Product Description
This book gives facts and advice on: veterinary school admission requirements, courses to take in high school and college, diversifying your animal and veterinary experiences, gaining good letters of recommendation, planning your pre-vet years, extracurricular activities, preparing your application, preparing for the admissions interview, and much more. Other books give only admissions facts; this book gives advice and suggestions in addition to the facts. The author has over twenty years of admissions experience; ten years as the Director of Admissions for the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University. He has advised thousands of students on how to improve their qualifications for veterinary school. This book is an immensely valuable resource with information from both the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges. This is the first book you should have to help you prepare for veterinary school.

Veterinary School November 10, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
As a public librarian, the first question I ask about a book that seeks to help people is: "Is the information accurate and the help practical?" The second question is: "Will the book be useful in my library?" Get Into Veterinary School: Insights by an Admissions Expert is positive on both questions. In fact, shortly after it was added to my library, it was checked out, so I had to wait a few weeks to borrow it.
The book is by a true expert - the former Director of Admissions at Cornell's famed veterinary school - and the insights are exceptionally practical, such as classes to take in high school as well as in college. It has wise advice on choosing the college to attend when veterinary school is the ultimate goal. The author also stresses the importance of large-animal experience and references from practicing veterinarians in the admissions process, as it is highly competitive.
At the back of the book are three very practical appendices - lists of veterinary schools and organizations, veterinary technology programs in community and technical colleges, and animal and veterinary organizations. Vet tech programs are a wonderful alternative for those who do not feel a DVM program is the right fit. I found one such program a short drive from my home.
