On Campus Pre-Vet Presentations & Tours

Overview

These two-hour programs are open to all who are interested in a veterinary medicine career. They include a presentation by the director of admissions and a student-guided tour of the college. Guests of pre-vet students are welcome to attend the presentation and participate on the tour.

• The presentation covers information about the DVM curriculum, how to prepare for a future application, an overview of the application process, ways to strengthen an application, careers in veterinary medicine, and financial aid.
• The tour is a guided walk-through of the educational facilities and some of our clinical spaces, like the Companion Animal Hospital. These are the only tours offered of the college; we do not offer individual tours.

Registration

Spaces are limited for this program, and we ask each attendee to limit their guests to one adult to allow more students to attend. 

Waitlist

If you are interested in a tour marked “Full,” email vet_admissions@cornell.edu and ask to be put on the waitlist. Include the date you are interested in attending and if you are bringing a guest. Cancelations are frequent, and those on the waitlist can often attend.
