How the Rowan rate is worked out

Rowan publishes its own admissions numbers for the Class of 2029: 603 completed applications, 458 interviewed, 75 enrolled. 75 divided by 603 is 12.4%. 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 Rowan asks of applicants

  • At least 60 college credit hours from an accredited institution with an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale, though a bachelor's degree is not required to apply. Rowan evaluates overall GPA, prerequisite GPA and last 45-hour GPA, counting all course grades including repeated courses in the overall and last 45-hour GPA and the highest grade in a qualifying course for prerequisite GPA. Source
  • No minimum number of animal or veterinary experience hours, though varied animal and veterinary experiences are strongly recommended. Applications go through VMCAS and require personal statements and three letters of reference, with one preferably from a veterinarian. Source
  • A grade of C- or better in each prerequisite, with in-person labs where a lab is required and no recency requirement for science courses. Required semester credits include 6 of general biology with lab, 6 of upper-level biology (300-level or above), 3 of microbiology, 3 of genetics, 6 of general chemistry with lab, 4 of organic chemistry with lab, 3 of biochemistry, 3 of math, 6 of English or writing-intensive courses and 6 of social science or humanities. At most two prerequisites may be in progress when you apply, and all must be completed with transcripts submitted by July 31 of the matriculation year. Source
  • Rowan does not require the GRE, MCAT or Casper, and won't look at scores if you send them. Source
  • For 2026-2027, tuition is $39,375 for New Jersey residents and $61,425 for out-of-state students, plus an estimated $28,497 in yearly non-tuition expenses ($17,360 for housing and board, $4,883 for transportation, $4,535 for personal expenses, $1,405 for books and supplies and $314 in loan fees).

The Rowan vet school interview

In Stage 2, Rowan scores academic factors for 35 points and non-academic factors for 65 points before inviting top-ranked candidates to Stage 3, a virtual multiple mini interview (MMI) worth 25 of the 125 total points.
