<p>UT Austin- chemistry
Texas A&M- biomedical science, possibly honors prog
Colorado State- biomedical science, honors prog, scholarship</p>
<p>I want to be a veterinarian and CS and A&M are two of the top 3 vet schools in the country but.... UT is a better school overall. I'm thinking UT but I just want to hear some opinions of how to look at this situation.</p>
<p>Colorado State isn’t anywhere near the prestige of UT or A&M. Pick based on fit between UT and A&M.</p>
<p>What are the critical application components for vet school? The reason I ask is because for med school you would go where you could get the highest gpa for your money and that wouldn’t necessarily be UT. Vet school is more competitive than med school so you really need to be familiar with the requirements now (I’m not, sorry.)</p>
<p>Yes I’m thinking CSU is definitely out. </p>
<p>The only school I haven’t heard from is Case Western… How does CWR compare to UT?</p>
<p>Vet school is alot like applying to med school so I don’t want a school with horrible grade deflation ^yea :p</p>
<p>So Case western Reserve v. UT Austin?</p>
<p>UT Austin for sure</p>
<p>ut and colorado st are two very different levels of school. ut is way better. uts also gotta mega big alumni support.</p>
<p>I don’t know the answer to your question but I think you should follow the advice from sadilly and learn exactly what you need to get into vet school and work backwards. The overall “prestige” of UT vs. A&M or CSU might not be as relevant for someone who has an interest in animal medicine. UT might be a better school, but it doesn’t have a vet school or animal science or agriculture. I’m sure you could get the pre-vet classes you need there, but it’s not going to be better preparation than A&M or CSU for what you want. If you are into US News and World report rankings, CSU is the number three vet school in the country (following Cornell and UC Davis) so I’m sure they could prepare you well for vet school even if they lack the prestige of UT. It really is a good school despite what you will hear here. Texas A&M is also a great vet school at number eight, and I’m sure an equally good undergrad pre-vet program to CSU. Vet school is expensive and the average earning potential isn’t great so you don’t want to have to take on large debt to get your degree. It might be wise to get your undergrad education at the best price (Texas A&M?) and save your money for vet school. If money is no object, CSU would be a great option for undergrad.</p>
<p>Idk the thing is I’m not 100% about vet school lately so I don’t know if I should go there based on that. I’m thinking UT. Ugh this is the biggest decision I’ve had to make ever x.x</p>
<p>Even if you don’t do vet school, a scholarship (depending on the amount) should carry significant weight in your decision. Also consider the perks of the honors programs. You could always transfer if CSU doesn’t work out. Ultimately, college is what you make of it.
