<p>I know UF would be the best school to go to for pre-vet undergrad, but I got rejected. So what FL school would best help me prepare to enter UF’s vet school in 4 years? Anyone know anything about UCF’s pre-vet?</p>
<p>Any of Florida’s universities can prepare you for admission to a vet school. Get A’s, be active in college activities, get good recommendations from your college professors and you can get into a vet school. Graduate programs admit students, not undergraduate colleges.</p>
<p>Very true, but certain schools have better programs in certain areas than others. For example, UCF is best known for engineering, and FSU is known to have wonderful fine arts programs. Same thing applies to pre-vet.</p>
<p>After UF–USF, UCF, and FSU had the most graduates entering as new students in UF’s vet college fall 2012. </p>

<p>Thank you! I wonder if UF gives preference to their own graduates, or if it’s just because other schools don’t have as many people applying</p>
<p>It is very, very competitive getting into any vet school. Florida has only one vet college–UF’s. There are seven allopathic medical colleges in Florida! 748 applied to UF vet college last year, only 111 were enrolled and almost half of them are from UF. It is typical for graduate schools to admit many from their own undergraduate college. You need to put your blinders on and not worry about others, concentrate on yourself and work toward getting in a vet college. Start off your first semester in college by making sure you get an A in chemistry and an A in calculus and go from there! Good luck!</p>
<p>Thank you very much, lizard!</p>
<p>I feel like fsu may have more prestige but ucf may have more opportunities for experience and internships because of the fact that they are right in orlando!</p>
