Mine still does not say anything regarding application status.
Remember, they don’t interview so they don’t send decisions until mid-February. You could message and ask if it’ll ease your mind, but my guess is they’re still working through apps.Mine still does not say anything regarding application status.
From my understanding, tracking begins in third year but you can take LA or SA electives in years 1/2
We do not do tracking. If you have personal interests in any area you mainly get that advanced knowledge/experience through your electives and clubs. When you reach your fourth year clinical year that’s when you pick whether you will be tracking large, mixed, or small animal medicine. But even though say you track exclusively small animal medicine you still take a couple required large animal rotations.
Their email confused me a bit but I like that too. I have had a high percentage of clients of my vet also want us to look at barn dogs and cats. Everyone should know a bit of both.
NAVLE covers all animals, so you’ve got to know pigs, cattle, horses, dogs, cats, etc to pass and practice medicine! Even if you never see anything outside your area of specialization.
That sounds really cool! What drew you to that program/how did you hear about it? What do you like/dislike about it? What kind of material does it cover?
I did the program as well last year and graduated this past may! i believe i have spoken to you on facebook @Cbabcock22 now that I see your profile picture lol
Iowa State doesn’t use cumulative beyond making sure you meet their 2.5 minimum! 🙂
Dont feel bad my cumGPA sucked due to hardships but my science and last 45 were close to what they have for their avg accepted so heres hoping.
haha no i wish. I talked to Kathy in admissions and she said earliest we will hear anything is February and we should know by Feb 15th.
If you send fall they will be on it. Send a message they will respond ASAP.
From my understanding, after you are put into committee review, they will review your application and experiences without your grades (that way they don't let grades affect their view on you). After, the last thing they look at are your academics to finish your score. Academics are still a large part of your score. I'm pretty sure they only look at your Science GPA and last 45 credit GPA. They don't see any individual grades or cumulative grades.
Bless my two 4.0 semesters my gpa for last 45 went from 3.3 to 3.5. Iowa is one of the few schools I have hope for.
One more month and we will know our fates!!
Apparently it can be earlier but april 1st is the last day for status ( accepted, waitlist etc.)
On the website it said april 1st was the very latest date. I think we will hear back before then. ISU definately we will and looking at last years we should know final descisions by March?
That is correct, yes, with the one notable exception of UNL/ISU applicants (they typically find out earlier).
Aha secret cabal found!
I sent mine in the 20th of dec by snail mail. Isu got them 26th and it was updated shortly after.
Probably which makes it hard and more competitive in the long run for the folks they were trying to make it more holistic for ( low income, diverse applicants, non trad, 1st gen etc.) But it is what it is. Im already planning next years app because im pessimistic about my chances. I want to hope for good outcomes at my last three and I do hope but this cycle has really kicked me in the behind.
