Hi I think you probably need to put a bit more information yourself, academics, experience, whereabouts your from etc, before anyone can really take a guess at your chances :smile: There are international students at all the vet school so it's perfectly possible. If in doubt best thing to do is contact the relevant admissions for each vet school.

I'm from Indonesia and currently in my last year of high school. I do quite well in biology but not so well in chemistry. I will try my best to study anw. Currently I haven't got any experience. So what is my chance? Thank you!

You'll need A grades in bio and chem, as well as a lot of vet/animal-related work experience. This however varies per uni and per course. Even then, uni's can reject you based upon your interview or personal statement. There are too many factors to say how much of a chance you have. If you know the requirements inside out, and work exceptionally hard to achieve them, you MAY have a chance.

Also, if you want to go to uni straight out of high school, you should have applied already... :/
