The preparatory program at Washington State University is one of the most comprehensive in the nation and offers many opportunities for students. Your health professions specialist can help you explore opportunities for research, leadership, and industry experience. Your pre-vet specialist will assist you in preparation for your professional exams and help you produce and submit a complete application to the veterinary programs of your choice.
We encourage students to meet with us at least once each semester beginning your very first semester at WSU Pullman. We advise and support students from all majors and continue to provide support to students after they complete their degree at Washington State University.
Pre-Veterinary study is not a major in itself. It is a preparatory track that can be incorporated into any major. As an undergraduate student, you may choose any major that you are passionate about and still fulfill the prerequisites necessary to qualify for a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program after you graduate.
Admissions committees will consider your cumulative GPA, science GPA, last 45 semester hour GPA, prerequisite GPA, grades in upper division science courses, as well as course load per semester. GRE may be required. At least three letters of recommendation Most veterinary schools do not provide a minimum, but many recommend approximately 250-600 hours of animal experience (any work with animals not supervised by a veterinarian) and 250-600 hours of shadowing/veterinary experience (work supervised by or in observation of a veterinarian). A strong history of volunteer activity is an indication of the applicant’s desire to contribute to society; a major component of becoming a veterinarian. A good place to start looking for community service opportunities is at the Health Professions Student Center. Your Pre-Vet Specialist, Becky Jewell can point you to opportunities in the Pullman area. TOEFL iBT: 75 or IELTS 6.5 overall. Copy of Passport
