What's the veterinary program like at West Texas A&M?

I'm interested in the pre-vet track at West Texas A&M. A student review said: “The animal science professors are amazing. They have real-world experience.” Another said: “The facilities are good, but there's competition for internships.” I want to work with large animals, and the location seems good for that. For current students, how hard is it to get hands-on experience? Do you get to work with the university's livestock? Also, how competitive is the program for vet school applications?

The program is solid but you need to be proactive. The opportunities are there—the university has thousands of acres of research land, a working feedlot, and a veterinary teaching hospital in Canyon. But if you sit in your dorm and just go to class, you'll miss them. Join the pre-vet club. Get to know the animal science faculty. Ask to help with research. The students who do that get into vet school. The ones who don't struggle.
