  • A few DVM schools require the GRE general test and the Biology Subject test, which is only given three times each year using paper and pencil. Some veterinary schools will accept the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) or the GRE. As of April 2003, the VCAT test has been discontinued and therefore is not required by any veterinary medical schools.
