What are some undergraduate schools to get into vet school? Also, what majors do I need to take so I can get into vet school? I am in high school and is looking forward to becoming a veterinarian. I thought at first it was only 4 years and done, you become a veterinarian but actually you need to go to college or university, get a bachelor's degree and get into vet school.

How do you stay motivated while pursuing a demanding degree?

For context, I come from a low-income background and am pursuing a degree in veterinary medicine. I know that this career path is difficult in terms of coursework and requires many years of schooling. I am transferring from a Community College to a 4-year institution this fall, with veterinary school following afterward. As I am transferring into such a specific major so my academic pathway requires at least 2.5 years, with the addition of taking Summer and Winter classes, with veterinary school being 4 years. My financial background also sets me back in struggling to pay for school and likely needing to work full time, which hinders my studies. Veterinary school is noted to be very competitive, and most people get rejected in their first year of applying. I am trying to stay optimistic throughout the hardships and also want to make the most of my time in college. Overall, how do you stay motivated in such a difficult career path while also balancing personal life, work, and getting involved on campus? #Spring25

What do you think are the most important qualities for someone to succeed in the veterinary field, and how can aspiring veterinarians best prepare for the challenges of the job?

I’m currently in 12th grade and graduated early in December. I’ll be an upcoming freshman majoring in biology at Kennesaw State University with the goal of becoming a veterinarian to all animals.

How do you think veterinary medicine in the U.S. could be improved?

I am a senior in high school that will graduate next month. I will go to college and plan to major in Animal Science for Pre-Vet Medicine. I love animals and want to help them. I’m always curious to know the major challenges in veterinary medicine and overall care in different areas of the U.S. and not just locally in my community in TX. In TX I know we suffer with the lack of Veterinarians and education costs in TX along with the demand for services with more pet ownership.

How do I enter myself into the animal psychology field, and what career paths are available there (that can sufficiently support me)?

I am a senior in high school who, somewhat recently, discovered that I enjoy observing animal behaviors. I've always known that I love general/human psychology, but applying them to animals makes it much more fun for me. It's not a common field and there's not much out there that I can find on it. Also, to clarify, I am not interested in a veterinary path, as I do not want to treat animals (at least, not based on physical health).

Should I Get a Job as Soon as I Get to College?

I am a current high school senior and will be attending Texas A&M University in the fall to study animal science. I have held a job as a vet tech for the past two years and was hoping to find another job as a vet tech once I get to College Station, however people keep recommending that I hold off until at least after the first semester.

What is it like to be a wildlife veterinarian?

Hello! I've been interested in veterinary medicine for a while, and have recently been especially drawn to the idea of working with wildlife. If anyone could tell me more about what this job entails, expected salary (I've heard it's less than a clinical vet but I'm unsure of how much), and overall if you would recommend it, that would be super helpful! Thanks!

What should I do for my future?? #Spring2025

I don't know what to pursue, and I am about to graduate high school. I want a higher paying career, and I am interested in animals and psychology. I also excel in E.L.A, and enjoy it as well. I just don't quite know where I would fit in or what career I should try for/what to major in. I would also like to go for the least amount of schooling possible, 4-6 years being ideal.

What should i focus on in high school if i want to be a veterinarian?

I've had a love for animals ever since i was little, and by the time i was 7 i decided that i wanted to be a vet. In middle school all i could do to get ready for being a veterinarian was doing good in my classes. In my three years of middle school I did 2 years of band, 2 years of orchestra, 2 years of cheerleading , 2 years of winter guard, `1 year of art, 1 year of theater, and 1 year of outdoor trails. I was just wondering what i should do in my 4 years of high school. If you have any tips for me i would greatly appreciate it, thanks. 😊❤️

What careers would suit me if I am interested in going into either a biology related field or a criminal justice field?

I know that my preferences may change by the time I have to choose a primary topic of study for college. I'm just curious if there are any other careers within the couple of fields that I'm interested in and could be researching at the moment. I like science in general: mainly chemistry, biology, and anatomy. Plus I've always liked working with animals. I also like the process that goes into criminal investigation. I've been doing research and actively learning more about crime investigation to see if I'd like to pursue it in the future.
