<p>I am trying to take some classes that I know I will need to take in college as a pre-vet major...I am a junior now in high school and these are the classes I'm taking now:
AP Physics B
Intro to College 101
Italian 4 Honors
Math 12 Honors (Pre Calc)
AP Chemistry
Gym
U.S. History Reg
AP English Language and Composition
I am doubling up on sciences this year because I know you need a strong science backround to be a vet...
I am thinking about my schedule for next year and this is what I thought...
AP Biology
Marine Studies (I don't have to take this class, just though it would be a good idea, any other suggestions?)
AP Calculus
AP English Literature and Composition
Italian 5 College
Baking (1/2 year) and Honors Econonmics (1/2 year)
Gym (1/2 year) and Social Issues (1/2 year)
I though about taking Marine Studies because I love all animals, but marine mammals are my passion. But if there is another class that is better to take, I'm open to ideas!
Also, what colleges offer a great pre-vet program?? Which ones have a high acceptance rate into vet school? The ones that I have found don't seem to meet my interests... I want to be in a warm area, near some kind of city, and have an amazing education! It would also be nice if its near the water/beach, since I love marine mammals</p>
<p>I don’t know much about vet, but I would say not to take bs classes next year. Take calc and other core classes. Other than Marine studies (because its relevant to what you want to do) don’t slack off.</p>
<p>Thank you! And yup I don’t plan on slacking off. I am taking AP’s in what I can, and the other classes like social issues and economics, are required to graduate, so apparently I have to take those.</p>
<p>Is NY your home state?</p>
<p>Vet school tends to be more state-based than other programs. Find your in-state vet schools and then find out what undergrad programs tend to send the most students to them.</p>
<p>Also look at the prevet discussion elsewhere on this site.</p>
<p>Ok thank you! Yes, New York is my home state so I will look at vet schools here. Thanks again for the advice!</p>
<p>Ok so I’ve been thinking more about my senior schedule and came up with some ideas that balance what I need to graduate and AP’s for college. Schedule 1: Ap bio, ap calc ab, ap English, social issues and gym, honors Econ and baking, Italian 5 college, and marine studies Schedule 2: Ap bio, ap calc ab, ap English, anatomy and gym, ap economics, Italian 5 college, and baking and international cuisine Or schedule 3: ap bio, ap calc ab, ap English, gym and anatomy, ap economics, Italian 5 college, and ap psych I want to get as many college credits as possible but I don’t want to over do it and have an impossible amount of work, which schedule is best and any other schedule suggestions?? (By the way I wanna go for pre vet in college)</p>
