A Hopkinsville teen attending the Gatton Academy on the campus of Western Kentucky University has been admitted and fully funded to London’s prestigious Royal Veterinary College.
Gabriella Lynn, who attended University Heights Academy before going to the Gatton Academy, will pursue a joint undergraduate-graduate degree at the college.
A news release says that upon degree completion and successfully passing licensure exams, Lynn will be registered as Member of the Royal Veterinary College and able to practice veterinary medicine in broad swaths of the world, including in the United States, Canada, and throughout Europe.
Royal Veterinary College is the largest and longest-established vet school in the English-speaking world and is a college of the University of London. The RVC was ranked number one in the world for veterinary sciences by QS World University Rankings in 2019.
Lynn says, “I fell in love with the campus and its endless amount of resources. Attending RVC felt unattainable until representatives came to WKU and offered me an interview and then acceptance into admissions.”
