I'd really love to go to Texas A&M's vet school, but I know its super hard to get into...
If I'm an undergrad there, will that improve my chances any?

Sometimes preliminary studies at affiliated branches of a school can give you an upper hand, but I think the best way to achieve your goals is to keep a high grade average, go beyond what's required of you scholastically, and keep good attendance and behavior records. Then when you apply to this particular school, your record should speak for itself. But even if you don't make it, don't give up. There are plenty of excellent veterinary colleges all over the United States.

No. Good grades in your math and science courses will get you in. You should try majoring in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, zoology ,or animal science. Also they recommend that you have a certain amount of volunteer hours at a vet clinic or animal shelter. So hopefully this helps.

It depends on your school and you should ask your university administrator or academic counselor. The grad school at my undergrad univerisity did not look favorably on its own applicants and don't give extra points because of it.

yes. it is usually easier to stay at the same school for several reasons, one- your letters of reference the professors will be well known to the program your choosen, second you know the campus and wont have trouble adjusting to. im doiing my grad school at the same place i got my undergrad-usc-social work.
