People who want to become veterinarians must earn a doctor of veterinary medicine (DVM) or veterinary medical doctor (VMD, which the University of Pennsylvania grants) degree from one of the twenty-eight accredited colleges of veterinary medicine. Competition for entry into any of these four-year programs is keen. There are sometimes four or five applicants for every opening at a veterinary school. Statistically, it’s estimated that one in three applicants to veterinary schools nationwide is accepted. Expect the application process to take approximately six months.
