PS The admissions committee will give consideration to the following three aspects of your personal statement, and each aspect should be clearly defined. Your VMCAS personal statements should help the committee understand:(1) something about you as a person,(2) how your interest in veterinary medicine developed within the context of your veterinary and animal-related experiences, what prepared you for a career in veterinary medicine, and your understanding of the profession, and(3) your career goals and what you currently anticipate doing with a degree in veterinary medicine. Your career goals may change after your experiences within the program, but the committee would like to know what your current interests are and how you would anticipate using your training as a veterinarian. The statement will also be evaluated for maturity, experience and communication skills.The personal statement should be written with a realistic view of the profession. It’s recommended that applicants avoid a romantic approach and write a succinct statement that indicates the preparation gained for the program (think cover letter for a desired position). Additionally, applicants should inform the committee on the individual plan employed to become a competitive veterinary applicant (academic major, veterinary and animal experiences pursued, etc.). GPA GPA of 3.0 Fee It is also the applicant’s responsibility to pay the non-refundable $60.00 supplemental application fee when the supplemental application is complete and prior to the deadline.

Each evaluator should include a written narrative that supports his or her overall evaluation of the applicant. Applicants must submit letters through the eLOR system.
