<p>I have a daughter who is interested in pre-vet. A while back she looked at acceptance rates for several vet colleges, and if I remember correctly, all had far higher rates of acceptance for in-state residents than for those with no residency claims. (Some states without vet colleges have arrangements with neighboring states that allow their residents to be treated as in-state.)</p>
<p>This doesn’t mean there will necessarily be a downside to doing undergrad. in another state, as long as you maintain residency, but if you think you will be trying to get into vet school in your home state, you should be looking carefully at what that vet school wants to see in your undergraduate program. Different vet schools have different math and science requirements, for example. Probably all require quite a few hours of volunteer work, paid work at vet clinics, job shadowing during high school and undergraduate years, but there may be specific requirements to keep in mind.</p>
