Hi! I'm a rising senior (and new to this site so I apologize if I'm being annoying) and I would really love advice. I want to be a veterinarian, so I was planning on majoring in Animal Science (does it matter if I major in Zoology or Animal Science?) but my mom wants me to major in Biology to keep my options open. I was thinking of minoring in Spanish (would that make me a more interesting applicant to vet school?)
I know there are only a few vet schools in the country and I'm not sure which college I should go to for undergrad in order to get into vet school. Does it matter what school I go for undergrad or is it solely based on my GPA and volunteering? Would going to a school like Davis for undergrad increase my chances of getting into its graduate program? I live in California so I would love to stay here, or at least stay in the West Coast. What colleges would be best?
My GPA is fairly good (3.77 unweighted/4.45 weighted) and I got a 1550 on the 1600 scale. I am also taking 7 APs in my high school career and I got a 4, 5, and 5 on Biology, Calc BC, and Gov, respectively. However, I have 0 experience with animals (though I just applied to volunteer at a Wildlife Center) Would that affect my chances of getting into college as an Animal Science major?
Also, do you have any advice for me? Is there anything you wish you did when you were my age?
So sorry I had so many questions and thank you for your help!
