Following up on Posts #35 and 40, is OP’s daughter very comfortable around larger animals - horses, cows etc.? Not all vet opportunities are going to be clinics in affluent suburbs, tending to house pets. Kids who grow up around these animals and have experience tending to them are going to be much more at ease. I am not an animal person myself, and I always felt that animals I encounter can sense that. My sister teaches in the midwest and she says many of her students study pre-vet or something related to vet sciences. They’ve grown up in farm country, done 4-H, and at ease with the barnyard friends.
