Submit Two Required Applications

• Veterinary Medical College Application Service (VMCAS)
• Colorado Supplemental Application (CSA)

Complete Your VMCAS Application

• Application fee: Calculated based on the number of colleges to which you are applying.
• Transcripts: All transcripts must be received by VMCAS by September 1 to allow for verification. If all transcripts are not received at VMCAS before September 18, your application will not be verified.
  • International transcripts must be electronically processed through the World Education Services credential evaluation and received at VMCAS before September 18.
    • WES-evaluated transcripts are required for all international schools (including French-speaking Canadian institutions). Transcripts from English-speaking Canadian institutions do not require WES evaluation, but they must be accompanied by a U.S. equivalency conversion/key if not already listed in this format.
    • It is recommended that transcripts be submitted to the WES translation service at least one month before the VMCAS deadline.
    • Please request a course-by-course U.S. equivalency credential evaluation report with grades. This report should be sent directly from WES to VMCAS. Because WES evaluations can take a few weeks to process, contact WES as early as possible to avoid processing delays.
    • WES will expedite your request for an additional fee.
• Three letters of recommendation: We suggest selecting one veterinarian, one academic source, and one employment source, but to ultimately select recommenders with whom you are most comfortable – with at least one being from a veterinarian.

Complete Your CSA

• Application fee: A non-refundable $80 fee must be paid by credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, or Discover) at the time of submission.
• TOEFL Scores: Send test scores to CSU (using code 4075) through Educational Testing Service (ETS). Required for all international applicants from a country whose primary language is not English. Students are exempted from the TOEFL requirement if the official language of their country is English, they have recently earned a degree at an American university, or they are from Puerto Rico or an English-speaking Canadian territory.

If you would like to apply to a special degree program, including the Alaska Collaborative Veterinary Program, any of the combined programs (D.V.M. – M.B.A., D.V.M. – M.P.H., D.V.M. – M.S.A., D.V.M. – M.S.T., D.V.M. – Ph.D.), or the Food Animal Veterinary Career Incentive Program (FAVCIP), complete the additional essay/section within the CSA.
