Per the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC), it is harder to get into veterinary medical school than it is to get into human medical school.
There are only 29 schools of veterinary medicine in North America while there are more than 160 schools for the study of human medicine. Each year there are approximately 21,000 applications for 2,500 – 2,600 slots for entering DVM students. It means that the schools are admitting the very best and brightest applicants they can get.

Thanks for the stats, pugmama. Getting into veterinary school at all is an incredible achievement, as your stats show.

" It means that the schools are admitting the very best and brightest applicants they can get. "

You mean there are no positions 'set-aside' for the unqualified like in every other area today to attain diversity?

I have been begging my vet to be my PCP for years.

I can make it easy and tell where I hurt, what I’ve eaten..unlike my animals that don’t have that ability.

He won’t go for it. :(
