Not necessarily. In high school you need good enough grades to be accepted to a decent college - your local four-year college or a state university work just as well as a private university or one of the more prestigious institutions. This generally means an A/B average throughout high school.

Once in undergraduate college, however, you'll need to focus on having good grades (more A's than B's, very few C's) while completing a rather difficult series of pre-requisite courses before applying to vet school. A GPA of 3.5 or better is recommended. Once in vet school, though, C equals DVM - you don't need A's through vet school to become a veterinarian, although it helps to have a high GPA if you want to complete an internship or residency after vet school.
