Iowa State c/o 2023 applicants

[Trashcan Ghost]

So applying for the first time, do schools offer any feedback on your application/can you request any feedback? I'd imagine that they wouldn't.

It depends on the school. For example Missouri said they would only do that if you got to the interview stage but Wisconsin gave a number to call to set up a application review!

ISU will do a file review with you, you will fill out the file review application and Kathy will send you it over email sometime this summer

[scags]

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN DUN NA NA NA

I really wanted to wake up tomorrow and have an email that my portal was updated

 

[SquirrelSam]

I was looking forward to a 6am update. At least they were nice enough to send us an email informing us of when to check our portal so we’re not glued to the page all day (even though I’ll still be checking every 5mins tomorrow)

 

[rimfree]

And in my compulsive brain, “evening” could be like anytime after noon

 

[Old-Country-Vet-Tech]

Im trying to stay positive

My UWM rejection letter is lost in the snow so all I’ve got left are ISU and OVC.

Do you know for sure its a rejection?

Hi ISU hopefuls! ISU-CVM Student Recruitment here. Any questions I can answer for you while you wait? (28ish hours and counting...)

 

[SquirrelSam]

Do you know for sure its a rejection?

Not for sure but the people with higher stats and more experience than me were rejected so I’m pretty sure

 

[rimfree]

The APVMA page on Facebook verified it will most likely be after 5 pm for status updates tomorrow

 

[Ag_2016]

That doesn’t mean it’s a rejection. Schools don’t only look at stats. Otherwise they wouldn’t ask for essays and LORs. Don’t count yourself out comparing yourself to others.

Hello Do you know how many applicants are in committee review and how many will be wait list, acceptance, or rejection?

 

[IowaStateCVM]

Hello Do you know how many applicants are in committee review and how many will be wait list, acceptance, or rejection?

We had around 1200 applicants in committee review this year. We'll admit 130 students to fill our class (156 including students from our 2+2 program with Nebraska). We'll have numbers of waitlisted students tomorrow. Remember, the waitlist at ISU moves fairly quickly as students accept or decline their offer!

Do you begin to admit waitlist students prior to the national acceptance day?

Thank you for taking the time to answer questions.
Do you know if the number of applicants was significantly higher from last cycle?

 

[IowaStateCVM]

Do you begin to admit waitlist students prior to the national acceptance day?

We will! If students decline their offer, we'll start pulling people off our waitlist. We encourage students who have made the decision to go to another school to let us know as soon as they're able so that the waitlisted students can get some good news.

Thank you for all this helpful information! Will we have a waitlist ranking tomorrow, or will our waitlist ranking come later on?

Because our waitlist changes quickly in the beginning, we typically wait to assign a number until mid-March. When our waitlist is ranked, students will receive their rank and the number of total applicants on the waitlist (39/500 for example).

 

[IowaStateCVM]

Yes! We had around 1200 total applicants (~1000 qualified) last year. This year, we had 1500 total applicants with ~1200 qualified applicants being reviewed by our committee.

I feel honored to be in committee review thanks for the information. I appreciate you taking the time to put our minds at ease and make this hard wait a little easier.

I really hope decisions don’t come out until tomorrow night. I have an interview at Minnesota tomorrow and would hate to possibly get rejected before the interview

Hi. Do you know how many males applied and how many typically get accepted?

 

[SquirrelSam]

Today’s the day I’ve been up since 5 checking the portal even though I know they won’t update for another 11ish hours

 

[ajs513]

Hi. Do you know how many males applied and how many typically get accepted?

Here’s a good link for that. Looks like historically they’ve accepted a lot of males, but that’s gone down a lot in the past few years. Class Profiles | Iowa State University
