Thanks to both of you!

Well, I am still not sure if I will have money to pay for SATs and ACTs. It is just sooo expensive. In fact, I have checked Stanford’s financial aid program that I qualify for, it is very good…but I think that I might just have to go to community college because I am not going to be able to pay for most colleges even with the financial aid (including Stanford). I think that my plan is going to be:

2 years community college (GE/lower divisions)
2 years at UC Davis or 4 year school (upper divisions and other)
4-6 years at UC Davis Vet School
2-3 years of internships and additional training.

Yep, becoming a vet is probably going to take me 10-13 years.

P.S.- I am glad that I have found my passion: animals. I see many other teens try to do community service, they go from one to the other and it seems like they just do it for college, I don’t think that they enjoy doing it. I feel lucky to have found something that I love doing so MUCH!

Thanks for the response!
