Admission to the College of Veterinary Medicine is on a competitive and selective basis. Scholastic performance, aptitude, and personal development are all considered in the selection of candidates. Consideration of admission to the College of Veterinary Medicine is administered equally without regard to race, color, creed, gender, national origin, disability, or age.
Admission is granted annually at the beginning of the fall quarter only.
In reviewing applicants for admission to the College of Veterinary Medicine, preference is given to qualified Oregon residents for 28 positions. All candidates are given written notification of acceptance or denial as soon as possible after the admissions committee has reached its final decision. Sometimes, however, final decisions on non-residents may be delayed until June. Acknowledgment of notification of acceptance should be made promptly in writing by the successful applicant. Unsuccessful applicants who wish to be considered for the following year must resubmit an application.
