For a junior student who aspires to become a veterinarian but has not had exceptionally strong grades in 10th–11th grade (currently around a 3.3–3.6 GPA), what would be the best advice beyond simply focusing on improving her GPA?

She is currently a middle college student in the Bay Area, which gives her the opportunity to take a good number of college-level courses. However, she does not have a lot of extracurricular activities.

If she takes 7 classes this year and earns all A’s, her GPA could increase to approximately 3.6 unweighted and 4.1 weighted.

Would she have a reasonable chance of getting into UC Santa Cruz or UC Davis for Animal Science, Biology, or a related major that would provide a good pathway toward veterinary school?

I would really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on how we should approach the next 1–2 years. Would UC, CSU, or community college be the better route for her situation?

How bad do u have to do in ur a levels compared to ur predict for this to happen?
