What the numbers say
Purdue publishes what it calls the PVM ultimate pass rate percentage for the NAVLE, with no comparison group, and does not describe it as a first-attempt figure. As the school reports it, that rate reached 95% for 2026, 2 points higher than the 93% listed for 2025. Across the 5 years in its table the rate stayed between 92% and 95%, with 2022 and 2024 tied at the bottom and 2026 ending 3 points above 2022. Purdue's page gives its current accreditation status as accredited with minor deficiencies in Standard 3, physical facilities and equipment, and Standard 9, curriculum. IPEDS counts 74 DVM degrees conferred in 2024-25, and the program page gives no entering class size. The DVM lasts 4 years, and applications go entirely through VMCAS, with no supplemental form. VMCAS closes for the 2026-27 cycle on September 15, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Purdue needs a GPA of at least 3.10 to consider an applicant, and it does not require the GRE. College Scorecard puts median earnings at $114,064 1 year after completion for graduates of Purdue's veterinary medicine program who finished in 2020-21 and 2021-22. For the 2017-18 and 2018-19 finishers, College Scorecard shows $123,596 4 years after completion among graduates of the same field. BLS puts the May 2025 median wage for veterinarians in Indiana at $124,530.
