Frequently Asked Questions
How are these veterinary school rankings calculated?
Rankings reflect each veterinary school's relative position based on GRE medians, GPA medians, acceptance rates, and reported employment or matriculation outcomes from AAVMC institutional data. AdmitBase prioritises transparent, primary-source institutional data and does not use opinion surveys or peer-assessment scores.
How many AVMA-accredited veterinary schools are ranked?
AdmitBase ranks 32 AVMA-accredited veterinary schools in the 2026 cycle, covering every program with sufficient public admissions disclosure. Schools that do not publish GRE or GPA data are listed separately and not assigned a numerical rank.
What is a competitive GRE score for a top-ranked veterinary school?
A competitive score at a top-25 veterinary school typically sits at or above each school's 75th-percentile median in the AAVMC data. Use the table below to compare your GRE and GPA against each school's 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile — applicants at or above the median are considered targets; at or above the 75th percentile are statistical safeties.
How often are these rankings updated?
AdmitBase refreshes veterinary school rankings annually after each cycle's AAVMC disclosure is released. The current rankings reflect 2026 cycle data. We also re-rank quarterly when meaningful interim changes are reported by an institution.
Should I choose a veterinary school purely based on ranking?
No. Rankings are one input among several. Geography, programme fit, cost of attendance, bar passage or board pass rates, employment outcomes by sector, and scholarship offers can materially change which school is the right choice for a given applicant. AdmitBase publishes the underlying data so applicants can weight each factor themselves.
