Hi, all. I am looking for previous editions of the VMSAR book published every year by the AAVMC. I am happy to pay shipping costs if it's a paper copy- not sure when they started digital publishing.
I will be using them as references for putting together more info like the tuition data I posted in the "Estimated Cost of Veterinary School" thread alliecat44 started. Appreciate any help, I'll take editions as far back as possible. Thanks!

I think I have one from 2 years ago. Pm me your address and I will try to get it to you ( gotta dig it up)

Great! Thanks🙂

You should be able to get some of the more recent years for cheap used on amazon too.

Excellent tip! Just picked up the ones published in 2007 and 2009, both delivered for less than $10. Thanks!!
So, still looking for the ones published in 2010 and 2008, and anything before 2007.

I know I had some older books, but I'm pretty sure I got rid of a few. The only thing I can put my hands on right away is a Betz Guide to the VCAT, circa 1996, lol. I'll keep looking though.

Hey, if it's got any stats in it about vet schools I'm interested!

Happy to hear it!

Also Abebooks.com has most of them used for just under $4 a piece (including shipping). Usually around $1 a book + $3 shipping. I wonder if you bought a bunch, if you couldn't get a cheaper shipping rate?

FABULOUS tip!!! Just picked up all of the ones I needed beck to 94'. Thanks tons! I'm interested in them because I have found some instances where the tuition in the VMSAR didn't match what was published on a CVM's website. I wanted to see how often that occurred, and if there was any pattern to it.

At least I made some contribution in the end. 🙂

I love picking up old editions of texts on abebooks for $1 or less + shipping. lots of topics don't change enough for me to worry when I have an extra $100 in my pocket.
