Visits & Advising

In-person visits

Our program offers general tours of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital on most Fridays throughout the year. You may also register for a 30-minute meeting with a member of the admissions team. Currently offered applicants should contact the admissions team directly to schedule a campus visit.

Pre-veterinary clubs

Contact our DVM admissions team for a campus visit or a virtual question and answer panel with current DVM student ambassadors.

Virtual advising

Applicants should thoroughly review our website before requesting individual advising. Our admissions requirements page clearly outlines the admissions process and criteria for our program.

If you still need additional assistance, please complete the Individual Advising Request to help us better address your needs as a prospective applicant. The admissions staff will only review your survey response, application reviews are not provided. Most requests will receive an email response.

Meetings are offered on a limited basis to individuals with extenuating circumstances that would benefit from one-on-one advising with a member of the admissions team. High school (or younger) students should reach out to pre-health or pre-veterinary advisors for support. Prerequisite and/or course/transcript evaluations are not provided.

Veterinary Teaching Hospital tours

Take a tour of the WSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital to get a behind-the-scenes look. Tours are led by current veterinary students. You may also register for a 30-minute admissions meeting prior to the tour.

When: Fridays from 12 – 1 p.m.
