<p>So I want to ultimately become a veterinarian, and I know that I can major in anything as long as I do the pre-reqs for vet school. So with that in mind, it's hard to choose between the two schools (Note: I'm a senior and I have three days to choose). Princeton's #2 in the nation, and Cornell's #14, but has a renowned biomed/biology department (I'd be going to CALS). I have an ROTC scholarship for both schools, so money is no longer a factor. The question is, will the Princeton name do me any justice? Or should I go and focus in ag & life science right away?</p>
<p>(I want to major in Animal Science or Biology, btw)</p>
<p>I also noticed Cornell's pre-reqs for for their vet school, and they seem to be the only school with 3 credits of microbiology WITH lab as a pre-req. Princeton didn't immediately say they had a lab for their Microbio class. It seems highly unlikely, but it could put a dent in fulfilling the requirements. </p>
<p>I already have to take additional time in the summer to get a job/get experience in vet medicine if I go to Princeton, since there's no real FOCUS on veterinary medicine, but is it really worth it? Or should I go with Cornell?</p>
<p>For the record, I thought Princeton was awesome, but Cornell was somewhere I could see myself living for four years. </p>
<p>I'll take any comments, regarding major choice, department rankings, even campus life. In fact, campus life especially!</p>
<p>Since I have only 3 days, please respond as soon as possible. I need this.</p>
