Colleges should look at over Summer

<p>While I'll be heading to college this summer, my brother, a sophomore, will be starting his college search, here are his stats.</p>

<p>3.1 GPA, UW
Few honors Courses</p>

<p>Rank-32%</p>

<p>SAT- 1120 (1600 scale)</p>

<p>ECs- Roller hockey 4years</p>

<p>Whats to do pre-vet and attend a big public school. What should he consider?</p>

<p>Michigan State U</p>

<p>EDIT: He should have no problems getting in, my stats are nearly identical (my sat score is a tad higher) to his and I got in.</p>

<p>university of rhode island</p>

<p>Auburn University...</p>

<p>Any of the schools at this link would be good. They have vet schools.</p>

<p>Which of those are the good ones?</p>

<p>I actually have no idea how getting in out of state compares to in state... but North Carolina State University has a Vet school and a good program for those going into it.</p>

<p>The best vet schools (not necessarily pre-vet)
Cornell
Michihgan State
Ohio State
U Penn
Purdue
Iowa State
Colorado State
UC Davis
U Minnesota
U Missouri</p>

<p>above in no particular order</p>

<p>The best vet school in Japan is Nihon U (learn to care for Snow Monkeys)</p>

<p>Vet schools are all going to be good no matter which one you to b/c there are so few. Would imagine that the more ag-based schools are going to be better at large animal stuff.</p>

<p>Kansas State has a solid vet school (too bad it's in Manhattan)</p>

<p>Oregon State University.</p>

<p>Vet programs are really competitive to get into. If part of that SAT score is not a 700 plus math score, he needs to spend time working to improve that.</p>

<p>Texas A&M University is supposed to have a very good vet school (I think).</p>

<p>Virginia Tech</p>

<p>uc davis is a good bet...but he should try to raise his SAT and his class ranking.</p>
