The Vet Med Professional Application for the 2013-2014 Cycle is now CLOSED. Please note that the VMCAS portal will open JUNE 5th, 2013.

Thank you for your interest in the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine.

We have a two step application process:

The University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine is a participant in the Veterinary Medical College Application Service (VMCAS). VMCAS is a national program in which a majority of the American veterinary colleges have agreed to participate. This centralized application service receives, processes, and forwards applications to the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine for the Admission Committee’s use in selecting candidates each year.  Applications are typically available in early June via the VMCAS website. Only one application is necessary for applying to any of the VMCAS colleges. Beginning with the 2013-2014 application cycle, VMCAS will perform Transcript Verification on all submitted applications. This means that official transcripts should be received by VMCAS by September 1, 2013. Please note the following important dates:
