• Prospective Veterinary Students

Application Information

Pre-high school.

Interested pre-high school students are encouraged to talk with their local veterinarians about volunteer or work opportunities and to develop strong academic skills in all coursework—especially math and science courses.

High School

Focused preparation for entering veterinary school can begin as early as high school. Students should take as many science classes (e.g. biology, chemistry, physics) as possible to prepare them for college courses. In addition, hours gained working or volunteering with a veterinarian will count towards the hours of veterinary experience necessary to qualify for admission.

Prerequisite Courses

A variety of college-level prerequisite courses must be completed before enrolling in the DVM program. These courses include biology, chemistry, physics, and humanities courses. Relevant AP (Advanced Placement) or IB (International Baccalaureate) credits reflected on a college transcript will be accepted in fulfillment of prerequisites. Prerequisite courses must be completed by June 15, prior to entry into the DVM program in the fall.

More information on the prerequisite courses for the Auburn University DVM program

Academic Requirements

The minimum acceptable grade for required courses is a C-minus. If a course is repeated for a higher grade, both grades will factor into our overall grade point average (GPA) calculations. All coursework completed at any college or university will be used to calculate the applicant’s cumulative GPA. This includes dual enrollment credits earned in high school.

Alabama and Kentucky residents must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50 on a 4.00 scale. At-large applicants (those who are not Alabama or Kentucky residents) must have a 3.00 GPA on a 4.00 scale.

Experience Working with Veterinarians

In addition to completing the required pre-veterinary courses, students are required to work with one or more veterinarians to learn about the career opportunities and responsibilities within the profession. A minimum number of hours of experience is necessary to qualify for admission. Access the Auburn VMSAR page for up-to-date information.

Applying to the Program

All applications must be submitted through the Veterinary Medical College Application Service (VMCAS) . Please pay careful attention to the application deadline as late applications will NOT be accepted by Auburn University.

Graduate Records Examination (GRE)

The GRE is not used to assess applicants for admission to Auburn’s DVM program.

Letters of Recommendation

Three letters of recommendation are required and must be submitted through VMCAS. One must be from a veterinarian. The other two should come from an employer (may be second veterinarian but does not have to be) and from a professor or advisor who is familiar with your academic work.

Transcripts

Transcripts from all colleges where academic credit was earned, including dual enrollment during high school, must be submitted through VMCAS.

Application Processing Fee

An application processing fee must be submitted through the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine (AUCVM) website. The link to pay the fee is available through the VMCAS application. Applications will not be processed until the processing fee is received.

Qualified applicants will be invited to a 30-minute virtual interview with members of the Admissions Committee. The purpose of this interview is to optimize the committee’s understanding of the applicant’s communication skills, depth and breadth of experience working with veterinarians and professional potential.

Evaluation of Applicants

Auburn University has a three part admission procedure which entails an objective evaluation (academic credentials), a subjective review (personal credentials & work experience with animals), and a personal interview.

Applications are evaluated based on academic record and experience. Four GPAs will be calculated: an overall GPA combining all college-level coursework completed at every institution attended; a science GPA which will include science core and elective courses; a GPA combining organic chemistry, biochemistry, and physics; and a trend GPA over the most recent 60 credits completed. Plus and minus grades are rounded to the full letter grade (an A- is calculated as an A, a B+ as a B, etc.).

Completion of Prerequisites

Any prerequisite courses which are in progress or which the student plans to take in the spring following submission of their application should be listed in VMCAS. Courses must be completed before June 15 th prior to entry into the DVM program in the fall.

Kentucky Residents

Please contact the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) before October 1 to document your Kentucky residency. If you have questions, please contact the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (KCPE) at 502-573-1555.

Wildlife Pre-Vet Concentration

This major, coupled with abundant hands-on learning and volunteer opportunities,  exposes students to the basic principles of wildlife biology and management as a foundation to pursue veterinary medicine at Auburn University or elsewhere.

• Why Pick Auburn?
• Program Details
• Transfer Programs

Located in the East Central region of Alabama, the Auburn University School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences (SFWS) offers easy access to the abundant forests, rivers and streams, and waterways that make this state one of the most biologically diverse in the nation. These diverse natural habitats, which span from the Gulf of Mexico to the Tennessee Valley, make Alabama an ideal place for education and careers in natural resources. For 25 consecutive years, Auburn has been a fixture on U.S. News & World Report’s list of the top 50 public universities in the country. Auburn’s academic offerings are outstanding, and its students benefit tremendously from the academic and social support provided by the university. School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences students enjoy a low faculty-to-student ratio and they are afforded numerous hands-on and experiential learning opportunities. They are supported by dedicated professional advisors and instructed by world-class faculty who are committed to helping students build a solid foundation for a successful career.

