<p>I'm having a hard time deciding between UCF or UF for my undergraduate Pre-Vet studies. UF is the only veterinary medicine school in Florida so that's probably where I'm going for graduate school. I got accepted to UCF for the summer and also applied to UF for the summer. I believe I have a pretty good chance of getting into UF as my SAT score is 1340/2040, my bright futures GPA is 4.34 and I have a pretty good amount of EC's.</p>

<p>I'm leaning towards UCF right now because I think there is more opportunity for job internships and community service. I also received the Pegasus Gold and I'm applying to the Honors college.</p>

<p>However, I've heard a lot people tell me that it's better if I got to UF for undergrad because it would make it easier to get into vet school, although this probably isn't true. I also know that UF has better academics overall..</p>

<p>Does anyone have any advice for me??</p>

<p>As a sophomore pre-vet student at UF, I'm telling you that you should pick UF, hands down. UF always leans towards its own graduates first. It even ranks UF's GPA as higher than the same GPA at another state school. UF also has tons of pre-vet opportunities if you put yourself out there. Start early and don't procrastinate when it comes to getting experience. Join the pre-vet club. There also tons of another pre-vet related clubs relating specifically to large animals (Block & Bridle) and even felines (Advocats). There is no better Florida school for a pre-vet kid to go to, even though the academics are very rigorous. Be prepared for some brutal Chemistry classes.</p>
