Schools that DON'T take out of state students?

I know some med schools only take in state students. Are there any vet schools like that? I'm wanting to apply to as many as I can.

Most of them take OOS students, but some will take as little as 1 OOS student a year. UGA comes to mind. You should be able to find all the stats for all the schools online through the AAVMC.

Also important- you should look at cost (of applying to lots of schools and of the schools themselves) and take that into consideration, along with your GPA/GRE compared to school averages.

Hi forjunior!

I'm not sure about all the US schools but I know for a fact in Canada that WCVM and UCVM don't take OOS students.
I usually follow this to see how many seats are offered for OOS students/international students

hope this helps!

a number of schools take mostly IS students... if you can't get into the other schools that have a larger OOS acceptance rate, why bother applying to those (UGA, UCDavis, CSU, etc).

What good would applying to only schools that take in-state students if you're not actually there as a resident of the state? You can't be a resident of more than one state at a time (right?), so it seems to me you can't apply to more than one school as an in-state student at a time.

What am I missing? Is this a joke?

I think what s/he meant was "are there lots of vet schools that s/he can't apply to because they only take IS students?"

I think she wants to apply to as many schools in general as she can, not necessarily ones that just take in-state people. Which would be why she's asking to see if there are many that just take in-state people because then she wouldn't apply there.

Yes. I'm trying to see which schools i shouldn't even bother applying to if they only take in state students.

Read the VMSAR book (or go to the website). All the information is in there. Don't rely on others to tell you what you can see in plain numbers for yourself.

Thank you. I will go to the VMSAR website. And that last part was rude. I'm only a HS senior. I'll be a pre vet undergrad in the fall. I'm sorry if I'm not as informed in things as you are.

I don't think he was trying to be rude. You don't want us to tell you the wrong info on accident when there is a reliable source out there with the official numbers.

This webpage is what I went off of when applying. I had no idea there was a book.

Yup there's a book published every year with up to date information

You can buy the book on Amazon if anyone is interested:

My undergrad also had a few copies on reserve in the library, so you can check there. You don't necessarily need the most current version either - I have the 2009 edition and still found it extremely helpful when applying this cycle.

My only hesitation there would be with new GRE score business and increased class sizes. Plus any deadline changes due to the new VMCA's policies. I had two versions of it. One for the year before I applied when I was researching schools and then the most current version. There were some differences, so I would say it's worth getting the newest version, but that's just me. Plus they aren't that expensive, $15 on amazon I think.

Technically, you can be IS with more than one state, but it is tricky and involves more than it is worth in most cases. The real trick is to go to the Registrar for the schools and look up what the requirements are to be considered IS. I was able to do this for two states. With both, I had to prove my residency (income tax forms and an applicable caveat written into their code for one school; evidence of physical residency and working a job in another state for the other school). This will not work for everyone. Military is one instance, working in a state other than your residency state is another.

when i want to be rude it is usually much more obvious!
