I like Pepperdine a lot as a school. However will it prepare me well for applying to vet school or other grad programs?
While I agree Pepperdine is a fine school for many programs, I don’t think it is a knockout punch when it comes to Vet school. There are so many other schools where you will have more opportunities for hands-on research, volunteer, internships, and involvement in the field of Vet medicine. Some folks say you can go to Med school with any undergrad degree, my response has always been “why would you want to do that”? If you want to get into Med/Vet/Grad school, don’t you want to spend undergrad time getting to know the field, making sure it is your passion, learning earlier if you are making the right decision? Also, making contacts, learning more about the field, perhaps modifying your specific area of expertise based on real life experiences…
