2 weeks between program selection and VMCAS submission!

There is no single formula for admission... no perfect number of hours, major, or list of experiences.

Focus on becoming the strongest, most authentic version of yourself instead of trying to recreate someone else’s application. Other applicants may have more hours, different experiences, or a different background, but comparison will not strengthen your application.

Tell your story, reflect on what you have learned, and highlight the experiences that have shaped your goals and perspective.

: Liv Keaton joins the Harvey S. Peeler Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine as the receptionist and administrative assistant. Keaton will be the first person that visitors, students, faculty and staff see when they walk through the college’s doors. Keaton is helping to create a welcoming environment, bringing warmth and a passion for helping people as the team prepares to educate South Carolina’s next generation of veterinarians.

Keaton earned a bachelor’s degree in history and public policy from Southern Wesleyan University before gaining experience in a variety of customer-facing roles. Most recently, she spent the latter half of 2025 as a PhotoPass photographer at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, where she honed her ability to engage with guests from all walks of life. Combined with her background in theatre, those experiences prepared her for a role centered on communication and service. What ultimately drew Keaton to Clemson was the people.

“Everyone on the team is so kind and welcoming,” she said. “It feels good being a part of such a great group of people who are passionate about this college’s mission to help fulfill the need for veterinarians here in South Carolina.”

As the college continues to grow, Keaton looks forward to building relationships with the people who make up the Clemson community.

For years, it was a vision for Clemson University and the state of South Carolina. On August 17, that vision became reality.

The Harvey S. Peeler Jr., College of Veterinary Medicine (PCVM) welcomed its inaugural Doctor of Veterinary Medicine class. These 80 students (60 in-state and 20 out-of-state) hold a unique place in Clemson’s history as the first students to begin their journey toward becoming veterinarians. The Class of 2030 officially began its journey with the college’s first-ever orientation, followed by the first day of class and the inaugural White Coat Ceremony on Saturday, August 22.

“This is a moment that has been dreamed about, planned for and worked toward for many years,” said Founding Dean Steven Marks. “As we welcome our inaugural class of veterinary students, we are doing more than opening the doors to a new college. We are beginning a legacy that will shape Clemson University, the state of South Carolina and the veterinary profession for generations to come.”

Here's a look at more photos from last Saturday's White Coat Ceremony, reception and campus tours. The Harvey S. Peeler Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine (PCVM) at Clemson University marked another historic milestone Saturday as students in its inaugural Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) class received their white coats during the college’s first White Coat Ceremony.

The ceremony formally welcomed the 80 students of the Class of 2030 into the veterinary profession and celebrated the beginning of a journey that will help shape the future of veterinary medicine in South Carolina and beyond.

“This is more than a milestone for our students,” Founding Dean Steven Marks said. “It is a milestone for Clemson University, for the state of South Carolina and for the veterinary profession. We are beginning something that will serve our state for generations to come.”

Following the ceremony, students and guests attended a reception and then enjoyed PCVM campus tours in the afternoon.

3 weeks between program selection and VMCAS submission!

Your experiences don’t have to happen in a veterinary clinic to matter.

Leadership, customer service, research, athletics, agriculture, tutoring, retail jobs, and community service can all help you develop skills that are valuable in veterinary medicine.

Think beyond the title of an experience and focus on what you gained from it. Did you strengthen your communication skills? Learn to work as part of a team? Develop resilience, responsibility, problem-solving, or time management?

When preparing your veterinary school application, make the connection between what you’ve done and the competencies you’ve developed along the way.

Every experience has the potential to prepare you for what comes next.
