<p>I know Cornell but I think that's kind of out of my reach. Any more with strong pre-vet programs? In NYC?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I was thinking Cornell too! Cornell is by far one of the best in the country and it’s a 3 year program. It is difficult to get in with only about 36 out of 50 spots open for those who are New York residents. Unfortunately, I believe Cornell is the only fully accredited veterinary school in NY. Check with the AVMA at the following website for more accredited schools. I believe there are only 28 in the country (and they said getting into Med school was hard!): [AVMA</a> Educational Resources](<a href=“http://www.avma.org/education/cvea/colleges_accredited/allcolleges.asp]AVMA”>http://www.avma.org/education/cvea/colleges_accredited/allcolleges.asp)</p>
<p>The OP was asking about undergrad. </p>
<p>My first choice would still be Cornell, but beyond that, any of the SUNYs with a strong animal science program. Or any strong LAC with a good bio program.</p>
<p>Pre-vet, like pre-med is a set of courses, not a major, that qualifies one to apply to vet school.</p>
<p>if you want to venture out of NYC, Wells has a 3-2 program with Cornell vet. Less selective and you get out w/ a DVM from Cornell!</p>
<p>cnp is correct: pre vet is a series of courses a student takes to fulfill vet school acceptance requirements, not a major. Most vet school applicants major in bio or bio chem but as long as you get the requisite courses for admissions under your belt, and the appropriate experience, GPA and GRE scores you are ready to apply.</p>
<p>^Actually, I think that animal science is probably the most common major for vet school applicants. Biology is likely a close second and biochemistry would be a distant third.</p>
<p>historymom- are you sure about the 3/2 DVM program with Cornell? I can’t find any info on it</p>
<p>actually, most vet students major in bio, followed by animal science…a lot more schools offer biology degrees than animal science…kinda depends on which vet school you’re looking at though.</p>
