Members don't see this ad.

So sorry! I wish you the best! Theres always other schools and next year! just curious, did you get through academic review?

I did not get an interview if that's what you are asking.

Iowa State doesn’t interview anymore, so no one did.

I did not get an interview if that's what you are asking.

They are asking if on the Isu applicant data page ( the supplimental one with the message center) if you were put through to committee review or if you were just in academic review.

 

[emlady09]

Anyone else's still say none in the application status? Also, my science and last 45 GPA have not been calculated.

Same here. I submitted my application on 9/17 and it took 4 weeks to verify so im assuming that’s why mine is taking so long.

 

[Old-Country-Vet-Tech]

They are still working on it Ive heard due to the delay in the cycle. Keep positive!

Just academic review! Sorry about the confusion y'all.

Mine said none until recently and then was pushed to committee review very quickly (I think it was only in academic for a day). My science and last 45 were calculated when it was sent into academic review. As long as you have everything submitted, you should be fine, but if you're worried, I contacted them by phone and they were very nice and helpful.

Point of information on this, once you're moved into committee review your GPA and academic history are hidden from the committee. They rank you based on your experience, work history, recommendations, and personal development only. It's not until after they've ranked you based on this criteria that your GPAs are revealed (I'm assuming for final decisions). As someone with a strong application and below average GPA this gave me some relief.

Same! My essays, LORs, and experience is pretty strong. My GPA however is not. 🙁 But this definitely made me feel more confident!

May I ask where you got this information?

 

[coolkorbin]

GPA is still 50% of the decision according to their criteria.

I spoke with Kathy in admissions. My application had been in academic review for awhile so I called to check on it. While I had her on the phone I asked her if the committee uses the academic review info because of what was said on here previously. That's when she told me this. I don't know how the GPA comes back in but I do know that the committee will rank you before seeing your GPA.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing 🙂

 

[coolkorbin]

There are 2 separate scores the committees and the GPA both out of 50 I think. That is what it seemed from the evaluation they gave me after being waitlisted and not making it off the wait list last year.

The only gpas that count are science and last 45

I know. Those are equally weighted for that score.

Also for those who are in classes now, I was told that scores are recalculated in Feb before final decisions are made.

With the exception of ISU/UNL applicants (they go through a slightly different application timeline and usually receive decisions earlier), this is correct, yes.

 

[Em Exotic VM]

Trying to send you a DM about this.

For everyone asking questions about Iowa State,
I applied the end of July, I'm out of state, and I'm unsure whether or not I was in committee review before rejection! (I honestly applied and have been so nervous since I've just been waiting for e-mails).

It had to be just academic review because as long as you pass through that you are in committee review which doesn't send decisions until February

Yeap. Feb 15th, I believe.

If it's any consolation, they release the decisions pretty early in the morning haha. I think I got the notification at 6:30 on the morning of decision day (Feb 15).

In committee review as of a couple days ago! Fingers crossed!

 

[Trashcan Ghost]

So once in committee review, do you just stay there until February 15th?

To quote schoolhouse rock:
"Its a long long wait while you're sitting in committee"

 

[Trashcan Ghost]

Thanks. Now I'll just block myself from my application page for the next few months and pick up some hobbies. Any recommendations?

Dont do that because if they need to message you they do it there. However I'd binge netflix 😉

 

[Trashcan Ghost]

Any good shows worth watching? I've been rewatching Breaking Bad because I'm in... a "show hole". Bummer about the messaging, I was hoping I'd get an email notification.

 

[SkiOtter]

Ah yes but generally you’ll get an email if you get a portal message 😛

 

[SkiOtter]

You’ll get an email saying you have a message in your portal, so as long as it doesn’t go to spam or anything you’re good.

Castlevania is pretty good but a bit gory, even though its aimed at kids voltron was good. I hear Sabrina is actually pretty fun as well ( dark take on the 90s show).

Did you finish the second season of Castlevania? I saw the first one, and I have it on my Netflix list. If you saw it, what did you think? I really want to get to the Dracula film that was just added for this month .I've heard good things about it .

Im working on the second season 🙂 loved the first.

You'll have to let me know how you liked it. I couldn't believe how short the first season was but I guess when you figure in the technical details of the animation, they probably wanted to preseve costs before really committing to it. Then again, I don't know what an eight 30-minute episode second season tells us either. "Hey glad you liked it, here's some more, we guess?"

 

[SquirrelSam]

Does anyone else still see “None” as their application status? I did submit my application the last day and had to resubmit it later so I’m guessing that’s the reason why I haven’t had a status update. It’s still a bit worrying

 

[mypetmoose]

I recommend The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix! It is spooky but I like it! Only 10 episodes too!

I called to check on mine awhile back and they were very friendly. If you believe there's an error it doesn't hurt to call.

Unless they’ve changed things from last cycle, they prefer you message them on the portal versus calling or emailing.

 

[Cowlover99]

Did anybody get to committee review without ever being in academic review? My application status went from none to committee review and I still have no GPAs calculated.

Mine did the same thing, I had emailed them way before my status changed and they told me that I probably wouldn’t see the status change from none to academic review instead it would go straight to committee and the only GPA I had calculated was my cumulative

 

[Cbabcock22]

And freak out every time you get an email like this hahaha. This is my second app with Iowa State and am currently a masters student in the vet school If anyone has questions about that program.

 

[imdyinscoob]

I had used the messaging system and asked about my application status saying “none” and I got a reply from Kathy saying she has to have academic reviews for everyone done this week

Also woo I passed academic review lol

I am NOT a horror person and end up watching Hill House in broad daylight with my hands half-covering my face but this show is sooo good I can’t help it. It has a really good storyline outside of the “scares” and the filming is beautiful. Highly recommend (just don’t watch it alone at night)
