Is California Polytechnic State University- Pomona a good university for a student aspiring to become a vet?

I would probably major in animal sciences or something like that. Is this field of study at this University good or well-known to veterinary schools? Also what other universities would be good for someone who wants to go to vet school? I also am considering UC-Davis, but that is way farther than Cal Poly Pomona. What would you recommend?

Are you kidding? Cal Poly Pomona is one of the best universities in California for that major. UC Davis is probably the best in the country and therefore you’ll need a 4.2 and a 1500/1600 on your SATs to go there. If you can’t get into UCD, CPP is your next best bet. They’ve got great facilities including the world famous Kellogg Arabian Horse Center. In case you haven’t also heard, the W.K. Kellogg foundation just gifted $42 million dollars to the school, the largest such gift in the entire CSU system ever. You may also consider Cal Poly SLO, but only Pomona also offer a zoology option. Cal Poly emphasizes hands on learning, so you’ll get plenty of labs working with real animals, and you won’t be learning just from books. Visit their website and visit the school. Look for the Sunday horse show, conducted the first Sunday of most months and is conducted mostly by Cal Poly Pomona students. Good luck!!
