Admission to the DVM Program
NC State issues the following announcement regarding the 2022 admissions cycle’s admissions requirements.
- P/F grades: For prerequisites finished in Spring or Summer 2020, NC State will accept a Pass or a Satisfactory in the S/U grading systems. P/F and S/U will be accepted for Fall 2020 if they are the only options offered by the institution. A letter grade is expected if it is an option. Following the spring and summer of 2020, all semesters will require letter grades of C- or higher.
- (A) The calculation of the Required Course GPA will not take P/F or S/U scaled courses into account.
- Any subsequent admissions cycle will accept a “Pass” or “Satisfactory” grade for a prerequisite taken in the Spring or Summer of 2020.
- GRE: As of the 2021 admissions cycle, NC State will no longer require the GRE for admission to the DVM program.
- NC State will still require three (3) letters of recommendation for admission. Furthermore, we continue to strongly advise that two of the three letters come from DVMs or Ph D. scientists with whom you have worked.
- 200 hours of veterinary experience are necessary, per NC State.

The academic performance, knowledge of the veterinary medical field, accomplishments, and professional potential of applicants are assessed.
Pre-veterinary students are free to pursue any undergraduate major they like, and many different academic disciplines’ curricula offer the pre-professional courses they need. An undergraduate degree, however, is not required for admission. Pre-vet is a track that can be selected within a major; it is not a major. Pre-professional students frequently major in zoology, animal science, poultry science, biology, biochemistry, and microbiology. Only prerequisite courses must be taken by applicants in order to meet academic admission requirements.
Eligibility Criteria Used to Evaluate Applicants
Prospective applicants are responsible for becoming familiar with and meeting the eligibility requirements in order to be considered for admission.

Admission to the DVM program at NC State CVM is subject to a comprehensive review process. Applications are reviewed once it has been established that each applicant has satisfied the eligibility requirements and submitted their forms by the necessary deadlines.
Three members of the college committee for admissions independently review each complete application that satisfies the requirements listed above for applicants who are residents of North Carolina, and each committee member ranks the application. The committee’s recommendation regarding whether to accept, waitlist, or deny acceptance to each applicant is based on the total ranks that each member assigned. The CVM is testing the use of a video multiple mini-interview for North Carolina residents only for the cycle of admissions in 2022–2023. North Carolina residents will comprise 80% of the admitted class.
Due to the high volume of non-resident applicants, two trained individuals independently review each complete application. Three members of the College Committee for Admissions will review a candidate’s application upon recommendation from either of the initial reviewers, just as they would for resident applicants.
Final approval of the College Committee for Admissions’ recommended admissions decisions rests with the Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine.
NOTICE: The dean and the Faculty Committee on Admissions decide and review the requirements for admission to the College of Veterinary Medicine on a regular basis. The College of Veterinary Medicine faculty, the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association, the North Carolina State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and the University of North Carolina system make up the admissions committee. As a result of ongoing evaluation by the Faculty Committee on Admissions, changes to the admissions procedure may be made without prior notice.