Students who have an interest in the outdoors and free ranging wildlife populations may find this major especially useful, as they gain the necessary understanding of wildlife ecology, management, and conservation to be effective wildlife veterinarians. However, many of our Wildlife Pre-Vet graduates choose this major because it effectively prepares them for veterinary school while satisfying their wildlife interests.  The minimum requirements for admission to the CVM are incorporated in the first three years in the Wildlife Sciences, Pre-Veterinary Medicine Concentration, thus allowing students to be eligible for and apply to Vet School after only three years at Auburn University.

The School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences welcomes transfer students who wish to apply up to 60 semester hours of credit toward their degree program at Auburn University.  The school has also forged cooperative transfer programs for students who are earning credit toward their degrees at University of West Alabama, and others.

If you have any questions about Auburn’s grade point requirements for transfer students, transferring or would like an academic advisor to evaluate your transcripts, please call our Student Services office at 334-844-1001 or e-mail  [email protected] . Learn more about Auburn’s  cooperative transfer programs .

Students may be admitted to the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) upon completion of the minimum requirements as outlined in the AU Bulletin. If students are admitted to the CVM prior to completion of the full four years, they may obtain a bachelor of science in this concentration after successful completion of the freshman year in the CVM. The minimum requirements for admission to the CVM are incorporated in the first three years in the Wildlife Sciences, Pre-Veterinary Medicine Concentration.

The Wildlife Sciences Pre-Veterinary Concentration major provides students with the foundation and qualifications to pursue veterinary medicine within Auburn’s College of Veterinary Sciences. However, the curriculum also prepares students to pursue other career fields such as:

• Conservation Biology
• Conservation Law Enforcement
• Land and Resource Management
• Wildlife Management

Dear Auburn Family,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 75th Anniversary Celebration of the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences at Auburn University!

Thank you for visiting our website in observance of this important anniversary. We hope you’ll enjoy learning about the history of Auburn’s forestry and wildlife sciences programs within the interactive timeline and photo archive of the School’s significant milestones and achievements.

As you’ll discover, forestry first became a stand-alone program in what was then known as the School of Agriculture in 1946. Since that time, Auburn has produced thousands of well-qualified graduates, provided citizens with science-based solutions to improve their quality of life and developed solutions to some of society’s most complex natural resource challenges.

In honor of this occasion, the School has published Arthur L. Slotkin’s 75 Years of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences at Auburn University . Through personal interviews and in-depth research, Mr. Slotkin has created a detailed chronology that will take readers on a journey through time to discover how Auburn’s forestry and wildlife programs evolved to become the present-day School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences.

The School will commemorate its 75th anniversary from March 2021 through 2022. Throughout the year, we will invite our faculty, students, alumni, and friends to join us in celebrating the School’s rich history of teaching, research, and extension through a series of virtual and in-person *events, including:

• 7 for 75 Virtual Speaker Series: Accomplished alumni and industry leaders representing our diverse programs will discuss a wide range of topics from land management to current and future technology to stakeholder engagement.
• Dean’s Q & A and Alumni Breakout Sessions: Deans past and present will share their personal stories of the major milestones that occurred during their tenure. As part of these virtual roundtable discussions, we will host breakout sessions for alumni to socialize and reminisce about their time at Auburn.
• 75th Anniversary Events: Faculty, staff, and students will celebrate the anniversary with alumni and friends during the School’s annual events, including the student awards banquet, graduate research symposium, and alumni homecoming barbeque.
• 75th Anniversary Gala: The anniversary celebrations will conclude with a signature gala in the spring of 2022 at the Gogue Performing Arts Center. To feature a distinguished keynote speaker, guests will also enjoy dinner, musical entertainment, a complimentary book signing with Arthur Slotkin, and a short documentary of the 75-year history of forestry and wildlife sciences at Auburn University.

In addition to this exciting calendar of events, we invite our alumni to share their Auburn experience by submitting stories, photos, and other memorabilia to our website that will be shared online with fellow alumni during the anniversary celebration year.

On behalf of the faculty and staff, we look forward to commemorating this milestone anniversary with you in honor of 75 years of forestry and wildlife Sciences at Auburn University!

Events are subject to change in compliance with Auburn University’s COVID-19 safety protocols.
