She said the "dynamic" is very different there, especially if you've never lived there other than like on vacation or something. people there are not neccesarily racist, but they are less understanding toward other cultures. Also, there is alot of people that come off as snobs that really aren't, but the impression i got was that they are generally pretty shallow and some what intolerant. I would not want to go to college there. My cousin went to school in CO for one year, and then transferred out to NYU.

]]> Comment on What college has the best undergrad program for getting into vet school? by LadyRoo http://www.university-guide.net/what-college-has-the-best-undergrad-program-for-getting-into-vet-school/948/#comment-1414 LadyRoo Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:19:57 +0000 http://www.university-guide.net/what-college-has-the-best-undergrad-program-for-getting-into-vet-school/948/#comment-1414 Like all school admissions, doing very well at a good school with a strong academic reputation is more important than going to one specific school over another. Go to a school that's a good fit for *you*--where you'll be happy, successful, financially salvageable (remember, vet school costs $$$ too), and have as many opportunities as possible (and if you're sure about vet school, perhaps consider potential volunteer opportunities at each college). Also, vet school admissions isn't very standardized (e.g. unlike med school, where all schools require essentially the same classes)...it can be a good idea to contact the schools you are most interested in and to find out their required classes and volunteer hour ranges (some vet schools require a LOT of hours, and with different ranges...large animal vs small, etc). Since there can be a very wide range, the sooner you have a rough idea of what classes you'll need to take the better. Oh, and remember to be as well researched and professional when you talk to these schools--even just for basic info--because every impression counts when it comes to admissions. :) Like all school admissions, doing very well at a good school with a strong academic reputation is more important than going to one specific school over another.

If you're looking in the Mid-West area, definitely consider Michigan State as an undergrad option. Good Luck!

In fact, at NCSU, you don't have to get your four year to apply to vet school, you just have to have all the prerequisites, which means less time. Good luck!

My high school one must be around somewhere because I never threw it out but I have not seen it for like 25 years. Just like you should not buy a high school class ring unless that is going to be your highest level of education. Also, it is considered really lame to wear any high school jackets, sweaters, hoodies, etc. when you get to college. Those things you put away to never wear again.
