Yes, you are just as competitive on your application with a biology degree as anyone else with a pre-vet degree.

A Pre-Vet degree is useless unless you are accepted to vet school.

What can you do once you have your pre-vet degree?
Not much - either apply to and be accepted to vet school or keep working to finish out a secondary major.
