<p>I would either like to be a vet or a doc. What are the differences between each course program?</p>
<p>Fewer vet schools and I think you take the GMAT over the MCAT.</p>
<p>what about the courses?</p>
<p>Both pre-med and pre-vet are simply tracks with specific pre-req courses, you can major in whatever you want to eventually get into your grad school, as long as your grades are top-notch and you have experience, all that stuff.</p>
<p>You take the GRE for most vet schools, although its an option to also take the MCAT.</p>
<p>The pre-req courses are fairly similar--both require a year of general chemistry, general biology, organic chemistry, physics, labs for all, biochemistry, a good anatomy course, etc. Varies from school to school depending on which you are interested in for Med or Vet school eventually. </p>
<p>Generally for Med School you also need to have a calculus course, more biochemistries, and its good to have some upper level sciences like Cell Biology or something. While it is also good to have that for Vet School, you might rather take some Animal Science or Zoology courses to get a broader background. </p>
<p>If you havent already had a fair amount of animal experience (at least 500 hours working for a couple different vets or getting farm animal experience) you would need to start that to even have a chance at vet school. Just what I know from personal experience.</p>
<p>If you want to be a vet, your first step should be enlisting in a branch of the military. Then you need to go off and fight somewhere.</p>
<p>Personally, I think that a med program is much safer than a vet program.</p>
<p>why? what is so unsafe about it?</p>
<p>that is what we commonly refer to as a double entendre (vet = veterinarian OR veteran)</p>
<p>????????????????????????</p>
<p>It's a joke.</p>
<p>veteran = veteran of the armed forces
Hence, in the framework of GoldShadow's joke, being premed would be safer than being prevet, because prevet would mean pre-veteran-of-the-armed-forces and would therefore mean you would have to go through a tour of duty in the armed forces to become a vet. It's a joke.
Just out of curiosity (and this is in NO way mean in a derogatory fashion), is English your first language Bubby?</p>
<p>No... dutch.</p>
