It really depends on how you quantify "best." If you are going on school ranking then the best college for veterinary studies is University of Illinois - Urbana - Champaign which is ranked 47th by U.S. News. Here's the rest of that same list http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/national-universities-rankings/majors+51.1104 Blessings

UC Davis

There are very few vet schools in the US, they are all excellent, and they all take about 3% of applicants. You'd be lucky to get into any of them, but Tufts, Cornell, UPenn, UC Davis, and Texas A&M are excellent.

There are only 28 vet schools in the US. Asking this question will get you 28 different answers. Everyone thinks that there local vet school is great and therefore the best. Well, you know what? That's true. College experts can go around ranking vet schools all they want. But, the fact is that there is very little bias in the profession based on where a person went to school. All 28 programs are extremely difficult to get into and you would be privileged to go to any one of them. The fact is that it's not necessarily your choice which school you get to go to. Most of the 28 vet schools have a certain number of seats set aside for in-state applicants. If this is an option in your state, then you should go there. First of all it's cheaper, and second of all it's easier to get accepted (in most cases). But, if you find yourself in a state without a vet school or you want to try to increase your chances by applying to multiple programs. Then you will need to do some research and find out which schools accept a large number of out of state students. Many people think UC Davis is the best vet school in the country. However, with over 500 out of state applicants they accept less than 10. So, don't waste your time figuring out the "best vet school". Instead spend your time figuring out which schools you actually have a shot at. You can do your undergraduate work at any 4 year school. So, don't choose your undergrad school thinking you'll have a better shot at getting into vet school. It doesn't work like that.
