Veterinary Medicine

<p>My daughter was recently admitted to the Veterinary Scholars Early Admission Program at Kansas State University. It’s a conditional admissions program for exceptionally talented high school seniors that guarantees the program members a seat in the DVM program upon the successful completion of the undergraduate prerequisites with a minimum gpa. The catch is that the applicant must attend Kansas State for undergraduate. The program is uber-competitive (there are similar programs at Tufts, Purdue, the University of Missouri and Mississippi State University), but if your daughter can get in, it will give her a significant advantage over the traditional “front door” applicant to veterinary school – for which the admission statistics are brutal (it is true that it is harder to get into vet school than medical school). If you have any questions about K-State’s program or about vet school admissions in general, feel free to pm me and I’ll be happy to help you. As for what becomes of veterinary school applicants who never get in, the joke at my daughter’s school is that they become doctors (M.D.'s). :-)</p>
