Veterinarians have come from all of the schools that your daughter is considering (by the way, William and Mary is a reach). The key, as collegehelp has noted, is for her to maintain a very good college GPA and score well on the GRE. She also could begin sooner rather than later to begin getting practical volunteer or paid experience working with a vet. My daughter is interested in becoming either a vet or a professor of biology and she knows she has a much better chance of ending up on the faculty at Swarthmore than as a practicing vet. Admissions don’t get much tougher than vet school.
