Veterinary School

Pre-Med & Medical School Careers in Medicine
1

<p>I’m about to begin my undergrad career, and right now i’m pretty stuck between going premed and pre-vet. I would imagine that many of the requirements would overlap, and that it wouldn’t be too much of a problem for me to go through my freshman year undecided. However, i wanted to know if anybody knew some of the differences between the requirements that i should take into account when making my schedule.</p>

<p>As i understand it, the acceptance % nationwide is lower for vet school than med school. I would think this is due to the small number of veterinary schools in America. Are veterinary school applicants still less qualified than those applying to med school?</p>

<p>Also, will i have an advantage being a male? It seems veterinary schools generally have a much larger number of females than males.</p>

<p>The AAVMC site is good place to start: <a href=“http://aavmc.org/index.html[/url]”>http://aavmc.org/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Pre-vet students submit the GRE or MCAT, depending on the specific institution.</p>

<p>Pre-vet requirements are similar to pre-med requirements. Quoted below are the Oregon State University Vet School requirements.
