Good Safety Schools?
Hey all! I am a rising senior and plan on going into a pre-veterinary track (animal science/biology) and possibly double majoring in business. I have been struggling to find good safety schools that are still somewhat selective and well-reputed but would act as safety schools. I have an overall UW GPA of 3.9, but my SAT is kind of low and I am probably going to retake it to get above a 1300. Does anyone have any good safety recommendations for these stats plus my majors?
hi! i am also wanting to do animal science. the great thing about california is that most schools dont require SAT/ACT. great schools are UC Davis, UC Merced, SDSU, UCSD, UCSB, UCI, and Cal Poly SLO. the best safety school out of that list is definitely Merced.
omg i literally love cal poly and it was one of the main schools i wanted to go to before i got scared and gave up 😭😭😭 i will definitely look into the others though 🫶
Maybe University of Delaware? You'll have to work on your SATs quite a bit if they're under 1300 but they have a BS in Pre-veterinary medicine. University of Arizona and Michigan State could also be some more semi-competitive schools.
thanks so much! i will look into these 🫶
