Hey everyone! I am currently choosing between UPEI and Dalhousie (college of agriculture in Truro) for pre-veterinary program. Anyone who attends/attended either of these, can you share you opinions and thoughts on both schools? Which ones are better?
What are the statistics for both in terms of graduation and passing the exams for grad school? I am planning on going to grad school in the US, so I am only going to Canada to complete my prerequisites.
Both are relatively cheap, but Dalhousie is a little larger. I am more concerned with the quality of programs because it is hard to find stats and ratings online.
I will appreciate all thoughts and suggestions!
Are you American? You will need a bachelor’s degree to enter a US veterinary school. If you are not American then admission to US veterinary schools is at least as difficult as entry to US medical schools. Dalhousie as a whole is 3 times the size of UPEI although UPEI is much larger than Dal’s Truro campus. The prereq’s are offered at both school’s and it would be up to you to do well in those courses.
I am actually from Russia, but am about to graduate an American HS. I studied in the US for four years but going to Canada for undergrad. How hard would it be to transfer back to the US, considering that I’ll have my student visa, if I decide to do so in the middle of getting my bachelors? (Going for a degree in Veterinary Medicine)
@TomSrOfBoston Also, since you seem to know about both Dal (in Truro) and UPEI, maybe you know which one does a better job preparing you for GRE?
