I wanted to study abroad somewhere outside of America, but I didn't know where to go about searching for information because nothing useful seems to come up online. I have a 4.0GPA with lots of extracurriculars and experience with animals, as well as volunteer hours. So, I would think it wouldn't be all that difficult for me to get into a good college. Any suggestions?

In Australia - there are only 10 universities that teach Vet science - 2 (perhaps 3 not sure) are post grad only. so there are 7 undergraduate degrees. Each has an intake between 60 and 100 so there are less than 550 places for the ENTIRE COUNTRY. So competition is much greater than you are expecting Only 20% at the max are assigned to international students. Unlike the US, Australian universities are only interest in your university ranking grade the closest you have is the SAT. Volunteer hours, essay etc are not part of our entrance requirements. Its purely your test score. In Australia each state has the same English, Biology, Chemistry etc exam for all students sitting their final year - and it is the score they get in that averaged with their year 11/12 scores that gives them their university entrance score. To get into vet science you need around a 98.9 out of 100 for the lowest university and 99.45 out of 100 to get into University of Sydney. Uni of Sydney only takes in 2-5 international students a year for their degree and mostly from students who have sat the IB.
