French universities are MUCH more competitive then programs in the US to get into (you can get into bachelors programs in the US at community college level / for-profit schools etc with almost no reading / writing or math skills or even English language skills.

Seriously - if you want to be a vet in the EU it is CRAZY competitive. You simply have no chance to get in unless you have top Abitur scores.

Everyone saying you just need a high school degree to get into a vet school or anything else is dreaming. Many of the high schools themselves are tiered schools.

Indeed, so people don’t spend a ton of time teaching that which won’t stick no matter what.

It’s absolutely possible to tier-up if you are so inclined, but generally that involves a lot of work on your part.
