Hi everyone! This is my first post and forums intimidate me so I will try to do this as best as I can.
I am currently a senior in high school and I am planning on majoring in biology while also fulfilling pre-vet requirements in college. One of my top choices for an undergrad school right now is Emmanuel College, a very small private school in Boston. I am worried that the small size with no animal science or zoology classes--and also little to no pre-vet advising--will hinder my pre-vet education and possibly my chances into vet school? My other top choice (though much farther away) is Ohio State University. That, of course, has so much to offer in regards to animal sciences because of its size and the fact that it is a vet school.
Will this really be a problem? Or does undergrad not matter as long as you have a great GPA, lots of hours with animal experience, etc. If I went to EC, would I basically have to find volunteering/shadowing through veterinarians around the city for experience?
Thanks in advance!
