Though the average marks needed to compete in any one year will vary depending upon who else is applying, it usually requires marks well into the 80's to be competitive. In addition to a strong academic background, students are evaluated by the experiences they have gained in veterinary and animal related fields as well as their personal characteristics. Historically, it was considered that veterinary medicine was a career for men only. Anyone considering applying to veterinary college should also have an alternative career path under consideration in case they don t get accepted. In addition to veterinary medicine, there are other related programs that students might find of interest.
