Also - I don’t know much about Animal Science, but I do know that my friends who are Animal Science majors are pre-vet… yea, I know - how many of those people are my friends? I guess I know about 6 of them! Not a very scientific survey :rolleyes:

From the Departments website:

The department is devoted to undergraduate and graduate teaching, research and extension/outreach that focuses mostly on the biology and management of domestic animals. Our faculty advise and offer a large, diverse curriculum to more than 500 undergraduate majors and about 45 graduate students. We cater to a broad range of student interests and vocational objectives, including major programs designed to prepare students for careers in veterinary medicine, dairy science and management, agribusiness and academic teaching and research. We are especially proud of the quality of our faculty advising and our ability to offer experiential opportunities for undergraduate research, teaching, and outreach, plus an incredible range of internships. Opportunities for hands-on experience with small and large animals are excellent. All faculty are accomplished researchers whose disciplines include animal genetics, nutrition, physiology, growth biology, and management systems. Research problems are studied at multiple levels ranging from molecular and cellular biology to the applied biology and management of herds and flocks. The department is strongly committed to public education through its outreach to animal producers and their supporting industries, and to the youth of New York state.



You should do you research before doing a 180 turn on your career decision based on a random message board.

Take a look at the Double Registration program on the above link - you can apply for early admission to Cornell Vet if you qualify…
