UC Davis Requirements 

 UC Davis has always been an interest of mine because they happen to provide a very good Vet Program. I've always wondered what the requirements were to get accepted to this school. I've also wondered about just the basic information and knowledge I would need about UC Davis. 

Freshman Admission Requirements: 
-High school Diploma
-Courses must be completed with no less than a C 
-GPA of 3.0 or higher 
-Personal Essay
- Examination (test) 
-"a-g" requirements 
A-G" SubjectsRequirement
a. History/social scienceTwo years
b. English
    (or language of instruction)
Four years
c. MathematicsThree years (Four years recommended)
d. Laboratory scienceTwo years (Three years recommended)
e. Language other than English
    (or other second language)
Two years (Three years recommended)
f. Visual and performing artsOne year
g. College preparatory electiveOne year

There's a lot of competition for this school, but I really want to attend here because it's perfect and it's not as expensive as other private universities. For my 4 years of high school, i'm planning to pass all my classes with nothing lower than a C also want to take at least 4 AP classes and pass them. For volunteering work, I'm planning to volunteer at an animal shelter for 2 years. I would also want to do community service at the beach to pick up trash. I'm also planning to be in part of a program, like leadership for 2 years or so. Finally, I want to graduate high school with a GPA of at least 3.6 and not fail any classes through my 4 years of high school.
