Would I be A GOOD vet?

Question

I like sciences,,,,,,,maths,,,,,,,calculus........ just curious if I would be a good vet. I would like to know how to cure them. I dont love going outside and playing the ball with dogs, thats not me,but I think I like animals. I have had fish,,,chickens,,,,,,guiney pigs,,,,,,rabbits,,,,,,,dogs,,,frogs,,,,... of them in my house in the city. I used to feed them in their cages. I feel sad when I see a sick dog in the street or without an owner. I mean not all doctors love talking to people all time, right? and I like helping. Thanks

You sound like you are still pretty young.  My guess is that you have a while before you have to make any decisions.

You should know that there are only 28 Vet schools in the US and they are all very good and they are all very hard to get into.  It is harder to become a Vet thanit is to become a medical doctor.

In order to become a Vet, you will have to get a BS in a related field and then go to Vet school for four years to get your doctorate.  It would be wise to volunteer or work for a Vet while in High School and College.  You also have to get very high grades (almost straight As) and high test scores.

Good luck.
