Re: U Of I Vet School Admissions

The College of Veterinary Medicine is a graduate school at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

It is ranked 2nd best College of Veterinary Medicine in the world by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)

Selection process for Admission

The selection of students is a three-phase process, usually completed by late-February.

Phase One – Cognitive Evaluation

The initial candidate’s assessment ranks all applicants numerically according to a composite score derived from the Cumulative and Science Grade Point Averages and the GRE percentile score

Phase Two – Non-Cognitive Evaluation

Each application is read by a minimum of 3 members of the Committee.

The non-academic score is determined by the following factors:

VMCAS personal statement
Illinois Supplemental essay
Animal-related experience
Veterinary-related experience
Other experiences (research, international studies, business, agribusiness, other careers before application)
Community service/citizenship
Leadership
Initiative/enterprising activities
Special recognition (academic, personal, or professional)
Electronic Letters of reference (ELOR)

Phase Three – Interview

300+ applicants will be offered a personal interview to be scheduled in mid-to-late February.

All applicants will interview on one single day with one of 21 teams of interviewers.

Final scores for ranking eligibility for admission are derived as follows:

Phase Two score = 75% of final decision
Phase Three score = 25% of final decision

Admissions Statistics

An average Cumulative GPA of 3.59
