The ROI for vet school is worse than bad. Equine vet came to talk with my daughter’s pre-vet club and told them that they needed to decide if they wanted to own horses or take care of them because you can’t do both.
From what I can tell, vet schools are much more focused on the debt issue than they were 5-10 years ago. Talking about significance of debt burdens; limitations involved. Asking about funding plans for vet school. Trying to find more money for scholarships.
Definitely makes sense to work with vets in a field that interests you. See if you like what the day-to-day practice is. Can also get a good sense for income levels/lifestyle supported by it.
Some of the vet schools went away from requiring GRE/MCAT. Some wouldn’t even look at it last year. Not sure if that has continued going forward though.
