I want to become a vet, what do I have to study?

Question

Im going into my junior year of highschool and the subjects I chose are: English high level, history high level, mathematics standard level, and biology standard level.

My school also offers Chemistry and Physics in the Science department, but im really terrible at those two subjects. However, I can still change the subjects I chose if it would better my chance of becoming a vet.

And also, what should I study in college?

Answer 1

you should study these Mathematics standard level and Biology standard level.the other ones are optional but biology and mathematics are usually the ones you should choose from.but make biology as your main subject.from the subjects you have mentioned,biology is the closest subject you could get to be a veterinarian someday.

chemistry and physics aren't a complete necessity if you want to be a vet.it's not required to study.

in college...

study any course in the animal field like a major in biology,animal science,zoology and many others.choose what field you'd like to study.there are also sub-courses to choose from like marine biology.it depends on you what you want to get.but the most iportant course you should take is VETERINARY SCIENCE.this is the real course for vets.the other courses i've mentioned will only enhance your knowledge about animals.

you're taking the right path.i'm gald there are people out there who are actually curious about what course to take in school and not just saying "i want to be a vet" and yet not working hard to be one.i'm rooting for you!

best wishes!

Answer 2

I wanted to study to be a vet as well, however my scores were not enough. You definitely need Maths and Biology, Physics and Chemistry would help greatly - but don't make the same mistake i did and do them both if you really don't do well in them - that's what brought my score down
