Hey everyone!
I'm really considering KState for vet school. I've been doing research and like the curriculum and think I could live in Manhattan for 4 years while in veterinary school. But I stumbled upon this article (http://cjonline.com/news/2013-03-10/dean-k-state-veterinary-school-discusses-enrollment-numbers) which basically says that Kansas favors more OOS applicants vs. their IS because fewer of their IS qualify for positions than the number for OOS. I'm NOT saying I believe this; my basis relies solely on this article. So my concern is, if somehow it is true that KState (I'm not saying that all are from KState, they could be from any other Kansas college, but good a number of them could be) does not produce as many applicants whom the school feels are prepared for veterinary school, does this at all impact their veterinary program? Another way to phrase this is, can the "fewer numbers of qualified IS applicants" that the schools produce, reflect how good their vet school is? I could be wrong, but this is how I interpreted the article.
I would appreciate any advice. Current KState students, please give me your honest opinions on the school, lifestyle, professors, curriculum, etc. What are your favorite things about Manhattan/campus life? And do you have any input on my question? If you had acceptances elsewhere, why did you choose KState?
Thanks in advance!
