<p>I plan on applying for vet school. Any advice on what college would be the best one for me to get my undergrad degree from?</p>
<p>Colorado State University has a really great vet program from what I understand. Maybe look into that one.</p>
<p>Michigan State, Iowa State, and many other schools with an agricultural base offer great programs for undergrads set on vet school.</p>
<p>Do you think that it would be to my advantage to go to a less selective school like Iowa State or CSU as opposed to a more selective school like Tulane, Brandeis or Vassar that don’t have the agricultural-based majors but are still strong in the life sciences? I plan on going large animal, most likely equine.</p>
<p>I would do a little research because I think CSU has a special equine program and there are other schools that probably do too. Honestly, though, I think that any of the places you listed will prepare you just fine for vet school.</p>
<p>How do you think taking a gap year or taking off first semester of this coming year (my first year) and studying abroad would affect my getting in to a vet school, what with it being more competitive than med school admissions and all… I am in a sticky situation right now, as I was not accepted to any of my competitive schools(Brown, Princeton, Vassar, Tufts, Amherst and McGill), I was waitlisted at Tulane, and I do not want to go to the other three I was accepted to (Wheaton, UVM and UMO) for various reasons. I am weighing my options right now- I’m seriously considering applying at some other schools for spring admission and studying abroad for first semester or just taking a gap year… But I’m not sure how vet schools would look at that.</p>
<p>The best place would a school that has a strong Animal Science undergrad program and has a track record of getting their students into vet school.</p>
<p>Look that the vet school(s) you are interested in and see which schools their current students most often went for undergrad. When I was at UC Davis it tended to be schools with the strongest Animal Science programs and not necessarily the most prestigious colleges in the various overall rankings.</p>
