1. Complete your undergraduate course prerequisites
You don’t necessarily need to finish your four-year college degree before applying for vet school, but it is highly encouraged. Most schools prefer applicants with a bachelor’s degree. Undergraduate degree or not, you will need to take a number of college classes that meet all the course prerequisites. Choosing a major is up to you, but most schools recommend undergraduate degrees in Biology, Animal Science, Biological Sciences, or the Biomedical Sciences. No matter your undergraduate degree, be sure to do well in your core science and math classes. Your veterinary school admissions teams are going to look closely at those courses on your transcripts when evaluating your transcripts. “Evaluating transcripts is not just about grades (although they are important and you have to have a C or better in the pre-requisite courses); it is also looking for evidence of learning maturity from year to year—looking for solid performance even as courses become more difficult,” says Ross Vet Associate Director of Admissions Ruth Schroeder.
