Applicants fill out an online application, which is submitted to VMCAS. The application and accompanying materials go through a quality inspection cycle and are forwarded to the colleges of Veterinary Medicine selected by the students. The centralized process may considerably lighten student workload 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. On average, students apply to between three and four colleges. Colleges do require that some documents, like transcripts, for example, be sent to them directly. Again, this information should be verified with the individual schools. Colleges also benefit from the centralized service since it is one less process they have to maintain internally. The application cycle typically opens in March of each year. Students and advisors can go to the VMCAS web site or the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges web site to find out more about the process and how it works. These websites will also have information about the schools using VMCAS. They may also contain information about schools that do not participate in the VMCAS application. However, it is still wise to verify any important information directly through the relevant veterinary school. |
