<p>PLEASE HELP:</p>
<p>Hello im a high school student athlete and am having difficult choosing betweens schools. I am unsure of my major but i either want to receive an undergraduate degree in psychology or some type of science to qualify for veterinary school (and make it into a good one). </p>
<p>I really love George Washington University. Is it possible for me to be an appealing application to a veterinary school if i graduate with a science degree from there? if i choose the veterinary path, I would like to eventually earn a degree from UC Davis. Would they consider me if I do my pre-vet at GW?</p>
<p>PLEASE HELP!!!</p>
<p>Most veterinary schools mostly accept their own in state students. Are you a California resident? While you can major in anything as long as you have the prerequisites, you also need experience with animals. GW is a good school, but it is urban. Will it offer the prerequsites you need? Is there a pre-vet club?
Other schools may have more options for working with animals. Also consider the total costs of different schools as it is expensive to attend school for that many years.</p>
<p>No i am from the east coast and would be recieving a large scholorship to go to GW so expense there wouldnt be too bad. There isnt an animal science major but here is the link to all undergrad majors. PLEASE HELP</p>

<p>You can major in anything as long as you complete the prerequisites for the veterinary schools you will be applying to. They can vary a bit, but each one describes them on their website. Most of them can be taken at any college- and they are similar to the ones for pre-meds. Some might require a class in animal nutrition- which is offered on line or you may be able to take it in the summer at another college.
You also will need to have hands on experience with animals. The Washington Zoo would be one possibility for volunteer work/internships.
You could also take classes at University of Maryland. I don’t know how the commuting would be, so maybe a semester there, where you could take animal nutrition and get some hands on animal experience there.

<p>Also know that veterinary schools accept mostly in state students.</p>
<p>UC Davis actually wants it’s Vet School applicants to be more technical than in the past, so at least the science part of your degree should be fine. Agree with what’s been said before, you need to get the prerequisites in, and those vet hours need to be under a veterinarian. My daughter is attending UC Davis undergrad and the vet club there has been an enormous help to her. She has chosen engineering as her undergrad major - only one on campus that she knows of, but she loves engineering and animals.</p>
