Emails were sent to all candidates updating their application status on Tuesday, January 17, 2012.

192 applicants were invited to participate in admissions interviews.

Once again, the applicant pool was extremely competitive. The average applicant invited to the UFCVM admissions interviews had an overall GPA of 3.62 and a GRE of 1240.

Note to current applicants: If you have not received an e-mail from the UFCVM, please contact the admissions office immediately at (352)-294-4244 to determine your status.

You can find the tables explaining the new scoring systems here.

To make everything easier, ETS has also posted a concordance table which compares the scoring on the sections of the Revised GRE to the old General GRE.

You can find that table here.

Although we still aren’t 100% sure what an ideal score will be on the Revised GRE for veterinary applicants, we have posted our best guess on the DVM Admissions website under Admissions Criteria.

Florida resident applicants should aim for around a 156 on the Verbal Reasoning and around a 146 on the Quantitative Reasoning.

Non-Sponsored (out of state) applicants should aim for around a 160 on the Verbal Reasoning and around a 148 on the Quantitative Reasoning.
