<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>
