2013 College Application
and Instructions
Have you contemplated a career in veterinary medicine? Would you like to learn more about what the profession entails? If so, come spend a week exploring veterinary school at one of the finest institutions in the country!
This unique career exploration program will provide students with the opportunity to attend lectures from Tufts faculty, staff and veterinary students, and discuss the realities of a veterinary education with them. Students will get a first-hand look at the demands of veterinary school as they shadow fourth year DVM candidates in the clinics as they perform their medicine and surgery rotations in the Foster Hospital for Small Animals, the Hospital for Large Animals and the Tufts Wildlife Clinic. Programming includes lively discussions about critical issues—including ethics and public policy—with other committed students who care about animal health. Students will also have a chance to attend admission and financial aid presentations, to get an idea of what it takes to be a competitive veterinary school applicant and what the financial realities of veterinary school are. One-on-one admission counseling is also included.
