Pre Professional Office Veterinary School Veterinary medicine occupies a special place in the assemblage of health care professions. Most veterinarians care for sick animals, but a handful researches human diseases using animal subjects. A considerable number of schools expect additional science courses or even a science major of their applicants. Some schools also expect several courses in English, the social sciences, or the humanities, and a few ask for -courses in Animal Science or Management.
Veterinary schools expect, and in some cases require, experience working with animals.
Some specify both large and small animal experience. Laboratory research experience is also viewed favorably. For school by school requirements, it is best to check each school individually. The application period runs roughly from July through October, but again it is vital to note the specific dates for individual schools. It is also required that letters of recommendation be sent through this service.
