Enrollment in Purdue Veterinary Medicine is limited and admission is competitive. A diverse class is selected by a process using various academic and non-academic factors including animal and veterinary experience, research experience, work experience, extracurricular activities, evidence of leadership, verbal and written skills and references. Much of the information evaluated to select the class is not included in this summary because it is not easily quantified.
