Does anybody know what the deal is with Colorado? The message on their website says that the supplemental application is supposed to go live mid July and yet it still hasn't. Que pasa?😕

I'm an idiot. I read the note underneath ("NOTE: This is last year’s application (2007) and has been posted for reading, planning and printing only!") Please disregard.

Good luck!

Have any of you guys started the online supplemental app. for CSU yet? For some reason, whenever I press Save and Refresh, it says System Error...am i the only one experiencing this problem or are you guys seeing it too?

I haven't worked on it today, but the other day it was working all right for me.

Hey, stop bumping this thread up! It's embarrassing to show off my dumb question.

Anyway, I was working on it yesterday and had no problem. What browser are you using? I use Firefox and it was fine.

hahaha sorrie! um..im using internet explorer, using Windows Vista *not sure if that makes the difference or not*** hm...

Well, I don't know too much about this sort of thing, but I do know that people blame a lot of stuff on Vista. It's supposedly very buggy. If it still happens, you could always email yourself or save on a disc, your essay answers and then fill out the app on a friends puter.

CSU's supp. is up for me. OK state hasn't shown theirs yet.....available mid-summer it says....

I'm debating on applying to CSU. Do they really look at non-trads seriouslly??? I don't want to waste my $$ if I have no shot.

I think it depends on what you've been doing over the past few years. I know of 2 non-trads who got in this past year but had extensive animal/ veterinary/ research/ life experiences. Due to the holistic approach CSU has decided to take in determining their class, I would think it definitely possible to get in as a non-trad.

I can only speak of my personal case. But I was accepted this year. I'm 36 now and I was out of school for 10+ years before going back to pursue vet med. I worked as a paralegal during much of that time. Also I was always involved in some sort of animal volunteer work during that time. I just used the explanation essay to show how the skills I gained as a paralegal would transfer to vet med.

I agree with QTKitty that the holistic approach is probably conducive to non-trads. So if you would be happy at CSU, it just might be worth a try.

by some miracle, i got in to CSU too, but as a dvm/phd - and i'm very non-trad (as nearly everyone already knows). however, i was told that CSU took only ~30 out of staters and had 1200 out of state apps last cycle.

Wildfocus does bring up a point. I applied for the DVM/MBA program so they may look at things a little differently for the combined program. They took 6 students into the program this year. I met three of the others tonight and two were non-trad. Certainly there are a large number of applicants for few spots. But don't necessarily let that stop you. Decide if you can financially afford to apply. And if it really would be a dream come true to get in. Somebody has to be those 30 OOS accepted and who's to say it can't be you?!

My general GRE score sucks, so I probably won't apply, just curious. I can look up the numbers, but I know some schools will look a little differently at some things off the record.
