<p>What courses in high school should I take in order to become a vet?</p>
<p>Probably most of the sciences courses, especially the AP science courses. You should definitely take AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and Genetics(if your school offers it).</p>
<p>Hey, I’m also a high school student (junior in September), and I’m aspiring to be a vet too. I took a zoology course as an elective last year for one term, and am taking AP Bio next year. I’ve been taking research science courses (sort of like honors; it’s more advanced and in-depth than your normal science course) for the past two years, and will be taking honors physics next year too.</p>
<p>From what I’ve seen and read, you should have at least one course in computer science (this was mandated as a course for my school), four years of sciences (particularly chemistry and biology, so take a few more electives for those two), and you should do well in your math courses. So maybe take some electives that involve math, if you’re good at it?</p>
<p>Hope that helps some, :).</p>
<p>Oh, and more importantly-- you have to do extremely well in school. It’s not just a matter of which courses you take; you have to get incredible grades as well.</p>
<p>thank you for your in-depth reply hawkdancer. I am a rising junior too. I plan on taking AP Calc AB, AP Chem, physics, and comp. science this year. I am taking zoology, AP bio, AP Physics, and possibly ap environmental science year</p>
<p>Given that vet school is after you get your undergrad degree, how important is your HS curriculum/grades for vet school admission?</p>
