WHAT ARE MY CHANCES OF GETTING INTO VETERINARY SCHOOL?
There are more veterinary school applicants than ever before, but also more seats available than ever before.
More people are applying to veterinary school than ever before with a record 10,000 plus applications per cycle. But this increase in applications is also met with an increase in more seats available than ever before, with more on the way due to new veterinary schools opening. However, not all these seats provide the same chance of gaining an offer of acceptance. It is important for pre-veterinary students to focus their application energy on the seats with the best odds of acceptance. The best odds are usually where you can apply for a resident seat.
The list below provides how many applicants from each group (resident vs. non-resident) enroll every year, along with correlating class sizes for each veterinary school. This information is helpful in determining the best chance of admission as pre-veterinary students weigh which school is the best fit for their veterinary education.
