Cornell is developing a web site for career information as well. When our site is up and running, we will announce it via this newsletter. Our DVM students at Cornell have the advantage of this person working on their behalf to help them find the right job. We are the only veterinary college in North America with a full-time Career Development Officer.
Denied applicants are often disappointed to learn of our decision.
Cornell is very glad to help post-applicants understand how they might improve a future application, and the Director of DVM Admissions makes a significant effort to advise and encourage promising applicants. The most common advice he gives applicants is two-fold. Cornell and many other veterinary colleges will use only your highest GRE scores. We also recommend practicing the GRE on a computer as the test is now offered only in a computerized format. Second, most denied applicants have insufficient animal and veterinary experience.
