How the Tennessee rate is worked out

Tennessee publishes its own admissions numbers for the 2024-2025 cycle: 2,339 applicants, 390 interviewed, 99 enrolled. 99 divided by 2,339 is 4.2%. 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 Tennessee asks of applicants

  • Nonresidents need a cumulative GPA of at least 3.2 and Tennessee residents at least 2.8 to be considered, unless they file a qualifying hardship statement. Source
  • The prerequisites total 66 semester hours, each passed with a C or better by the end of the spring term before enrollment. Source
  • Biochemistry must be an upper-division course completed within five years of entering. Source

The Tennessee vet school interview

Applicants who reach the third phase meet a team of faculty, staff, alumni, practitioners or students in a live virtual interview, and the interview counts for 25% of the total score. Some nonresident applicants first record a short video answering 3 to 4 questions. Source
