Which School?

Members don't see this ad.

I am planning on applying to UF, Purdue, and Mississippi vet schools this year. I would like to apply to a fourth school, but I cannot make up my mind which school would be best. Does anyone have any opinions/advice about Midwestern, Missouri, Pennsylvania, or Georgia Universities?
Thanks!

You should really post in the "What are my chances?" thread with stats, so we know a little more about you and can guide you a bit more. The only thing I will say is that if you're OOS for UGA and have average-ish stats, I wouldn't bother with UGA because they only take like 1 OOS person a year.

UGA's website says they took 13 OOS students for the class of 2017

Are those truly OOS students and not contract seats? I haven't looked recently but I know when I applied they only ever took like 2 people who were truly OOS.

ETA: Hmm, I guess they have been taking more. I swear I saw info in past years that had listed 1-3 OOS.

Maybe! I'm not sure since this was my first year applying so I couldn't say about previous years.
