For adults and those who have studied before2

Admission to D.V.M. (4 years) - for holders of bachelor's degrees in the fields listed(our wording)

You must study for a bachelor's degree at a university in Israel in one of the following fields: agriculture (except the departments of Hotel Management, Food Resources and Tourism, and Environmental Economics and Management), medicine, dentistry, basic medical sciences, medical laboratory sciences, pharmacy, biotechnology, psychobiology, natural sciences (except mathematics and departments taught as part of the School of Engineering and Computer Science). A psychometric exam score of at least 600 and a grade of 80 or higher in each course listed in the Applicant Guide.

Students directly to the second year

In rare cases, the School admits students directly into the second year. When a place becomes available in the class, the School considers admitting a high-achieving student who has studied for at least 2 years at a veterinary school abroad.
To be admitted this way, the student must meet all the admission requirements for the first year and must also have studied abroad the courses taught in the first year at the Koret School of Veterinary Medicine.

These are minimum requirements: meeting them does not by itself guarantee admission.

The requirements are in the institution's words. Names and labels marked "our wording" are our own, written from the same page.
