Since you can not go directly from high school to veterinary school, but must do 4years of "Pre-Vet" first, there is not a problem making up the additional science classes at a community of four year college. Yes you'll have a lot of catching up to do - and it wont be easy - but it CAN be done. You'll probably want to start at a 2-yr college first, since the costs are much lower - to take those classes. 2-yr colleges tend to also have easier classes, so it will help your GPA.

You need to find out EXACTLY what pre-requisits you need for medical school.  If your college cannot tell you this...contact the medical school(s) you plan to apply to.\n\nGood luck...it's a long hard road.  College and medical school are the easy part.  It's internship, residency, and life that are the buttocks kickers.

I suggest you find a vet school you might want to go to and contact them and ask them what they are looking for. That might help you plan better:-)

Do NOT major in pre-med. At most universities it is only a program and not a major. Pre-med refers to a program in which you take a bunch of science classes which are pre-requisite classes to most if not all of the medical schools in the U.S. and other countries. The pre-med program consists of the following classes: Biology 1 & 2, general chemistry 1 & 2, organic chemistry 1 & 2, physics 1 & 2, and all of these classes need associated labs with them. Other than these science courses, you will need to complete english, math, and psychology courses. When you start undergrad, go with the pre-med program and major in whatever interests you. A lot of people come to college thinking that they want to go to medical school, but they later change their minds. Major in whatever interests you so that if you decide not to go to medical school you will have a degree which you can use. \nWhen you complete these science courses you can take the MCAT (medical college admissions test), and apply to medical schools. It is extremely competitive and grades alone are not going to get you in. Get involved in research, volunteer, and other extracurricular activities. Most important activity is to volunteer/shadow physicians at a hospital because before you commit to such a demanding career, you should be sure that this is something that you want to do. Exposing yourself to healthcare will allow you to examine the profession and decide for yourself if this is something that you really want. \nThe first two years of medical school is hardcore science courses such as biochemistry, physiology, anatomy, microbiology, etc. At the end of these two years you will have to take USMLE step I (united states medical licensing exam). The final two years are clinical clerkships, in which you are a student at a hospital and do different rotations (surgery, internal medicine, OBGYN, etc.). At the end of your third year you will have to take USMLE step II and clinical skills knowledge and assessment test. After these four years you receive your MD degree and start residency, which is further training but you will be completely responsible for your patients.

Hello,\n\nThe simple answer is "no."  To be honest, you can major in almost anything and still apply to medical schools.  However, most advisers would encourage you to take the following classes:\n\nCalculus 1 and 2\nBiology 1 and 2 (including the lab courses)\nChemistry 1 and 2 (including the lab courses)\nBiochemistry (including the lab course)\nOrganic Chemistry (including the lab course)\nPhysics 1 and 2 (including the lab course)\n\nI would stay away from any science class that is for "poets."  These are science classes for non-science major or premed students like "Chemistry and the environment" or "Everyday Physics."  :-)  \n\nThe list above includes most of the courses medical school look for when reviewing transcripts.  Make sure you speak with an adviser that works with students applying to medical school for up-to-date information.  Most medical schools require the MCAT, letters of recommendation, and an essay (or essays) as well.  Since medical school is very competitive, you demostrate that you can not only handle the work but excel.\n\nOne last thing, today's medical schools are seeking "well rounded" students so take other liberal arts classes and get out and get involved!\n\nGood luck,\n\nAl R.

I went through four years of pre-med and the best way I managed to do it was to use flash cards.  Maybe you can search Google for an online flash card program or something.  I maintained a 4.0 average using this method.  I also used it for two years of grad school in legal studies.  Good Luck.

Yep, all the advanced science you can take, AP classes in science and math especially so you can get the college credit. Also, get as far in math as possible. \n\nYou might also want to check into taking community college classes during the summer, to start earning college credit early. I know you don't have much time after all that, but you also could volunteer at the pound, humane society, or ASPCA and get a little hands-on experience. Good way to see if you really want to be a veterinarian, too. \n\nGood luck!

you must be good in biology, chemistry, and have good math skills. go to college for something like biomolecular studies, get degree. you will need to intern somewhere with your classes (school will help with that). if you do well with your internship they might ask you to work for them. otherwise, you have already made contacts through school and teachers and other students.

