The College of Veterinary Medicine uses selective admission procedures. Criteria for admission are determined by an Admissions Committee. Applicants are evaluated on academic profiles and certain non-cognitive factors including motivation, character, communication and interpersonal skills, personality, leadership ability, animal exposure, and knowledge of the profession. Please see criteria list below, however, specific requirements may change annually. It is the candidate's responsibility to know and comply with the correct procedures and guidelines for admission.

- Minimum GRE of 1000 (verbal, quantitative, and analytical sections combined) or minimum MCAT of 24, O-T
- Three personal references (two must be from veterinarians)

*Prerequisite Courses
The College of Veterinary Medicine does not recommend any specific pre-professional or undergraduate degree program.
