All preveterinary requirements must be fulfilled or scheduled for completion by the end of the spring term of the year in which the applicant seeks to be admitted. A list of courses in progress at the time of filing the application or scheduled for completion by the end of the spring term must accompany the applications and transcripts. 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, sex, 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. To be considered an Oregon applicant, the student must be an Oregon resident by September 1 preceding the fall term in which the applicant wishes to enroll. All candidates are given written notification of acceptance or denial as soon as possible after the admissions committee has reached its final decision. Such notification is generally given by April 15. Sometimes, however, decisions on applications are delayed until grades in the more advanced courses are made available to the committee.
