The study was intended to determine whether North American veterinary schools/colleges apply admissions criteria differently to applicants with practice versus non-practice career goals.
A written questionnaire with seven queries on admissions criteria was sent to the associate deans for academic affairs at each of the 31 North American veterinary schools/colleges.
Questionnaires were completed and returned by 25 of the 31 institutions. The responses were summarized and individual comments were compiled. For veterinary and animal experience, similar amounts but different types of experiences were acceptable to most institutions for applicants with practice versus non-practice career goals. The required pre-veterinary course work was not different for the two groups of applicants. The backgrounds of mentors providing written evaluations were often allowed to be different for the two groups of applicants. The responses expected in applicant interviews were different for the two groups for queries related to veterinary and career experiences and knowledge of specific career areas but were similar for various basic qualities and skills expected of all applicants.
Although institutions vary, North American veterinary schools/colleges tend to apply admissions criteria differently to applicants with practice versus non-practice goals, except for pre-veterinary course requirements.
本研究旨在确定北美兽医院校对有实践经历与无实践经历职业目标的申请者在录取标准上是否有不同的应用。
一份包含七个关于录取标准问题的书面调查问卷被发送给了31所北美兽医院校的学术事务副院长。
31所院校中有25所完成并返还了问卷。对回复进行了总结，并汇编了个人意见。对于兽医和动物相关经历，大多数院校对于有实践经历与无实践经历职业目标的申请者，可接受的经历数量相似，但类型不同。两组申请者所需的兽医预科课程并无差异。为两组申请者提供书面评估的导师背景通常可以不同。在申请者面试中，对于与兽医和职业经历以及特定职业领域知识相关的问题，两组的预期回答不同，但对于所有申请者都期望具备的各种基本素质和技能，回答相似。
尽管各院校情况不同，但北美兽医院校倾向于对有实践经历与无实践经历目标的申请者在录取标准上区别对待，除了兽医预科课程要求。
