<p>I am currently a junior in high school in the state of Delaware and i have noticed for most vet schools they give priority to residences of there own state and i wanted to know if i went to there state for my undergrad would i be considered instate for my grad degree (DVM) since it would greatly improve my chances of getting in.
(Delaware only has a contract for 2 people at University of Georgia otherwise i would just go instate)</p>
<p>I basically need to know if i can obtain residency in my 4 years of undergrad so i can have residential benefits for admissions into vet school at that same state.</p>
<p>Generally, the answer is no. What you can do, however, is move to the state in which the vet school is located AFTER you complete your undergraduate degree, work for a year while establishing resident status and THEN apply to vet school. That strategy will work for establishing resident status (and increasing your chances of admission) in many states, but be sure to check the requirements for establishing resident status at each of the vet schools that interests you.</p>
<p>Going out of state to get your undergraduate education and doing a darn good job of it while there may well land you one of the out of state spots at that school’s vet program.</p>
<p>Texas A&M, for example, admits about 120 every year to vet school. And they have a set number of out of state spots, like 15. I know of students who were from out of state who attended A&M for undergrad and then got one of their out of state spots for vet school.</p>
