Every accredited vet school has a curriculum that will get you from point A to point B. Finances should be number one. I know I probably seem like a broken record to those of you that see me posting semi-regularly, but, really, if you got into one or more accredited schools I think that finances should be the deciding factor. If you happen to have two schools that are largely the same in cost (for tuition
and cost of living) then you can start considering things about where you would prefer to live, or what the curriculum is like. Regardless, you're going to get sick of PBL by the end of two years
All the hands on experience that Western touts is the same for most other schools at this point in time -- pretty sure I posted about that higher up in this thread.
