Hi. I recommend that you first focus on getting good grades. Then you want to get as much practical experience with animals and in the profession as possible. Which is that mean? That means volunteer at a Veterinary Clinic an animal shelter help groom dogs for a dog breeder, an animal trainer, a dog groomer, or anyone who has a profession with animals. It's helpful if you know something about where you're volunteering so that you can have a good Mentor. The Veterinary Schools want people who are well-rounded. What's this mean? That means people that that only have knowledge with animals but also have other interest in other fields or Topics.
Your goal is to build a good resume that has a lot of experience on it.

Always focus on your goal. Work hard and if you're really serious about the profession try very hard not to let people's comments pull you down.
Utilize your talents to help others. Understand that this is a competitive situation. You want to position yourself so that you stand out. How can you do this? You can become the president of a group. It doesn't necessarily have to be regarding animals because what you're trying to show is leadership ability.
If your grades aren't high enough, keep working hard at them but don't let that discourage you. Then, build your resume. You have to have a good enough grade point average to get an interview. But then in the interview you can expand on your good qualifications by showing what type of work experience that you have with animals and in other fields.
Stay positive.
Be persistent.
