(Please help) I wish to become a vet, how do I?

Question

I'm a sophmore in highschool, and i really want to be a vet. So i was wondering what classes i should continue taking throughout my highschool years.

This year i am taking biology and chemistry.

(My school runs on block schedule, so i take a total of 4 classes each term, equalling a total of 8 classes a year.)

Do you know of any class I should take in highschool?

and is it bad (or does it matter) that I am NOT in honors english or honors history?

Answer 1

i think that you should take animal science, science, and marine biology just for the extra knowledge you may need. i dont think that it is bad that you are not in honors english or history so you dont have to worry about that. you might want to think about writing a little more so you can make sure you write down the right things when you have your paitient there. it also might be helpful for you to take a math class

Answer 2

I have a degree in animal science although I am not a vet now (I'm anthropologist - yes, another direction totally).  I would suggest to continue on with your biology and chemistry classes as they will be very helpful when you get to college.  Math would also be very good. If you have an ag program at your high school, I would highly suggest that you take some ag classes.  The honors classes would be helpful with getting into a good college, not necessarily getting into a vet school.  Your first focus right now should be getting into a good undergrad program and then taking the needed classes and obtaining good grades.  The vet programs that you apply to are generally going to focus on your undergrad studies and not your HS classes, but your classes in high school will help you greatly when you get into college.  If you have an FFA program at your HS, I would also suggest getting involved in that as you can join teams and learn more about the field that you want to go into.  Helping out at a local animal shelter will also look good on your applications.
