Procedures for Applying for Fall 2010
Veterinary Medical College Admission Service (VMCAS) will provide an electronic application by June 2, 2009 for entry in Fall 2010. An application fee will be charged by VMCAS while Penn will charge a processing fee of $60. VMCAS will forward your application to the schools you designate at the application Web site http://www.aavmc.org.
VMCAS will process and forward your letters of evaluation. Electronic Letters of Recommendation, eLOR, will be the method of submitting recommendations to VMCAS. There will be no Evaluation Form online to be downloaded and copied as in previous years. Transcripts and GRE scores must be sent by the applicant directly to the schools to which you are applying.
The application deadline will be October 2 at noon E.D.T. for receipt of your application and evaluations at VMCAS and for receipt of your transcripts by Penn. The last date to take the GRE for this admissions cycle is November 1, 2009. GRE scores should be forwarded to the Admissions Office by December 1, 2009.
