Law Schools Nearby Vet Schools? Forum

Penn State does not have a vet school, fwiw. The only vet school in PA is at UPenn.

Oh I could've sworn PSU had one at Milton Hershey, but i think you're right now that I've looked online.

Nvm OP. I hope you crush the LSAT and your SO crushes whatever test she has to take and you can get into some great schools. Good luck!

Hershey is the med school for PSU, no vet school (source: I am a 3rd generation PSU alum, brother attended PSU Med at Hershey)

Isn't vet school pretty hard to get into? I think with law school it's much more important which one you go to because too many people go to law school.

I know it's their med school. I just thought they had a vet school there as well.

I've heard that vet school is the most competitive graduate school to get into.. I can't confirm the truth of that statement, but was told is off-hand by a med student... much more difficult than the average LS

To those wondering about the difficulty of vet school, it is very difficult to get into, much harder than your average law school anyway.

There are much fewer of them than other kinds of graduate schools, for one.

On the bright side, it does not really matter where you go as a vet (though certain programs have different specialties).

I'm guessing that law school is much more restrictive than vet school in where you can practice, though I'm not sure of this exactly. I asked about it earlier in the post (about whether a law school will sort of lock me into a region or not).


And thanks for the list - that is very helpful!

LS is very regional (especially outside of the T14), but there are fairly common anecdotal stories of LS students moving outside of their region and securing work (though, I certainly wouldn't count on it - hence the anecdotal part). You can check of LawSchoolTransparencies (LSTscorereports.com) to get a feel for the area each school typically places the most students in.

That's not counting the part where many Bar exams are very state specific, though I hear more are going multi-state as time goes on - but, even a multi-state bar would limit you to certain states, unless if you enjoy prepping for the bar and want to take multiple tests

I'll definitely follow up with that link, thanks!

I don't think it is inevitable that I will want to work someplace different from where I go to law school, but it's the most probable scenario...So I guess anecdotes are better than nothing!

This is false. Nothing might save your 150k and 3 years of stress.

Well I might have financial aid...

All I meant is that anecdotes point to the possibility of getting a job somewhere besides my law school's region. And if that is what I want to do, then it is good to know some people (if the minority) have done so.

But I agree that it is certainly the riskier option.

Texas for law, Texas A&M for vet school (about a hundred miles between the two).

I was considering UT Austin for law and Texas A&M for vet, but they are almost two hours away from each other. Even if we compromised and lived somewhere in the middle, that's a pretty long commute every day...

And I'm pretty sure A&M is the only vet school in Texas on top of that.

Oowffffffff. As someone who grew up in Eastern Washington and knows several people who went to Gonzaga law and one who went to Moscow for law school, don't do it man! WSU vet school is great, but you don't have great outcomes waiting for you at any Eastern Washington Northern Idaho law school. Just...tread carefully.
