Hi Addy,
Veterinarians need to have a good foundation in science and math. Study biology, chemistry, algebra, geometry, calculus. If you can, get involved in 4-H club.
Most veterinary schools require a 3.5 GPA or above.
I recommend taking a few business and financial planning classes. As well as psychology to better understand your clients. See it you can get a job at a veterinary hospital when you are in undergraduate school to be sure you really want to be a veterinarian.
Most importantly, do not go into debt to attend veterinary school. It is extremely difficult to pay off large high interest loans.
