What the numbers say
Illinois posted an 88% NAVLE pass rate for 24-25, the lowest of the 5 years on its outcomes table. The rate is as the school reports it, with a year label such as 24-25 and no takers count, comparison group or first-attempt note. That sits 2 points below the 90% listed for 23-24. The 20-21 figure of 96% is the peak, and the latest rate is 8 points lower than that. In between, 21-22 came in at 89% and 22-23 at 92%. After a COE site visit in November 2021 the college was again afforded full accreditation, it states, and the next visit is scheduled for March 21-25, 2027. Approximately 160 students are accepted each year, and IPEDS records 131 DVM degrees conferred in 2024-25. Illinois residents pay $33,600 in tuition for 2026-27, an annual figure. VMCAS applications for the 2026-27 cycle are due September 15, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. Applicants need a cumulative GPA of 3.00 and a VMCAS science GPA of 3.00; the GRE is optional, counting only if a student shares scores. Plan A sets a minimum of 8 semester hours of biological sciences with labs, 15 of chemical sciences spanning inorganic, organic and biochemistry, and 8 of physics with labs. Illinois veterinarians earned a median $133,580 in May 2025, according to BLS.
