Hello Everyone!
Just curious...I know that most vet schools say it is okay to have a non-science degree, but does anyone know if not having a science degree hurts your chances? I graduated three years ago with a Bachelor's in Science in History Education. I chose history because I am naturally good at it and I thought that is what I wanted to do. Three years later (and older for that matter), I have completely changed my mind and now I really want to go to vet school. I have always loved animals (especially cats!) and I now want to give it a try. I don't think I was mature enough to decide this years ago. I am pretty good at most subjects (maybe not chem haha), but I graduated with my first degree at a 3.9 GPA. I have started to take the pre-reqs for vet school. I am currently in pre-calc right now and plan on taking chemistry/calculus next semester. Any thoughts? Should I go ahead and get a degree in science? I'm 25, so I am trying to get the pre-reqs done quickly. Wish I had decided this before!
Thanks for any input
