In the United States, you need to apply after completing all the pre-requisite classes. On the application, you will need to provide a complete transcript of your classwork, how much experience working with animals and working with veterinarians you have, and a compelling statement detailing why you should be accepted to vet school.
The applications are first screened for GPA, test scores, completeness and general suitability - a number of applicants are cut at this point because they don't have competitive GPAs or test scores. The remaining applicants are interviewed by veterinarians and their recommendation letters and essays are also reviewed. The best qualified applicants are offered a seat in the class and the remaining applicants are put on a wait list - if someone declines a seat in the class, the next person on the wait list is offered the seat.

The difference stems from the origin of the Penn School of Veterinary Medicine as the Veterinary Department of the Medical School.
