	VETERINARY MEDICINE
		All of the schools have a preference for accepting applicants who are residents of the state in which the school is located.
		Most schools have contracted with states (usually without a veterinary school of their own) to accept a limited number of students from the contracting state and all accept a limited number of non-resident, non-contract "at-large" students; there are approximately 450 such "at-large" positions in veterinary schools in the United States at the present time.
		Competition for admission to veterinary school varies tremendously from school to school; some routinely receive a number of applications equal to ten to twenty times the number of positions in their entering class; others have fewer than five applicants for each first year position.

	Veterinary School Preparation
		Most veterinary schools are funded by the state in which they are located, and therefore most “seats” in a veterinary school are reserved for in-state residents.
		Veterinary medicine is an animal-oriented profession, and therefore experience with animals and direct experience with practicing veterinarians are both essential components of the vet school application.
		Most schools consider both the length of time of the animal and veterinary experiences, as well as the type of experiences, to be a critical component of the vet school application.
