Hi, I am currently applying to pharmacy school but something inside me keeps saying that I'm making the wrong decision. I love sciences so pharmacy would be OK for me but I absolutely LOVE biology more than chemistry which is why I'm considering going to veterinary school instead. I love animals and it breaks my heart to see them sick which is why I would love to become a vet and help the sick. My question is what do I have to do?
These are the classes I have done so far (at UTPA)
English 1301,1302, 2300
Bio w/lab 1401,1402
Gen Chem w/lab 1301/1101, 1302/1102
Microbiology w/lab 3401
Genetics w/lab 3413
Organic chem w/lab 2302/2102, 2303/2103
Political science 2313, 2314
Speech 1301
Physics 1401
Computer 1301
Econ 2301
History 2313, 2314
Calculus 1460
Stats 2330
Philosophy 2330
I am core complete at my University but what I don't understand is online the school I am thinking of attending (Texas A&M College Station) says that veterinary school is 8 years, 4 undergrad (I'm assuming) and 4 veterinary school. I took 2 years to finish my undergrad prereqs so what I don't understand is what do I do for the next 2 years before I can apply to veterinary school? Do I have to get a bachelors in biology before I can apply?
Also, are they any standardized tests that I need to take before I can apply?
Thank you for your time, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
