Utah State veterinary school hurries to select its first class

Having just a matter of weeks to decide admissions to its new veterinary college opening Aug. 11, Utah State University began accepting applications in late March, drawing more than 100 in the first week or so, according to the dean.

The school in Logan, Utah, is running nearly one year behind the standard timeline to accept veterinary school applications because it was waiting for a "letter of reasonable assurance" indicating that it's on target for accreditation by the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education.
