Kansas State vet school acceptance rate

How the Kansas State rate is worked out

Kansas State publishes its own admissions numbers for the Class of 2030: 2,350 applicants, 456 interviewed, 126 enrolled. 126 divided by 2,350 is 5.4%. Source

The school does not publish how many offers it made, so this counts students who enrolled. The share offered a seat is somewhat higher, because some admitted applicants go elsewhere.

We only use numbers the school posts on its own site. National VMCAS and AAVMC tables count applicants differently, so they are left out.

What Kansas State asks of applicants

• To be eligible for an interview you need at least a 2.8 GPA in the prerequisite courses, a 2.8 GPA in the KSU CVM science prerequisites and a 2.8 GPA over your last 45 hours. Any grade below C- in a required course is not accepted, and a D or F on your transcript when you apply disqualifies the application. Source
• All 53 credit hours of prerequisites must be finished by the end of the spring term before you start. Course retakes within the last 6 years when you apply are averaged into your GPA, and fall and spring grades earned during the application cycle are not counted in GPA calculations. Source
• Kansas State sets no minimum number of veterinary experience hours. Source
• One letter of recommendation from a veterinarian is required, with optional references from a professor or advisor and an unrelated personal reference. Applications and the $50 KSU Supplemental Application fee are due September 15. Source
• Kansas State no longer requires or considers the GRE. Source
• The entering class's average science GPA 3.76 (Class of 2030), median animal experience 1,557 hours (Class of 2030). Source Source

The Kansas State vet school interview

Kansas State requires an on-campus interview to complete the application. Before invites go out, the primary evaluation weights academics at 60% and experience at 11%. The secondary evaluation and interview make up the remaining 29%, where the interview team reviews your listed experiences, essays, personal statement, evaluations and letters. Source

About Kansas State's DVM program
