**Important NOTE: In 2024-25, VMCVM is transitioning to a competency-based admissions process that requires competencies in four domains: interpersonal, intrapersonal, scientific, and humanities, social and behavioral science competencies. While the latter two can be largely demonstrated through the below coursework, the first two require performing well on situational judgment tests and multiple mini-interviews. See their website for much more information on their expectations.
