How the Michigan State rate is worked out

Michigan State publishes its own admissions numbers for the Class of 2030: 1,909 applications submitted, 115 enrolled. 115 divided by 1,909 is 6.0%. 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 Michigan State asks of applicants

  • Applicants need at least a 3.0 GPA over the most recent three semesters and a 3.0 science prerequisite GPA. Cumulative GPA is not used. Source
  • All science prerequisites must be finished at the time of application. Source
  • Three letters of recommendation are required, one from a veterinarian, and faculty recommend at least 150 hours with a veterinarian. Source
  • Michigan State does not require or consider the GRE or MCAT. Source
  • The entering class's average science GPA 3.58 (Class of 2030, science prerequisite GPA). Source

The Michigan State vet school interview
