Should I major in Biology, Chemistry, or double major in both?

I want to be a veterinarian. I understand what I major in doesn't matter, as long as I meet the pre-requisites required for veterinary school. However, I would like to know which is recommended or what some current/retired veterinarians majored in. #college #veterinarian #veterinary-medicine

You can find stats on what current veterinary students have majored in prior to admission at most veterinary school websites (see below for UC Davis class of 2019 and 2020). Most will be biological-type sciences. In regards to double-majoring, it doesn't give you any advantage if you do, so only do it if you really like both.

Undergraduate Majors: Animal-Related Sciences (46), Biological Sciences (71),Chemistry/Physics/Other Sciences (7), Humanities/Social Sciences/Other (16)
