Reddit mentions of Veterinary Medical School Admission Requirements: 2012 Edition for 2013 Matriculation

My undergrad was pretty solid, 1/2 of it at community college, and the rest at a local state uni. I got into vet school 1 semester away from getting my bachelor's degree (biology major). Most of my grades were A/B with like 2 C's in there. My GRE score was low-average when looking at typical vet student application stats. But being a registered tech with a fair amount of general practice experience along with a few internships and courses in dentistry, ophthalmology, emergency med and exotics helped round things out. I was not immediately offered a spot but was called off the waiting list in March.

The big things are experience and good enough grades to prove that once you're in school, you will be able to "hack it." The myth of C=DVM is just that. Vet schools nowadays have more stringent academic probation guidelines, so you can only afford to get a few C's during each semester. I think currently if you hit 2.0 or below you go on academic warning at my school. And we've lost an average of 2 students a semester so far because of poor performance.

Many schools these days are looking for more lab and research experience. If you have any of this with post-grad work, that will help you out. Also variety of experience is good. Don't forget about large animals; farm/production animal type experience is more and more rare and could help you stand out.

The [AAVMC(]http://www.aavmc.org/) site is helpful to look at, and there is an annual publication VMSARwhich lists the incoming class statistics for the previous year, so you can see what kind of students the schools have been accepting.

There is a good pre-vet forum on the Student Doctor Network that is pretty active.

Good luck!
