Prater said only 15 to 20 percent of pre-vet students meet the requirements to go on to veterinary school and he’s proud of the hard work these students have put in.
“I cannot put into words how proud I am of all of our veterinary college students that have graduated from MSU. I understand the road that they have taken because I walked that same road four decades ago and I completely understand what sacrifices they have made to achieve this goal,” Prater said. “To have a year where we had eight students apply and all eight were accepted is a testament to the sheer will power of these students. I am honored and humbled to be a small part of their training and thank all my colleagues in the MSU community for their outstanding level of instruction they provide for our vet science students.”
Prater added the past two years have seen a high rate of veterinary school acceptance from MSU. Last year, 18 students applied to veterinary schools and 16 were accepted.
