Oh, that is really low. Have you talked to the school and shared your concern and asked what, if any, things they’re putting in place to improve scores? Continuously low scores means they risk their accreditation so it’s something they should be taking seriously.
I think ultimately this is gonna come down to what you really want, need, and value in a school and it’s probably not something we on SDN can help you make a decision on. I’m a straight white cisgender female, so I wouldn’t even pretend to know how strongly you need to emphasize having racial diversity in your peers and educators. I went to Oklahoma state from 2011-2015 and enjoyed my time at the school, but there’s very little racial diversity at the vet school. Nearly everyone is white. We had some pre-clinical professors and TAs from India and other Asian countries and I think they have a couple Brazilian clinicians now. I feel like everyone at the vet school are welcoming and friendly, but my class had two students of Asian heritage (so like 97% Caucasian students) and I can only think of only two African American students in the entire school during my time there, one in the class below me and one who was a Ross student who joined the class above me for clinics. They seemed happy and fit in just fine with their classes, but I would never presume to know what their experience was truly like.
