Apply Online to the WCVM
Admissions Procedures
The deadline to apply online for the Western College of Veterinary Medicine's Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program is December 1.
Before submitting your application,
please review the essential skills and abilities required for the study of veterinary medicine.
In addition to
submitting a completed application form, applicants must arrange for the
following:
- Official transcripts
of their university records: All applicants must arrange
to have registrars forward two official transcripts to the WCVM Admissions
Office. One set of official transcripts should be sent at the time of
application, and the second should be sent in as soon as final marks are
available in the spring. However, those currently enrolled in university should
delay the submission of their first transcript until final marks from the first
semester are available.
University of Saskatchewan transcripts will be accessed directly (not required from registrar).
- Nomination of three
referees to support their WCVM application: Space is provided on
the application form to nominate referees to support the application.
One referee must be a veterinarian while the other must be an individual who has an animal-related or agricultural background. Referees will be contacted directly and asked to complete the reference form online.
When the application
and supporting documents have been received and evaluated, the WCVM Admissions
Office will contact the applicants who will be interviewed to inform them of
the time and place of the interview.
The final selection
of candidates to be interviewed is made after all the results of spring
examinations and full year classes have been received. Final selections for
admission are made after interviewing is completed. The process is usually
completed before July 1.
