You are on the right track with that. Many (if not most) schools have seats to fill and bills to pay. A vet with a "legit" (i.e., not credit card and resume) degree and a job has a demonstrated track record of service and success. Definitely "negotiate" with admissions. There are plenty of places out there eager for the business. As long as they are convinced you aren't going to embarrass them, they will be willing to do a little "whole person" evaluation.
