And to any student, I say this: don’t even think about dropping out of school. Dropping out is quitting on yourself, it’s quitting on your country, and it is not an option – not anymore. Not when our high school dropout rate has tripled in the past thirty years. Not when high school dropouts earn about half as much as college graduates. ~President Barack Obama

Is it true that there are only 21 colleges that offer a vet medicine program in America?

If so does that make it harder to get into those select schools? Also, what are those schools?

# of Thumbs Up Received (77)		 Vet schools are highly selective, and you have to have VERY high GPA's in math and science as an undergraduate to get in. Typically, the vet schools take a small number of students every fall - around 20 or so - and that's it, so only the top applicants get accepted. If you're interested in becoming a vet, talk to your family's vet about the schooling, and check out one of the vet schools online. If there's one nearby (Michigan State has one, if you're here in Michigan), schedule an informational interview with the admissions counselor to find out more. Good luck!

# of Thumbs Up Received (76)		 Well, there are actually 32 according to the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges. I encourage you to check out their website: www.aavmc.org/.

Also, any programs with limited spots are going to be harder to get into, but that just means more hard work. It does not make it impossible. Good luck to you!
