Question about college for a friend?

Question

Hello,I have a friend who wants to be a vet.She goes to a school for special needs students.This school is easier than public school.She hasn't had any challenging math or sciences.I understand that vet school involves a lot of math and science.I need your honest opinion.Do you think she will get into vet school?I have a gut feeling,but I need a second opinionPlease forgive me of any spelling or grammar mistakes.

Answer 1

If she goes to a school for special needs students, I assume that any diploma she gets will not be a real high school diploma, so going to college at all would be difficult.  If she can get beyond that, a veterinary assistant is a possibility.  Vet school, though, is among the most difficult types of school in the country to get into, so it doesn't sound likely to me that she would get in.

Answer 2

Vocational School may be an option for her.

Answer 3

Well, vet school comes after going to college. Is she in HS or university? If she is in high school, she should go to college and major in a science such as Biology or Chemistry. She should look up vet schools and what classes they require for admittance. The she should work hard on all her classes to achieve a high GPA and also have many activities/community service that would make her application stand out (such as working at a vet's office, volunteering at an animal shelter, having an internship at a zoo or something). Good luck! Vet schools are VERY competitive, but if she has the heart, she will end up somewhere she will like.  

Answer 4

Sorry, but I don't think there's a way she can become a veterinarian (as a doctor) without having taken biology first. She could find a way to become a veterinary assistant or something, but vet school might be hard for someone who hasn't taken science courses. However, as a special needs student, she would be able to take the SATs and other tests with benefits like extended time.
