There are many great reasons to become a vet, and thousands of students secure coveted vet school acceptance letters each year. While most veterinary students enter at “traditional” ages (i.e., the early twenties, within a year or two of completing their undergraduate degree), a small but significant number of “non-traditional” older students also achieve acceptance. These non-traditional students may have completed most or all of the prerequisite courses while obtaining their undergraduate degree, but either chose not to pursue veterinary medicine at that time or did not gain acceptance and moved on to other career opportunities.
You may have heard that it's never too late to put an Animal Science degree back into play and apply to vet school, but is that really the case? Is it ever too late to go back to school and chase your dream? Let’s take a look at the statistics, pros, and cons of attending vet school as an older student.
While the majority of vet students do fall into the traditional age range, there are quite a few cases where older students are able to secure a coveted place in a veterinary class. In fact, most veterinary colleges have at least a few students over the age of 30, and some have students in their 40s or even 50s. Let’s take a look at a few examples from recently admitted classes in the United States:
The UC Davis veterinary class of 2018 ranges in age from 20 to 53, and their 2019 class ranges in age from 19 to 42. Michigan State’s veterinary class of 2019 has students ranging in age from 19 to 33. Iowa State’s veterinary class of 2018 has students from 21 to 40 years of age. University of Minnesota’s veterinary class of 2019 has a student age range of 21 to 44. Purdue University’s veterinary class of 2018 has students ranging in age from 20 to 37.
It really is never too late to pursue vet school if you truly have a desire to make it work. Older students should be fully cognizant of all the challenges that they will face. But they can take comfort from knowing that these challenges certainly haven’t stopped others in their 30s, 40s, and even 50s from seeking a new career in the field of veterinary medicine.
