@Marakov29 Thanks. My daughter is looking at vet school. From what I have seen and been told, one school of thought is undergrad as cheap as possible to help avoid mountain of debt in grad school (because salaries are not great). I understand that MSU has the possibility of being less than in-state flagship on a merit basis. A few other schools can be free/close to free on OOS basis. Then it becomes a balancing act to see what offers the best option in terms of undergrad program, opportunities to get vet experience necessary for vet school admittance and preserving options if there is no acceptance to vet school.
