What Happens Next?

Once your application is submitted, it will undergo a comprehensive standardized review process, which is outlined below.

Application Review & Selection

Step 1 – Minimum requirements

Once we receive your application, we check to make sure you meet the minimum requirements for admission, which can be found here.

Step 2 – Independent faculty review

Your application will be independently evaluated by three CVM faculty members who are looking to make sure you meet the prerequisite course requirements, have the appropriate veterinary experience and demonstrate the leadership and dedication necessary to excel in vet school.

Step 3 – Admissions committee review

Applications approved by the independent review will be forwarded to the Admissions Committee for further consideration.

Step 4 – Checking references

The Admissions Committee will call and interview one or more of your references, asking a standardized set of questions.

Step 5 – Invitation for admission

Based on your academic credentials, the faculty file evaluations, and the interviews with references, the Admissions Committee then selects who will be extended an invitation to join our incoming class, along with a small number of alternate candidates.

The College of Veterinary Medicine does not conduct interviews as part of the admissions process.
