[QUOTE="4CTophand, post: 611767, member: 9140"] [b]As UW Alumni, Let'r Buck 1998--- UW is a good school, but has no vet school and they send you to CSU down in Ft Collins. There are several different ways to get to vet school: 1. Go get a General Ag degree and incorporate the classes you need for vet school like physics, Chem 1&2, Organic Chem 1 and 2, and Gen Bio 1& 2 plus Biochemistry into your curriculum. Dont forget about math too, like algebra 1 & 2, trig, and calculus 1 & 2. Genetics at UW was a real treat too, by the way. Usually smaller colleges and universities have much easier classes than a big school like UW or TAMU. Also remember that there are many people interested in Vet education and you will have to maintain a minimum of 3.50 GPA even to be [u]considered[/u]. Also remember that many vet schools require the GRE with a score of 1000 or better. The only University that doesnt require the GRE is KSU in Manhattan. 2. Go to a big school like TAMU and go ahead and get this vet school business out of your system as that school sees 200 wanna be pre-vet students walk through their doors per semester. You first semester at TAMU will look like this: Pre-vet med English (3 hrs) Algebra or trig or Cal 1 (3-4 hrs) Gen Bio I with Lab (4 hrs) Gen Chem I with Lab (4 hrs) i core required course (3 hrs) 17 semester hours just to keep up with your peers and that means you wont see your first party or any other extracurricular activity until your Junior Year. 3. Or you could just do a Vet Tech program anywhere in the US. But really, if you dont have the highschool background where you took a lot of AP Science and Math you can forget TAMU especially if you are out of State as they just dont have room for ya. Plus if your SAT's are below 1200 you can forget about TAMU OkSU is a good school their requirements are less than TAMU(Premier Vet School) KSU I feel like it is easier to get into than any other school CSU in Ft Collins --- tough Curriculum they will rip you a new one, plus you will need to buy some Birkenstocks and start wearing some Jasmine cologne and grow your hair out a lil longer and chances are your first date in Ft Collins hasnt shaved her pits in 3 yrs. Auburn is good University of GA isd by far the cheapest of any school in the Nation, Excellent deal and great education, but here again if you dont have a 1200 SAT and especially if you are out of state you can forget that too. Cornell University is really good the only Ivy League Ag school in the Nation-- Great school if you have some $$$$ Purdue-- great school Michigan State Univ another great Program VT in Blacksburg VA is also a very good program NC State is also a good program Penn State is a great program The reason I have this information is when I was considering Vet school I looked into all these schools and after getting accepted to TAMU -- I ultimately decided upon a PhD program instead, because I really didnt want to work 70 hours a week in the mud and the blood fixing other peoples messes, but to each their own. [u]I had a Masters Degree when I applied to TAMU and a GPA of 3.97 and a GRE of 1300, so that is the kind of people you would be competing with and even with my GPA and GRE I was considered an average applicant[/u][/b] Good Luck T A lil fear of Vet School is a good thing-- that way they keep the dreamers out and the doers in.
