Looking to go to vet school later…what school is more prestigious for undergraduate, Auburn University or University of Tennesse Knoxville?
Prestige doesn’t matter for vet school admission. Meeting the vet school admissions requirements matters.
Vet school is expensive, there are almost no scholarships, and the entry salaries are low. Pick the place that is cheapest for you.
Vet schools won’t care either way.
Which school will cost you the least? Are you instate for either school?
Looks like you’re a NJ. Resident.
Are your parents paying the rest of the costs after scholarships?
What are your stats?? Did you apply to Miss State?
Grades, GRE scores and animal experience/ECs are what matters to vet schools, not prestige, also if you are in-state for their school. I’d go with a Auburn of those two personally IF cost is equal, otherwise go to the one you will have the least debt.
Choose the best value or cheapest. DO NOT ask your parents to go into debt and kept your own debt to absolute minimum.
About the same prestige, however, both schools have large animal science programs, which is far more important. Either school is a good choice.
Good Luck!
If cost is an issue, and you have strong stats, shoot an app to Miss State…they are still awarding large merit for strong stats. Has an excellent vet school and lots of hands-on volunteering and research opps.
