I've always loved animals, and science but i'm not really sure what going to veterinary school entails. I was wondering if anyone new if there are certain high school science classes that are required, what kind of college classes you would need tot take before getting into vet school and things like that.

Sadly, most public schools don't teach many classes that pertain to vet science. Mine teaches small animal care. My advice would be to take as many biology classes and anatomy classes as you can. When you choose the right college for you, it will be easier to see what classes you will need to take.
By the way, a school with an amazing veterinary program is Virginia Tech. ]
Well, I think.... (lol)
People aspiring to be vets need to be directly involved in Math and Biology during high school and specialize in University.
It's also a lot harder to get into vet school rather than medical college, and experience in dealing with animals and community service in say, an animal shelter would look good on the applications.
4 years of college are required followed by 4 years of veterinary medicine.
Jobs and the practice depends on your specialization, your choosing of a particular animal to treat or perhaps a general vet.
Courses required are usually described in detail in the college application necessities that you are applying to. Some require extra classes and courses that have to be taken prior to applying. Others depend solely on academically involved principles.
On the whole being a vet takes a lot of studying.
Research the whole field carefully before deciding what you would like to specialize in.
Good Luck.... (Blah bLAH, But I'm not really sure...^_^)(Sorry, my sad and bad sense of humor). ]
