Choosing a major

Hi everyone I recently switched my major over from nursing to pre vet. My university's pre vet program includes a bachelors degree in agricultural sciences. (Not exactly what I imagined myself getting a degree in!) But I was wondering if it is better to get my bachelors in agricultural science or biology? And what sort of degree do most people who get accepted into vet school have?

I think there are a few threads on here about picking a major! There's some good info on this one:

It doesn't matter what you major in as long as you meet the prereqs for the school you are applying to. Now that I am in vet school, I wish I would have taken a better physiology class than the one I had in undergrad. When we had immunology, my classmates who had immuno in undergrad found it easier than I did - not having any background. Just remember that vet school classes are heavily based in science so you should prepare yourself for that the best way you see fit.
