Hello everyone,
I just had a question about choosing a veterinarian to write a reference letter. I did co-op at a vet clinic in Grade 12, during which time I got to work with the vet there really closely. Since high school I have continued to visit the clinic and have kept in touch with this vet, and he recently agreed to write me a reference letter. I am applying this year, and by the time the admissions committee reviews my reference letters it will have been 3 years since I have worked with this vet. I’m not sure if I should use him as a reference as it has been so long since I’ve worked with him – i.e. will the admissions committee look negatively upon that fact? My other 2 reference letters are from people I just worked with this past summer (one vet and one non-vet). I have had some other vet experiences since high school, but feel that the vet I did co-op with got to know me the best and could provide me with a better letter than some vets I have worked with more recently. Any opinions/thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!
