^While this advice is generally true for applicants to medical school, the vast majority of successful applicants to vet school have undergraduate majors in animal science, biology or biochemistry. While it is certainly possible to get into vet school with a nontraditional undergraduate major and the prerequisite science courses, it’s important to remember that vet schools have very specific requirements for undergraduate preparation and that they give significant weight to the depth and breadth of animal related work experience and/or research presented by a given applicant. A good animal science program will provide the opportunites for animal related work experience and research – a degree in economics won’t. Something to keep in mind.
