If you are comfortable with your grades, taking the year to volunteer, get more experience, improving your references, working on your communication skills, then all of those things will help your next application. Lots of people also establish residency in another province to be able to apply to more than 1 vet school in Canada the following year.

I know you are scared of risking your current average but, if you think you can really buckle down and increase it, that's what I would do in your situation. While an 87% is a great average, the higher it is, the better-- simply because it takes off more weight from the interview, which seems to have been where you lost your ranking. Judging from the fact that you got an interview, this means your references and your experience were sufficient. And unfortunately the admission process is primarily a numbers game. So I would work on increasing my average - while, throughout the semester, also working on communication skills and practicing ethical scenarios. This way, you potentially go in with a higher spot in the top 200 (based on grades) and you are more prepared for the interview! That's just what I would do and what I have come to realize through my own personal experience, I mean no offense to anyone if they don't agree with me. Just remember you can do anything if you put your mind to it!
