What did you do to become a vet. I am looking to become one and I was wondering what you need to do in High School and what kind of College to go to?

I wanted to be a vet after school and got 2 A* 2 A's 5 B's and 3 C's (C or above in all of them) and also had got in to do A-levels in maths, physic, chemistry and biology (which is prefered to get into vet school) but at my interview they said my GCSE's weren't good enough and you need 7 A*'s-A's to have any chance BUT i found a loop hole ;) if you don't get good enough grades you can take the national diploma/extended diploma in animal care/horse care, then do the degree then vet nursing course (all at askham bryan or other animal colleges, i go to askham bryan) and eventually vet school. Good luck :)

Hi Competition to get into one of the 7 Universities in the UK that does the Veterinary degree is tough. You will need top grades throughout GCSE with core subjects of the sciences, maths, English etc. You will probably need to be predicted 3 A's at A Level to get interview with plenty of relevent experience with animals. If they like you at interview it is usually standard to provisionally be offered a place on obtaining 2 A's and a B in A level otherwise you'll need 3 A's. Subjects required at A level would typically be Biology, Chemistry and Physics or Maths, I wouldn't rely on the "loophole" suggested - it's a long way to probably still find you wouldn't be considered academic enough to get into vet school. Good luck. Best wishes HorseVet
