Major Requirements
The special program for high school graduates is designed for qualified and motivated high school students who seek a career in veterinary medicine. The Integrated Pre Veterinary – Veterinary Program (INTEPREV) is an attempt to eliminate the sharp division between pre veterinary and veterinary education and also to shorten the time required for obtaining the Doctor of Veterinary (D.V.M) degree to six (6) years.
The program (INTEPREV) also allows the matriculation of students from around the world regardless of the individual variations of the educational system of their home country.
Students are selected for the program (INTEPREV) in the senior year of high school. There are no specific high school course requirements, but applicants are required to take either SAT, ACT or College Board examinations. Of great importance to the Admission Committee are such factors as interest in the humanities, sciences, evidence of intellectual curiosity and extracurricular activities.
The first year of the program is devoted to the study of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, English Composition, Medical Terminology and Spanish.
Here are K-State’s admissions requirements, established by the Kansas Board of Regents, the governing body for all state universities in Kansas.
If you graduated from an accredited high school and meet any one of these three criteria, you will be eligible for admission to K-State:
Score a 21 or higher composite score on the ACT or a 980 or higher on the SAT I, CR + M. Most students take the test in their junior or senior year of high school. Ask your high school counselor for a schedule of test dates.
Or rank in the top third of your graduating class.
Or complete the Kansas precollege curriculum with a 2.0 GPA.
Out-of-state residents must earn a 2.5 or higher GPA.
See the precollege curriculum

If you have encountered unusual situations that keep you from meeting the requirements, please contact the Office of Admissions. As many as 10 percent of new students may be offered admission based on other measures of their ability to succeed at K-State (KSA 76-717).
GED students
A score of 510 or higher on each subtest is required if you took the GED after January 1, 2002. If you took the GED before 2002, an average score of 50 or higher is required.
Transfer students
Students with 24 or more completed transfer hours must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 on all transfer course work.
Transfer students with fewer than 24 completed transfer hours must meet one of the three high school criteria listed above. In addition, a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA on all transfer work is required.
High school graduates 21 or older
Students who graduated from an accredited high school who are 21 or older must submit a final high school transcript or GED scores. If you have attempted any college or university course work, you must request that official transcripts be mailed or faxed to the K-State Office of Admissions.

Application Procedures
We welcome your application to The College of Wooster. Wooster has two parts to our application for admission. Part I begins the process and allows us to start learning about you, so we can better understand your needs and interests in the application process. Part II requires you to complete the Common Application. A copy of Part I and Part II of the application can be found on the Office of Admissions website at http://admissions.wooster.edu/apply/ or on the Common Application Web site at www.commonapp.org. You may also contact the Office of Admissions at 800-877-9905 to request either parts of the application. Please submit these materials online or through the mail by the appropriate deadlines.
Application Fee — A non-refundable application fee of $40 (waived for those who apply online) must be sent to the Office of Admissions by the stated application deadline. Checks or money orders should be made payable to The College of Wooster. If this fee represents a financial hardship, a guidance counselor may submit a College Board fee waiver, or a letter requesting a fee waiver, on the student’s behalf.
High School Transcript — A transcript should be furnished by the secondary school at the time the student makes application. A final transcript will be required at the end of the senior year and an interim transcript may be requested earlier in the senior year to monitor progress.
School Report — The school report form must be submitted by the applicant to his or her secondary school counselor, who should send the completed form to The College of Wooster before the application deadline.
Teacher Evaluation — At least one of the teacher evaluation forms should be given to a teacher who has taught the applicant in an academic subject within the last two years. The completed form should be returned by the teacher to The College of Wooster before the application deadline.
Admissions Tests — You are required to submit a report of your scores on either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) or the Assessment of the American College Testing (ACT) Program. Please have the scores sent directly from the testing service or be certain your test results are officially reported on your -secondary school -transcript. Wooster does not require SAT II subject tests, but we welcome test results as they are often helpful in the evaluation process. The CEEB code for The College of Wooster is 1134; the ACT code for Wooster is 3260.
Financial Aid — Over 90 percent of all students at The College of Wooster receive some form of financial aid. Applicants who are applying for need-based financial aid must complete two aid applications: the 2007-2008 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA); and either the CSS Financial Aid PROFILE or the Wooster Aid Application. Regular Decision candidates should use the Wooster Aid Application, but may choose the CSS PROFILE if they wish. The FAFSA may be obtained from secondary school guidance offices or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Additional information on need-based financial aid can be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid (800-877-3688).
Early Decision:
Applying Early Decision may be an ideal option if you are certain that Wooster is the only college you would like to attend. Early Decision Options I and II are considered binding so if you choose to apply under either of these options, you must sign and submit the Early Decision Agreement found on the Common Application website by the application deadline. By signing this form you are agreeing to enroll at Wooster and withdraw all other college applications if offered admission.
Early Decision candidates should take the SAT I or ACT by November of their senior year and have their scores sent to Wooster. Early Decision Option I candidates should submit their applications no later than December 1. Notification of acceptance is made by December 15. Early Decision Option II candidates should submit their applications no later than January 15. Notification of acceptance is made by February 1.
Tentative financial aid awards will be made shortly after offers of admission to Early Decision applicants who complete the CSS Financial Aid PROFILE for Wooster. Early Decision applicants should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1.
Regular Decision:
Students who choose this option may apply any time before February 15 of their senior year. Applications will be accepted after February 15, but priority for admission and financial assistance will be given to those applicants who meet the deadline. Candidates are notified of the admissions decision by April 1. If you are accepted and plan to enroll at Wooster, you must submit a $350 enrollment and security deposit by May 1.
Students are strongly encouraged to visit the campus and to talk with an admissions counselor before making a final college choice. Although not required, a visit permits the candidate to have an admissions interview, tour the campus, visit classes, and meet faculty and students.

Home-Schooled Students
In addition to the standard application requirements, home-schooled students are also required to interview with a Wooster admissions counselor. Home-schooled students should also submit detailed course descriptions and/or syllabi for academic work completed though the home-schooling program and two letters of recommendation, including one from a person who has provided academic instruction to the student and at least one from someone outside the student’s home.
Deferred Admission
For a variety of reasons, some students decide to delay their plans to attend Wooster for one year after their secondary school graduation. In such instances it is recommended that these students file their application papers during their senior year in order to insure an admission decision at that time. Should the student decide to defer admission, a deferment until the following year must be requested in writing to the Dean of Admissions. To secure a place in the class, the enrollment and security deposit must be submitted at the time the student requests to be deferred. Students must confirm in writing their intention to enroll no later than May 1, 2007.
Advanced Placement
The College Entrance Examination Board offers Advanced Placement Examinations in many subjects, and students may receive credit in some of these — see the statements Admission 203 on AP credit under individual department listings. Typically, a score of 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement test will result in credit. In some cases, credit may be given for a score of 3; students should consult the Registrar and the chair of the relevant department
Upon the applicant’s request at the time the examination is taken, papers and scores will be sent to the College. The College does not grant credit based on performance on the College Level Examination Program (CLEP).
Applications for admission to occupational endorsement programs are due no later than July 1 for the fall semester, or Nov. 1 for the spring semester.
