Data Disclaimer: Admissions information changes frequently. Data in this guide is compiled from publicly available school, AAVMC, and admissions resources and is intended for educational planning purposes only. Tuition figures, GPA averages, acceptance rates, prerequisite requirements, and experience hour guidelines are approximate and subject to change each admissions cycle. Applicants should verify all requirements directly with each veterinary college before applying. Last verified: May 2026.
Note on CASPer & Supplemental Applications: Some schools require the CASPer situational judgment test as part of their application — which schools require it changes each cycle. Many schools also require a supplemental application and/or fee beyond VMCAS. Some schools (Texas A&M, Texas Tech, University of Saskatchewan) do not use VMCAS and require a direct application. Always verify all requirements directly on each school's admissions page.
How to use vet school GPA and acceptance rate data to build your list
One of the most common mistakes pre-vet students make is applying to schools based on name recognition rather than fit. Every AVMA-accredited vet school has different average GPA requirements, acceptance rates, in-state preferences, and hours expectations — and those differences matter enormously when you're building your school list.
As a general rule, your school list should include a mix of reach schools (where your GPA is slightly below the average matriculant), target schools (where your stats align closely with accepted students), and likely schools (where you are comfortably above average). Applying to all reach schools — regardless of how prestigious they are — is a strategy that costs students a full application cycle more often than not.
In-state preference is one of the most underweighted factors in school selection. Many state schools accept a large majority of in-state students, which means an out-of-state applicant is competing for a very small number of seats. The school comparison tool flags this — pay attention to it.
The data in this tool is updated annually and covers all AVMA-accredited programs in the U.S. Use it alongside the Prerequisite Lookup Tool to make sure your coursework aligns with the specific requirements of the schools you're targeting.
