Help me choose schools to apply to

I want to go into large animal, specifically small ruminant medicine while also having a well rounded understanding of small animal species as well, since I envision my practice later in life being mixed animal with an emphasis on livestock. Davis is my in state school so I will definitely be applying there. I would love some input on some other schools, specifically on how their large animal programs are. I’m looking at:

WSU and Mizzou: both very attractive options because of the ability to declare residency. Not too clear on how their large animal programs compare to other schools.

Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa: on the pricier side (with the exception of Iowa, which isn’t bad cost-wise). I feel that all of these have strong large animal programs, correct me if I’m wrong.

Edinburgh: the only international school I’m looking at

Utah and Arizona: both newer programs so would love to hear from anyone who is going there/applying there

Oregon state: probably the lowest on my list right now. Would love to hear if there’s reasons it should be higher in my list.

Thank you so much, I appreciate any and all help!

Tufts First Year Schedule + Routine

Hi! I am extremely excited to join Tufts V30 class in August!! I was wondering if any current students under the new curriculum could share what their schedule and routines are like/ any advice for incoming students.

I want to start shifting my daily routines to best accommodate school. I know this is highly individual and often changes, but any and all info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Embroidering School on Scrubs?

My school requires us to have two pairs of scrubs and overalls/bibs with our name embroidered on them. There is also the option for the school to be embroidered on them as well.

Is there a preference or trend in what people get embroidered? Also potential pros and cons? Is it weird to wear scrubs with your school on them when you’re not in school?

UPDATE: I am going to stick to just embroidering my name on my scrubs/overalls/bibs. I thrifted everything I need so far and am going to try to embroider my name on them myself :)

Is it possible to become a vet tech while in my undergrad?

Im currently in my 2nd year in undergrad as an animal sciences major. Im currently working at a clinic as a vet technician aid, where I’ll be able to move up as a veterinary assistant.

I wanted to know if it was possible to become a veterinary technician or a licensed one while im in my undergrad.

But I dont know where to start.

I feel like it would strengthen my vet school application and most importantly gain more experience and understanding.

I want a new piercing but I’m in vet school, any tips?

I’m going into second year and this year we always had to take out piercings before labs and any live animal activity which is completely understandable as to why but I really want to get a new piercing especially before becoming an actual vet. Does anyone have advice? It’s an industrial piercing which I’d be looking to get next week after my placement.
