When I applied (1994, UK) it was basically biology, chemistry and either maths or physics. I honestly have no idea what the current admission requirements are. My only point would be that academic ability is such a small part of being a good vet. Compassion, empathy, patience, people skills, motor skills (surgery, blood taking) are far more important for the majority of GP vets. I'm not aware whether or not current entry requirements select for the best candidates for the majority of veterinary jobs. Being a veterinary scientist / academic is a different story..

Biology, chemistry but being around animals and empathy for them and reading every book about animal health and medical conditions and even watching veterinarian shows on TLC on a superficial level even helps.
