How the Match Score Works

Percentile-based, tuned for veterinary admissions

Your GRE Verbal + Quantitative scores and GPA are compared against each program’s 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile data from AAVMC institutional reports. Veterinary schools weight GPA at 60% and GRE at 40% — reflecting that GPA and prerequisite performance matter more than standardised test scores in DVM admissions. We also track NAVLE first-time pass rates as a quality signal.

Safety (75–100)

Your numbers are above the school's median — strong admit with potential scholarship.

Target (50–74)

You're in range. A solid application with strong animal experience makes acceptance realistic.

Reach (25–49)

Below median. Worth including if you have exceptional experience, but balance your list.

Far Reach (0–24)

A significant stretch numerically. Focus on programs where you're more competitive.

Why NAVLE Pass Rates Matter

The North American Veterinary Licensing Examination is the gateway to practising veterinary medicine. First-time pass rates vary significantly between schools — from under 85% to over 98%. A program with a low NAVLE pass rate may indicate gaps in clinical training that could delay your career. AdmitBase shows NAVLE pass rates alongside match scores so you can evaluate both your admission chances and the program’s track record of producing licensed veterinarians.
