Hi there! I recommend you first research the schools you are interested in applying in the future and see what their prerequisites are. This way you can plan accordingly to make sure you take all the classes that are required. Some people only complete their prerequisite courses and apply to vet school. Others, like myself, completed an undergrad degree. My university didn’t offer all the classes required for my schools of choice so I had to take some online courses through a different school to be able to complete all required courses.
I do recommend you start saving money if you have not yet started doing so. Save as much as you possibly can. Vet school is very expensive.

And get as much on hands experience at a local vet clinic. Either by volunteering or working as a veterinary assistant or tech if your state doesn’t require a degree to be labeled a vet tech. Most schools require you have a certain amount of hours of experience before applying.

Talk to vets and vet techs. Soak as much info you can. Vet med is so much more than just getting into vet school and graduating. Try to get as much experience in different aspects of animal care before you apply to vet school.
