The VMCAS Process
Applicants fill out an online application, which is submitted to VMCAS. The application and accompanying materials pass through a quality inspection cycle and are forwarded to the colleges of veterinary medicine selected by the students. The centralized process considerably lightens student workloads since they may only have to submit one application rather than several. However, many of the schools using VMCAS may require applicants to submit supplemental applications in addition to the VMCAS application. Colleges also may require that some documents, like transcripts (for example) be sent to them directly.
The application cycle typically opens in June of each year. Students and advisors can go to the http://www.aavmc.org/ American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges Web site] to find out more about the process and how it works. This Web site will also has information about the schools using VMCAS, and information about schools that do not participate in the VMCAS application.
The Veterinary Medical School Admission Requirements (VMSAR) book also contains admission requirements and contact information for all 32 U.S. and Canadian and International veterinary schools. A new edition is published every year.
