Wow - congrats!! I've been thinking about going that route - I still have about 2 years before I'll be ready to apply to any vet schools, but I'll have to pick your brain sometime, if you don't mind  

Feel free to ask any questions you may have! The application process can seem kind of overwhelming sometimes so it is definitely nice to pick someone else's brain when you can!

Llandry ill definitely send you a PM!

I am hoping to go to a college with a good vet school. Any recommendations? I was thinking Rutgers, but it's so big...

Unfortunately in New Jersey we don't have a vet school yet!

You don't have to do your undergrad at a school that has a veterinary medicine program though. Instead I suggest choosing a school which has a strong science program and go from there. You can choose which vet schools you would like to apply when you are nearing the end of your four years in undergrad. Just make sure you take all the necessary pre requisite courses! Most pre vet majors have you take these pre reqs anyways.

If you want to do your pre vet program at the same place as vet school, you should look at U Penn, Tufts, Cornell, ect... Rutgers has a great animal science program but not a vet school.

Njchix- i can't remember when the girls i got from you were hatched. Mid Nov? I'm trying to figure out an ETA for eggs

What do you think, mid May? Lorraine has officially become the largest of my chickens. She the biggest and by far the most nervous.

It is crazy weather out. In hiding in the coop. Im getting pelted with hard styrofoam ice balls. And do you think this is their favorite nest box?

Nice assortment of eggs!

I didn't know that about Rutgers. Cornell seems great, but it seems so hard to get in!

What are some of these classes? I dont get a choice at my school. It's a specialized school for marine science, environmental science, and technology, so we have specific courses. We still get twice the science and math as normal schools though.
