I'm new to the forum *waves* and I just started university.
Three students from my high school are doing a Pre-Vet program. I didn't like the university that offered it, so I decided to get my pre-requisits at another university. I think I'm going to major in Biology and minor in Chemistry, but only time will tell.
When I started asking whether or not it was beneficial to do a pre-vet program, everyone wanted me to do it, because, in this case, I would get "hands on experience with large animals" and that the nearest vet school (UPEI) accepts more people from this program than from the province. Once I decided the latter, a lot of people said that I was probably better of.
I was on a Livejournal community when the question came up... I read the responses and everyone said that you are better off getting your bachelor of science. Someone said that they had majored in Biology, minored in theatre and still got accepted into vet school.
Anyway... what I'm basically wondering is... how many of you are doing the pre-vet program and how many of you are not? Why?
