NCSU vs Cornell
Hello! I'm starting to try and narrow down schools and I'm currently specifically comparing NCSU and Cornell, and for context, I have specific interests in exotics/wildlife and infectious disease/public health. I know it's common to go to the cheapest school, but in both schools, there's a way for each one to be cheaper than the other, so I'm less looking at cost and more at other factors. Thoughts?

Veterinary Schools strong in Exotic/Zoo/Wildlife and Infectious Diseases
Hi everyone! I applied to veterinary school this cycle, and while I'm waiting to interview and hear back from a few schools, I've been accepted into some and am trying to figure out how to make a decision when the time comes.
Since most of these schools are great and I like the teaching formats, I'm looking more specifically at opportunities in interests I have. While it's a bit vague right now and I'm sure ill narrow it down in time, I specifically am interested in exotics/wildlife, zoo...

Third time's the charm? WAMC C/o 2029
26 y/o F, non-traditional, LA resident
My primary interests are exotic companion animals and wildlife with special focus on infectious diseases. I spoke about how I love that I can practice clinically but then do research down the line as I really enjoy both. I mentioned a lot my interests in the ideas behind One Health and hoping to contribute to that mission. I think that's the only reason K-State didn't outright reject me.
Applied: LSU, UMN, tOSU (rejected all 3), K-State...

Infectious Disease? This Thread is For You
ID is probably the most under the radar speciality in medicine. It took a global pandemic for anyone to know we even existed. I’m writing this thread not because I feel some sort of ego shame that my speciality is considered undesirable or non-competitive. People don’t want to go into ID. That’s fine. I know ID is not paid well relevant to other medical specialities. However, even considering that big factor, it still really baffles me why my speciality is as unpopular as the NRMP match data...

Is it a bad idea to specialize in ID if I'm immunocompromised?
I'm an MSTP student near the end of my PhD and am thinking about medical specialties, right now I'm considering pathology or IM --> hem/onc. But after some recent talks that have sparked my interest, I am beginning to wonder if Infectious Disease could also be a good fit for me. The only issue is that I myself am immunocompromised (common variable immunodeficiency.) My symptoms are not super bad and I recently started treatment for it, but I still wonder if it's a bad idea to deliberately...
