Science classes would be a good start. I was going to be a vet when I first started college and the pre-vet courses included a lot of science classes like biology, microbiology, zoology, etc.

Take as much science classes as you can. Try to take honors or advanced classes, that way when you take them in college they'll be easier.
Another thing you can do in high school is try to get some veterinary experience. Depending on how old you are, this might be just shadowing a local vet around. If you can get a paying job with one that would be great too. A veterinary recommendation is required to get into vet school, so the earlier you start the better.
Also, start trying to volunteer at the zoo, or animal shelter, or a wildlife rehabilitation center. Anything that'll get you other animal experience because they ask about that too. It also looks good that you were involved in the community.

Start working for a Vet now -- even if it is volunteer work.
Take Math & Science and get As.
There are only 28 Vet schools in the country. They have residency requirements -- so there are only one or two schools that you can possibly apply to. Getting into Vet school is harder (way harder) than getting into medical school.
In order to get into Vet school, you will need to get as good an undergraduate degree as you can. Go to the best school you can get into -- get straight As.
Have a back-up plan. I actually know people who went to medical school because they couldn't get into Vet school.

ok, so you want to become a vet. depends on your grades and the clubs and activities you've done in high school. so depending on all that ...you should just fill out applications everywhere you can. but for me to really answer this question. I need to know your grades and GPA basically. Actually before you start filling out applications because they cost money at university's call them up! hope i helped you! good luck!
