Florida State University

In general, nursing is kind of competitive, but its still very manageable for those that are interested in this field. If you want to be a nurse, you would have to graduate from a school that is accredited in nursing, then pass the licensing exam. I can't find anything about UDC and accreditation in nursing at all, so I think that is probably a school that you should skip. If you want to go to school in DC, you should check out Georgetown and Howard University instead. Both of them are accredited in nursing. For University of Maryland, only the Baltimore campus is accredited in nursing. Johns Hopkins University is probably one of the best for nursing and its something you should look into as well. Other schools that you should look into: Arizona State, University of Arizona, University of Washington at Seattle, Auburn University, University of Alabama, UC Irvine, UCLA, University of San Diego, University of San Francisco, San Jose State, San Francisco State, CSU Long Beach, CSU LA, San Diego State, University of Colorado at Denver, University of Connecticut at Storrs, Universtiy of Delaware at Newark, Florida State, University of Florida, University of Miami in Florida, Emroy University, DePaul University, University of Illinois at Chicago, Purdue University, University of Iowa, University of Louisville, Louisiana State, Boston College, Northeastern University, Michigan State, University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus, University of Mississippi, University of Missouri in Columbia, the one in St Louis, and the one in Kansas City, SUNY Binghampton, New York University, Columbia University, University at Buffalo - The State University of New York, Duke University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Ohio State, University of Cincinnati, UPenn, Temple University, University of Pittsburgh (i heard this one is very good) Villanova University, Clemson University, University of South Carolina, Texas A&M (the college station, TX campus), Texas Tech, University of Texas at Austin, and Gonzaga University I would recommend that you apply to as many of these as possible. Applying to more only helps you, especially when nursing is such a popular field. You can also use this list as guidance. Even though these are graduate programs (MSN) many of them have undergrad programs as well: http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-nursing-schools/rankings/

You wouldn't really study exotic animals until you reach veterinary school, unless you majored in zoology and had the ability to do some research as an undergrad. So any Florida university that offers the necessary biology and chemistry prerequisities for veterinary school would be fine. Florida and Florida State are the best state universities and the ones to aim for if you can get in.

The only universities I consider good are University of Florida, University of Miami and Florida State University. In addition to these universities, I have heard really good things about The New College of Florida which is a liberal arts college. Some people might include schoolslike the University of Central Florida or the University of South Florida. You can certainly get a good education at these two schools -- but they don't really compare to the first four. Florida doesn't rank very high on my list of states with great universities. But there are a few good ones.

Jacob.

You can try contacting or e-mail these colleges/universities as soon as possible. Jacob I wish you the very best of everything. Stay encourage. Be strong-willed. Keep making the right choices in your life. Don't let anyone turn you away from your dreams/goals. Jacob DSW
