Animal Experience

- Three Applicant Evaluation Forms, available from TMDSAS, are required. One evaluation must be completed by a veterinarian.
Pre-Requisite Coursework
- Students must receive a C or higher grade in all required coursework.
- Pre-requisites courses must be completed within the last 10 years prior to admissions. Exceptions to this may be considered on a case by case basis based on a holistic review of other coursework or experiences by the Admissions Committee.

- Coursework may be in progress or planned at the time of application, but must be completed by the end of spring semester of the year of matriculation.
