Hi Everyone,
I'm a bit of non traditional pre-vet student. I graduated 2 years ago, worked for a great company, and have now quit to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian.
I'm trying to decide where to take a my prerequisites and would appreciate any advice. I have about 9 total: Chem 1 & 2, Physics 1 & 2, Ochem 1 & 2, Biochem, Microbio, and Animal Nutrition.
I called UC Davis they don't seem to care at all if you take your prereqs at a community college, except for the ones specified. I also called Texas A&M and they basically told me it didn't matter where I took these courses either because my "rigor" points are allocated to where you took the majority of your undergraduate coursework which would be at Cornell. I'm not sure what CSU's position is on it, but would appreciate some input. Those are my top 3 schools.
Currently, I'm a California resident, but planning to move to Texas over the summer. Right now, I can take them at UCLA extension or Santa Monica College ( a community college). The plan is to spend the Spring still in Los Angeles, and then move to Austin, TX to establish residency, and apply to Texas A&M. Once in TX, I pretty much have to take them at community college, because taking them at UT for out of state tuition is something like $25,000 a semester.
My GPA is not stellar 3.34 and I'm going to need to really rock it with this post bacc, but I'm not sure if taking them at UCLA extension is worth the additional cost. Any input would be of huge help!
