I don't think so? I think a lot of schools have a "weed out" round, so to speak, where they eliminate some applicants based on the objective things like GPA, and GRE, and then they narrow down what they have left based on the subjective stuff. I don't know, though, if this is the way UGA does things. Perhaps a current UGA'er or a former applicant could enlighten us?
Just found this:
The minimum requirements to be considered for admission are either:
- an undergraduate GPA > 3.0
OR
- GRE (Verbal + Quantitative) > 308 (1200 old scale)
Applicants who meet our minimum requirements will be further evaluated by three UGA College of Veterinary Medicine faculty members. These faculty members will review the application independently. Those candidates whose applications are viewed favorably by the faculty will be forwarded to the Admissions committee for further consideration.
The Admissions committee then calls and interviews one or more of the candidate’s references, asking a standardized set of questions. Based on the candidate’s academic credentials, the faculty file evaluations, and the interviews with the references, the Admissions Committee selects Admitted Candidates and Alternates.
