If your school offers them, I would highly recommend taking Advanced Placement (AP) classes (English, Statistics, Calculus, Biology, etc,.) These courses will actually be able to fulfill the requirements for vet school if you score well on the AP tests and you won't have to take them once you get to college. This ends up costing you less money and can save you time in the long run! If you can't take AP classes then just keep taking the courses your school recommends for students who want to go to college and do your best in these classes! Besides classes, you can start gaining animal experience in high school. I have included more information about becoming a veterinarian below: Most people who go to vet school have a bachelor's degree, but it is not required to get into vet school. There are only 28 veterinary schools in the country (There are also several international schools that are AVMA accredited) and entrance to these is highly competitive, so not having a bachelor's can make it more difficult. You can complete the courses you need at any college that offers them, including a community college if money is an issue.
