<p>Veterinary school. That narrows it down. Much like medical school, your undergraduate college is not nearly as important as where you go for graduate school. Unless money is absolutely no object, going to your state flagship and majoring in Biology, Zoology or Animal Science (with a pre-veterinary emphasis) and saving money for graduate school is a good idea.</p>
<p>If you do not already have hands-on experience with livestock animals, it might be a good idea to pursue the idea of an Animal Science major (w/pre-veterinary emphasis). All veterinary students must study all of the animal classes in veterinary school, even if they want to specialize in dogs and cats. For students coming in with no large-animal experience it can be very intimidating to walk up to a 1,000-pound animal and attempt procedures.</p>
<p>If you already have lots of hands-on experience w/large animals, the Zoology major or Bio major would be fine. Btw, you do not have to do your undergraduate at a university with a veterinary school.</p>
<p>Which schools would be your in-state publics?</p>
