Hello. I graduated from UC Berkeley majoring in History. My original goal all up until college was to attend veterinary school however, the sciences scared me a LOT and I wasn't so great at them. Now however, I realize I need to face my fears. Animal welfare/health is my life and passion and I realize that I most likely cannot make a difference within the lives of animals by being a lawyer. So, I'm beginning to research vet school pre-reqs.
From what I have seen so far it seems as if I can take general science pre-reqs such as chem 1A,B,C and Bio 1A,B,C etc all from a community college and then after that I would need to transfer to a state university to complete some upper division courses, is this correct? I do not have any college science under my belt. And all of this should take about two years?
If anyone could give me advice as to how to begin this search I'd really appreciate it. I have also been seeing that many different vet schools require different pre-reqs, so what is the best way to go about chosing classes? Since vet school is so competitive I would like to apply to most of them however, since there are so many different requirements from all the schools it seems I can only chose a few that coincide with each other. Is that correct?
I appreciate any advice...May my research continue =)