Pediatrics is a specialty for which you train AFTER medical school. It currently is not very competitive to get into. You don't have to do volunteer work for 4 years...I didn't volunteer one day. I was on the interview committee during med school, and volunteer or research was only interesting if you were sincere about it. It is getting more competitive to get into med school, so the higher your GPA and MCAT score the better. And be interesting. Good rule of thumb for the MCAT is to be in the "double digits" ie. at least 10 in each section. The only "unforgivable" score is Verbal Reasoning. You can have 15's in Bio and Phys Sci, and a 6 in VR and you'll never see the inside of a med school in this country. Your life in medicine is what YOU make it. I'm a surgery resident, and don't see my family much, true. But it's not forever and I spend quality time with them when I can. And I'm NOT bitter about my choice. During med school I got to travel alot...9 times in 4 years. Don't let anyone discourage you from going to med school. Just go with your eyes open, and gloves on ;-). Realize that you are going to see, touch, smell, and hear things that will make the average person faint. You'll learn to like it. You'll be covered in every bodily fluid imaginable. You'll get your first whiff of necrotic foot, or B.V. (ask a med student). You'll see people die...including kids. You should know these things before you start the journey. Yeah you'll have debt, but you'll be able to pay it off. If you want to volunteer, I suggest doing it in a County-type emergency department, like L.A. County or Cook County or Boston Medical Center. You'll see everything, and have a better idea of what you are getting yourself into...and whatever you do stop watching Grey's Anatomy now!! Good luck :-)

I assume you have already done a web search on "high school summer intern" and added some location geographic information (e.g. Boston or GA)\n\nYou should look into the Government Intern programs. We hired some high school students last summer. The problem is you should apply early. I know that one organization was talking about  extending their deadline until Mar 15. You might need to apply in Jan or Feb for some of there programs.\n\nThe USDA progam does not really apply but it may in two years and I thought it would have been cool job.

It's much easier to start with Vet Techs at Research Facilities on University Campus. Animal research these days is more about curing diseases and genetics, so there's no animal testing with products you'll have to worry about. But whatever the case, depending on the size of your university, you may be able to get an internship right there on campus. They are in great need of help. Try asking your Administration if there is, and if they can put you in contact with the Animal Resources dept. on your campus. They will be able to help you find an internship whether they have an opening for you or not. Hope that helps!

Well, it is very hard to get into a vet course and it is harder than a becoming a doctor.  The courses are very popular.  You are best taking Biology and Chemistry to go with it.  Maths is a good bet too!  Oh, and don't forget you need lots of animals experience to get in - thats what they look for!  So get a job in a kennels or a farm etc.  Good Luck!

You are senior and you have no idea where to look to get the answer to this question. I recommend start off by looking and the requirements needed to get a veterinarian degree.

I don't know any schools in your area but I have some info that might help.\n\nCheck the local hospitals as they might have a school there as well as the local technical colleges. \n\n Besides from the grades, you need a background in chemistry and anatomy.  So if you don't have those classes you should take them before you can even get into the program.  You also need to have experience in hospital setting and if that means volunteering at hospitals or old age homes, get out and do it.  The more you have the better they will look at you.\n\nIn my area, the wait list is about 2 years long to get into the program and you have to have prereqs done before you can even apply to get onto the wait list.  \n\nWhen you find the school you'd like to attend they should have a course guideline that will tell you the classes you need to finish your degree.\n\nHope this link helps.\n\nGood luck in your career change.

Here is what you need to do:\n\n1. Since you know what you want to complete, you can plan in reverse.  Hopefully just using their web site, you can look at what is required for the veterinarian degree.  The vet school won't expect you to do that, but check it out anyway.  Now check out the admissions requirements for the school.  My guess is you know which vet school you would like to attend, so get that specific!  Make a shopping list of the specific courses, GPA, and other credentials that they require for entry.  You might need to visit one of their admissions counselors, but it's possible that all of that information is available on their web site.\n\n2. Now you need an advisor... or maybe not.  An advisor will know how to look up how your courses transfer.  Again, do this in reverse, from the college to which your credits will transfer, THEN go to your CC advisor.  Some advisors think they are in sales instead of advising, so it's important that you get your destination information first and your entry point information last.  People closer to your destination will tend to trump the people closer to your starting point in terms of knowing what they are talking about.\n\n3.  If you can manage to get ALL of your information on the internet (prerequsiites; figure out an undergraduate major), then it is possible in some cases to use some online help to figure out transfer credit.  CAVEAT: the online site is a work-in-progress!  Again, your final destination will have the final say!\n\nThis is the site I find most useful for my area:\nhttps://miami.transfer.org/cas/menu.jsp?guest=1\nClick on "course equivalency guides" on the left sidebar.\nRead each line carefully.  It automatically loads as you click each selection.\nUsing the CAS site, you can determine what courses transfer.\nIn the past, more classes transfer than were listed, but the site is becoming more and more comprehensive.\n\nOne last thing: from time to time, requirements change!  Keep yourself updated on your goal location!  This is why I am not giving you a specific list.\n\nGood luck!

you have to include your school expierence, your highest level of education, that goes in first, then fill in what was that you most acquired in your school that relates to the job you are interested in. Then you should go into work expierence, any little work helps, just tweak the language so it sounds important. You have to make sure you include all awards or achievements that you have gotten within highshool, community service, any organizations you have joined.. etc.

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!
