Chemistry, biology, and math. If he's not good at these, suggest he become a vet technician.
Actually, it's a smart move for him to start by becoming a vet technician so he can work part-time. He will need to take pre-med classes as a first step toward becoming a fully qualified veterinarian.

He should take college prep courses and be consistent in getting good grades. In terms of getting into college, he should be well rounded--perhaps sports or extra-curricular activities and equally as important, community service. Colleges like to see its applicants feel a civic responsiblity to give back to the community. He could volunteer at an animal shelter? That would also give him more insight into his likes/dislikes of working with animals and give him experience as well.
My classmates that went onto vet school mostly majored in Animal Science. (Rutgers University in NJ has a very good animal science program)

He would need at least two scientific A-Levels, one of which should be in Biology. The other A-Level should be a traditionally "good" one, (such as English, Maths or History) if he wants to go to a good uni.

A regular college bound course in high school, probably a declaration of a Biology major in college.

He needs A grades in A-Levels such as Biology, Chemistry, Maths and any other subject.
As long as he is taking mainly science subjects, he's all set.

Veterinary medical school is very tough to get into, just like medical school. He needs to have done VERY well in school since day one (all A's) and excel in math and science. Otherwise, no school will accept him. It is actually easier to get into dental school than veterinary medicine. One tough field, but after all, it is medicine.

Some uni's have online prospectuses so why not check them out and they'll say about grades and subjects needed
2006-09-13 12:56:51 · answer #8 · answered by kookie_chick 2 · 0⤊ 0⤋
He will need 3 A-levels: Chemistry and Biology and one other academic subject (preferably a science subject) at A-level.
Here should help too:
