Also, not sure about the OOS admit rates, but Cal Poly San Luis Obsipo (Cal Poly SLO) for sure. Possibly Cal Poly Pomona although I haven't checked that one out, and SLO is a nicer place to be.

One of my regrets is not following a path like this (I didn't know anything when I was a teen, though). One of my minor bummers as a mom is none of my kids are interested in this.


Same same same - how I wish I could go back in time and major in animal science.

Cansius in Buffalo has an interesting animal program: https://www.canisius.edu/academics/programs/undergraduate/animal-behavior-ecology-conservation

If your kid is interested in animal sheltering, Arizona State is doing groundbreaking research: https://psychology.asu.edu/research/labs/canine-science-collaboratory

Barnard has the Dog Cognition Lab: https://dogcognition.weebly.com/

Rutgers. Very good program and also has a farm.
This is basically the stage school of NJ. Very respected. I know someone that did their program and now is at EPA.

U of Vermont (UVM) has an excellent environmental science department, and gives good merit aid to OOS students. Not sure about the animal sciences part.

Ohio Wesleyan University. If she’s a strong student she could get great merit aid there.

My daughter's current list of schools to apply to are:

Eckerd
Bucknell
Delaware Valley
Purdue

Any others to add to the list for her? Not a 4.0 student but a decent GPA.
