Why should Kansas State University accept you over another veterinary student with the same qualifications?

"I believe I am the strongest student for the Kansas State University veterinary program because I have a unique background and upbringing compared to others. My passion for veterinary medicine was grown from a young age with a family that raised show dogs and had a hobby farm with many different animals. Through high school, I volunteered with the local humane society and had the opportunity to receive great hands-on experience in the care of dogs and cats."
