Veterinarians do their best to help animals, and keep them healthy. I want to do something worth worthwhile during my life. Since I have always loved animals, a career in the animal sciences as a veterinarian seems to be the perfect choice. Some people ask why I would rather deal with animals than with people. People are easy to help. Animals can't tell you where it hurts, and there is the challenge.
The challenge starts early when becoming a veterinarian. One of the most helpful steps to becoming a veterinarian is to take the right courses while in high school. Courses in mathematics, computer programming, chemistry, biology, physics, and other sciences are useful (Swope 32). Other important courses comprise of courses in the English language, business--record keeping--, healthcare sciences, life sciences, and a second language (Career: Veterinarians).
Veterinary schools require a minimum of two years of college in a pre-professional program of study for admission. (Swope 33) So, when choosing a college, look for one with a pre-veterinary medical program. Try to take courses in biological and physical sciences, social sciences, and courses that will build and enhance communication skills. (Swope. 33) Most state universities have a program specifically designed/arranged to meet the requirements of veterinary schools. (Swope. 33).
For students who are still unsure they will be accepted to a school of veterinary medicine, go beyond the minimum requirements for entry. According to Robert Swope, author of Opportunities in Veterinary Medicine Careers, other helpful courses include sciences, humanities, social studies, business, psychology, economic, the arts, and literature. (Swope 33).
Well-rounded students are more likely to get into veterinary schools. However, of all applicants, ordinarily only one-third (1/3) are accepted. Of that number approximately 90% are female ("Today's Veterinarian").
