What the numbers say

Texas A&M passed 96% of the 161 students who sat the NAVLE in the class of 2025, against a national rate of 89%. That is as the school reports it, with a Texas A&M Pass Rate column next to a National Pass Rate column for each class year and no word on whether only first attempts count. That 7-point margin had been 13 points in 2023, and the school stayed above the national column in all 5 classes from 2021 to 2025. Rates of 99% were tied across the classes of 2021, 2023 and 2024 for the highest on the table. At 96%, the class of 2025 marked the low point, 3 points below the year before. The school lists its AVMA accreditation status as full. IPEDS counts 162 DVM degrees conferred in 2024-25; no entering class size is printed. Applicants file through TMDSAS, plus a supplemental application, by Monday, August 31, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. CDT. GPA minimums are 2.90 overall, 3.10 for the last 45 semester hours and 2.9 in science, and the GRE is not required for now.

Median earnings for graduates of veterinary medicine at Texas A&M were $121,866 1 year after completion for those finishing in 2020-21 and 2021-22, and $140,787 4 years after completion for 2017-18 and 2018-19, per College Scorecard.
