<p>Lots of good advice here. Also remember that your statistical chance of getting into vet school is improved if you apply to the vet school in the state you are a RESIDENT of. In some cases (Tufts, Virginia Tech) the vet school “serves” two or more states. </p>
<p>I suppose it is possible that candidates who receive their undergraduate degree from a college in the same state the vet school is located in might receive a slight “bump” (for instance a graduate of Franklin & Marshall who is a legal resident of Rhode Island might have a slightly better chance of getting into Penn than an Ohio resident who graduated from Skidmore) but I don’t know that for a fact.</p>
