I concur with Teebs. Grossmont is the better school. The curriculumn ther has been masterfully designed totransfer credit to a UC or CSU school very easily. A lot of SDSU and UCSD students go to Grossmount to take classes that would usually be impacted and more costly to attend in the respective universities. \n\nI went there many moons ago while attending SDSU at the same time. Grossmount was sometimes called little SDSU.

There are only a handful of veterinary medicine (DVM) programs in the country.  I think Purdue is the only vet school in Indiana, so if you want to pursue other options, you'll have to look out-of-state.  As for nearby programs, check out Michigan State, Ohio State, and the University of Illinois.

Yeah if you go to school, there is no other way, you have to go to school in order to get the degree. Because you have to learn alot about the anatomy of every single species of animals, it will be hard, but it will be worth it. I say go for it. My sister is a vet asst. and she has a fun time, but she does not make a lot.Being a doctor is not for everyone, but if you dont mind the constant testing then you should be ok.

I have heard many good things from friends in Cali. Here is a link to help you out:\nhttp://www.humboldt.edu/~educ/

Hi there.  I am a special education teacher in northern CA (Sonoma County.)  I have the "old credential" which is called Severely Handicapped (SH).  In order to get an SH credential, I did need a Multiple Subject Credential.  But the credential requirements have changed in recent years, and there are several ways to get a Special Ed credential now.  (Now they are called Mild/Moderate, Moderate/Severe, etc. etc.)  Check out this address for the California Teacher Credentials info for special ed:\n\nwww.ctc.ca.gov\n\nOn the home page, click on "Click here to find out how to become a teacher."  On the next page, click on "I want to teach special education students."\n\nI have had a number of interns and student teachers in the last several years, and only one of them had an Multiple Subject credential.   A Multiple Subject credential does authorize you to "teach all subjects in a self-contained class, and as a self-contained classroom teacher, to team teach or regroup students across classrooms, in grades twelve and below..."  Since most Special Day Classes are self-contained, that's perhaps where the CSU reasoning is coming from.  However, to get a permanent job in special ed, you would need a specialist credential.   And that no longer necessarily requires a Multiple Subject.\n\nIn the SF North Bay area, I know of 2 universities that have good reputations for Special Ed credentialing programs, and I am sure there are more.  I have had some personal experience with special ed credentials students from Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park (Sonoma County) and Dominican University (Marin County.)  \n\nThe SF area is beautiful - expensive housing, but lots to see and do.  And I love the climate.  I got my first special ed credentials in Pennsylvania and in West Virginia, but I got burned out on the harsh winters.  I've been here for nearly 30 years, and it's home to me now.  And I LOVE my job!\n\nAnyway, check out the CTC website and go from there.  Good luck!

Really depends on what you want to study. Once you determine that go with the better school for that subject. Also you should visit both schools and get a feel for the community, people, area, ect. When I was visiting schools it was very clear from the moment I walked on campus whether I would like it or not. It might be the same way for you. I have seen both schools campuses and I think that Cornell is in a great location, with an excellent repuation. USC is also a great school. But who wants to live in south central L.A.? I sure wouldn't. Good luck in your search.

Wow!  What a great career goal, good luck to you!\n\nA quick search of a few vet schools revealed some interesting information.  Some of them require a certain number of pre-vet hours and some of them require a degree for admission.\n\nCheck the admission requirements for the schools you wish to apply to.  If they only require hours, ultimately the vet school will confer your degree.  If they require a degree, then your current program may not be adequate for admission.\n\nUnderstanding the requirements of the school you wish to attend will ensure that you are properly prepared when application time rolls around.\n\nBest Wishes!

There are many great schools to go to in order to advance a veterinary career.  I would check out colleges or universities with strong science departments.  You can really major in anything you want and still get into vet schools but I would recommend that you major in a science, that way you can come to vet school with a strong science background.  Be prepared to work hard and study harder in college.  I didn't major in a natural science and I still got into vet school, so you should really major in something you enjoy.  By attending an undergrad university that has a vet school (ie Cornell, Tufts, Upenn, UC Davis) you are better ensured to recieve good preparation for the vet classes from your undergrad courses but it doesn't really give you an advantage to getting into that vet school in particular. \nMy advice for you is this, do well in school, work hard and play hard.  Have fun, take a variety of classes (not just sciences).  Take advantage of study abroad programs and extracurricular activites.\nAs far as volunteering goes, start now.  It is really good to have an interesting and broad resume when applying to vet schools.  I volunteered in shelters, zoos and vet clinics.  A lot of schools like to know that students have had some exposure to research as well but this may not be practical until you are a bit older.\nJust try your best in school, pursue a variety of different experiences and participate in things that you love.  This will eventually lead you to the right path for you.

I graduated from there. It is a BIG school with an amazing selection of excellent degree programs. I suggest you live in the dorms to start off -- you have to find a community there or you'll go a little nuts.

see what it takes for Veterinary Science, you know the beginning stuff like pre-med.  Maybe that'd help.  Or contact your local County Extension  Agent and he can pull out all kinds of brochures on subjects related to the one your looking for.  Good Luck Animal Lover

Chris McCarron's Kentucky Jockey School is the only one that comes to mind, but it is in KY.\n\nnews.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.asp?id=30352\n\nOther than that, I would contact Lone Star Park in Texas or Louisiana Down in LA, and ask themn where you could find such a school.

I would say both PCC and Santa Monica City are good..but i attended East Los Angeles College and I liked it alot.  Many people i went to school at ELAC got accepted to UCLA etc.  Mount Sac should be good too.  Good luck!

As a CA native, born and raised......all are good schools that you mentioned. USC is great, but the location it is in can be described as " Ghetto " and it's in a really bad part of the Los Angeles Community. Although that has nothing to do with the school itself. \n\nBerkley is great and would be a good choice! UCSB is good, I had some friends that went there but it isnt better than Berkley or USC.
