<strong><em>I also really want to be a veterinarian!</em></strong>
What schools would you guys recommend? I know a lot of you are very college savvy so I would appreciate any advice! Thanks!
<p>Cornell, especially if you want to be a veterinarian. I'm pretty sure they have a school for that.</p>
<p>Are you looking for a large school or a small school? medium, perhaps?</p>
<p>Do you have a particular preference for geographic area? Perhaps a region you like, or a state?</p>
<p>What about the location of the school. Do you want it in a larget city, in a suburb, near a city, in "middle of nowhere?"</p>
<p>do you want a religious school? A very liberal school? a conservative school? a relatively balanced school?</p>
<p>Do you want an intense school, a laid back school, or a "work hard, play hard" school?</p>
<p>Do you want to be challenged to the point of breaking, or do you not want to be challenged at all? Perhaps somewhere in the middle?</p>
<p>Do you care about the "prestige" of the world? the country? the state? random people you see on the street, maybe those you eat with during dinner parties? Perhaps just vet schools or med schools?</p>
<p>There's a lot to consider, but this is a start. You look pretty good as an applicant from what can be judged.</p>
<p>Tufts has a very strong veterinarian program. </p>
<p>After your four-year degree, getting into a veterinarian program is harder than getting into a med school. Whatever college you go to, make sure it has a strong pre-vet program. You could start by looking up the list of veterinarian colleges.</p>
<p>UC Davis has a vet school, if you didn't know.</p>
<p>why the heck would the latin club need a leslative rep? lol just curious</p>
<p>My Latin teacher is crazy about Latin and the Romans and she managed to get 40 + people signed up for Latin Club. They're mostly freshmen, but still, it's better than the 15 members we started out with! Also, ICC (club coordinating thing at my school) requires that each club, no matter how small, have a legis. representative.</p>
<p>I would strongly advise you going to vet school in your state-it's much, much easier to get in. I would also advise you to go to a college with a veterinary school for undergrad because veterinary experience is extremely important in vet school admissions. Some of the best schools for pre-vet are:
North
-Cornell
-U Penn
-Tufts</p>
<p>South
-Duke/JHU
-NC State
-UGA</p>
<p>West
-UC Davis
-Stanford
-UC Irvine</p>
<p>Texas A&M if you are near this area.</p>
<p>a lot of schools require positions to have more students have positions.</p>
<p>Cornell and Tufts, absolutely.</p>
<p>After you get your four-year degree and apply to a vet school is when it gets competitive. There are only a few vet schools. Look at the website for the Assoc of American Veterinarian Medical Colleges at <a href="http://www.aavmc.org%5B/url%5D">http://www.aavmc.org</a>. They like to see that you have experience working with animals and so do this as much as possible in college and over the summers. It is not necessary to go to a vet school for undergrad. There are good pre-vet programs at other colleges, but the vet schools in the US are:</p>
