Admittance to vet school in the United States is more competitive than admittance to medical school - there are only about 1200 seats available each year in the entire country.
You have to demonstrate significant prior knowledge of veterinary medicine through a combination of veterinary experience hours and animal experience hours.
You typically must have at least two veterinarians write letters of recommendation for you - some schools require three letters of recommendation from veterinarians.
