I have been accepted to both schools and have a lot of concerns about where to attend. I want to be a veterinarian, so tech seems like the best option logically, but I truly LOVE Wake Forest. My concern with Wake is I have heard about bad grade deflation and a very low average gpa. Does anyone have input on this? With vet school being so competitive, I’m nervous I wouldn’t achieve a high enough gpa at wake. With tech having a grad vet school, they also have pre-vet undergrad programs, but I don’t love the school. If it were up to simply where I want to go, wake 100%. I love the atmosphere and size of the school. I’m worried if I attend wake though I’ll ruin my chances to be admitted to vet school. Money is not really an issue between the two schools so I’m focusing on the issues in this post. Please let me know your thoughts 
I would go for wake forest. Others might disagree, but a.) you never know if your aspirations might change, and if they do then you’d regret going to VT and b.) wake forest tends to be called work forest but you sound like a hard working student and WF has a fair amount of student support that you can/should 100% take advantage of
Grade deflation at WF is real, and for grad schools whose admissions are heavily stat-based (esp med/vet; law) that is a challenge. There are also a lot of people in the pre-professional intro courses (so the bio/chem/organic/physics run for you), aka “weed-out” classes. You know you: can you/will you push to be at the top of the class in all those courses? will you be one of the stars in your cohort? that’s what it will take to get into vet school, no matter where you go.
I think if Wake is your favorite, go for it! You want to love where you are going. Wake has a great reputation and (aside from any current hot topics 
) is well respected. It’s not one of those schools that is “easy once you are in,” you do have to study and work. Why not just take a nice course load to ease in and get acclimated and see how things go? You don’t have to take 18 hrs of hard classes your first semester, you can take 15 or so and have an easier or less challenging class in there. Get started, keep your grades up and then adjust your classes as needed the following semester? With it being small and close knit, there is a greater, smaller learning environment with likeminded students. My friends/kids have done very well and only say good things. They all say it wasn’t a “breeze” and they did have to study and pay attention, but they received excellent educations and most (if not all) have gone on to further their education.
@Lindseymorgan: What do you love about Wake Forest University ?
Are you still considering the University of Virginia ?
If serious about becoming a veterinarian, then wouldn’t it be wise to volunteer at the VT vet school ?
