I’m not sure if it matters or not, but if you go to a University that has a vet school you would be better off because you would know exactly what they want. In fact, at NCSU, you don’t have to get your four year to apply to vet school, you just have to have all the prerequisites, which means less time.
Good luck!

I live in Michigan and I know for a fact that Michigan State is famous for their great Veterinary program. If you’re looking in the Mid-West area, definitely consider Michigan State as an undergrad option.

Good Luck!

Like all school admissions, doing very well at a good school with a strong academic reputation is more important than going to one specific school over another. Go to a school that’s a good fit for *you*–where you’ll be happy, successful, financially salvageable (remember, vet school costs $ $ $ too), and have as many opportunities as possible (and if you’re sure about vet school, perhaps consider potential volunteer opportunities at each college).

Also, vet school admissions isn’t very standardized (e.g. unlike med school, where all schools require essentially the same classes)…it can be a good idea to contact the schools you are most interested in and to find out their required classes and volunteer hour ranges (some vet schools require a LOT of hours, and with different ranges…large animal vs small, etc). Since there can be a very wide range, the sooner you have a rough idea of what classes you’ll need to take the better. Oh, and remember to be as well researched and professional when you talk to these schools–even just for basic info–because every impression counts when it comes to admissions. 🙂
