What the numbers say
Long Island University's veterinary college passed 90% of its NAVLE takers in 2024-2025, against 89% for all programs. The rates are as the school reports it in an FAQ that gives results by testing year and calls the comparison "All Programs". That put LIU 1 point above the All Programs figure, after a 3-point lead in 2023-2024, when the college posted 91% against 88%. The school posts just 2 testing years and does not describe either as a first-attempt rate; its own figure moved by 1 point between them. LIU states that its College of Veterinary Medicine holds Provisional Accreditation from the AVMA Council on Education, a status the page dates to April 16, 2020. Class size is set at 100 students per year, and IPEDS counts 100 DVM degrees conferred in 2024-25. Tuition for 2026-27 is $61,938 for a first-year student, the same amount the cost table lists for years 2 and 3. The final VMCAS submission deadline in the 2026-27 cycle is September 15, 2026; classes typically begin near the end of August, so check the program's page for the start date. The minimum overall GPA is set at 2.8, and the GRE is no longer required, though applicants may still submit scores. LIU's prerequisite courses are biology or zoology, general and organic chemistry with labs, biochemistry, genetics, statistics or calculus, and English composition. New York's median veterinarian wage in the BLS OEWS data for 2025 was $131,830.
