Question

what is a good college to go to before that because i know to be a veterinarian you must have 8 years of college

Answer 1

Cornell has an excellent veterinary program. Of course, there are quite a few things to consider when it comes to applying to veterinary school. Cornell is extremely competitive, especially if you are out of state. If you are from New York, that's great. If not, you may want to see if there is a veterinary school in your state, and if not, if there is a school that has a contract with your state for a certain number of seats. If you can manage to do your undergraduate education at the same institute you plan to attend for veterinary medicine, do it. That's what I did, and it was a great help. I am at Michigan State University, and I did my undergraduate degree here as well. It is easy to make sure you have all of the class requirements, and if you have questions about the application process the office is right on campus. If nothing else, make sure you go to a school with a strong science program. That way you can get all of the prerequisites and it will look good to the program you are applying to. A really good place for questions about this stuff is http://forums.studentdoctor.net . There are a lot of pre-veterinary students there, and vet students to help out. It's a message board, and it's got a pretty cohesive group of people. Good luck. It's very difficult to get into vet school, and a tough road once you are there, but it is totally worth it in the end!

Answer 2

If you are in the NY area, you can attend a Pre-Vet program at Binghamton University, or even many of the Community Colleges. Or you can go to school for a Vet Tech program, like SUNY Delhi and then transfer.

Answer 3

EIGHT years of college? Usualy it's four. Then veterinary medicine requires another four

How long does it take to become a Veterinarian?

It requires 4 years of college and an additional 4 years of veterinary medicine. Internship or residency credits are not required but are offered to achieve advanced qualification or specialty certification. The exception being that it was recently required that foreign graduates need additional veterinary medical residency credits. This is a debated subject.
