Students who hope to enroll in veterinary school in fall 2021 can start the application process months earlier than normal.<\/p>\n

The Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges reported that the next application cycle will open Jan. 22, 2020 \u2014 compared to the tradition May date \u2014 and close Sept. 15, 2020.<\/p>\n

While applicants won\u2019t be able to select specific schools until May 12, the added time is an opportunity to \u201center coursework, request letters of recommendation and request transcripts,\u201d AAVMC stated.<\/p>\n

The change, which AAVMC described as \u201ca significant departure from past practice,\u201d could benefit procrastinators.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the annual VMCAS application cycle is normally active for about four months, most applicants<\/a> typically wait until the last minute to complete their applications,\u201d AAVMC stated. \u201cFor example, during the 2018-19 cycle, 6,470 (79.4%) applicants waited until September to submit their applications, with 45% of applicants submitting during the final week.\u201d<\/p>\n

All U.S. veterinary colleges<\/a> with the exception of Texas A&M University are part of the Veterinary Medical College Application Service (VMCAS).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
