uc davis majoring in veterinary science?

i am trying to get in UC Davis, and i really want to major in veterinary science (since i was 4) and i was wondering, do they really care if you take AP history and get like a C in in the class? because i really hate history and i dont see why i have to take it at all. if im planning to major in veterinary science, does it matter if i do bad in history? because what i want to be has really nothing to do with history.

i actually wanted to replace the AP history class with AP biology, but the school wouldnt let me because AP history is a required course. i dont see why though, because if you’re planning to major in anything BUT history, why do you have to take it? its just a waste of my time.

i’m a sophomore at uc davis right and honestly those AP classes are a waste of time. not to say that you shouldn’t take them. they do help make your transcripts look good and will make you a better candidate.

AP classes help you earn units in college towards graduation but usually does not help towards earning the units/classes required for your major. each major has it’s own required classes and each class usually have Prereq. that you have to take…..the AP class comes in helpful because sometimes you can have that prereq class waived (if you scored well on your AP test…usually a 4/5). but i wouldn’t count on history to waived anything cuz chances are the Vet program won’t have any “HIstory” in it. You might want to be looking more into Chemistry and Biology classes. Even if you do score well on those AP test…say a 4/5…chances are the AP class will just waived you from taking the placement test (for chemistry/ bio)and just allow you to get into the class.

if i were you i wouldn’t stress too much about it. just do well in your classes right now and try to do some extracurriculer activities and do a good job on your personal statement and you should be able to get in.

keep in mind though, UC Davis is well known for its Vet. program so it might be harder to get into that major. however i think you should be fine. take whatever you feel will prepare you more.

Animal technology is going to be greater geared in direction of production animals (farm animals, pigs, goats, sheep). For the main area, an animal technology considerable is stable for people who pick to do ranch or farm-paintings besides as pre-vet pupils or pupils wanting to paintings in food protection. Horse classes are many times blanketed in animal technology departments yet many times there will be greater food animal classes than equine. dogs, cats and different companion or unique species are not stated very lots in animal technology classes.
