customized, one-on-one application consulting
Designed for students, by a student.

Our Why
My own veterinary school application process was stressful, time-consuming, and often confusing -- I frequently had more questions than answers. I needed mentorship, but I had no one to turn to. That experience is what inspired me to start The Acceptance Lab: to connect with students and be there for them throughout their own journey. My passion is supporting students and ensuring that no one has to navigate this process alone.
_______________________________________________________
As a veterinary student and college graduate, I have been in many of your shoes.
In my pursuit of professional school, I often felt alone, overwhelmed, and confused, and I did not have anyone to turn to. After being accepted into my dream veterinary school, I began mentoring students who were navigating their own application processes.
In 2023 and 2024, I worked with a variety of students from Princeton University, providing application support, advice, and guidance.
In 2024, I launched a social media account (@grace.the.dogtor) that has grown to over 5.5M total views. Through this platform, I have connected with hundreds of students like YOU.
What began as online mentorship and coaching has grown into my passion project: The Acceptance Lab.

VIRTUAL PRE-VET CLUB: COMING SOON!
We are excited to announce the launching of our virtual pre-veterinary club, The Pre-Vet Lab, on November 1st, 2026. Our club will meet monthly and allow students the opportunity to engage and network with veterinary students, veterinary professionals, and DVMs from around the world all from the comfort of each student's computer. This club is not meant to replace your own institution's pre-veterinary society, rather supplement it, and offer opportunities to those who may not otherwise have them.
The meeting schedule, topics, and sign up form can be found on the Our Pre-Vet Club page

ALL students regardless of age, major, and area of interest are invited to join The Pre-Vet Lab! You do not have to be in a pre-vet program to learn and grow! Feel free to join us and share our information with peers, friends, and family.
