2024 already? Gah, I feel old.

Anyway, I'm no longer there, but I attended ISU-CVM for about two years (I was c/o 2020) and can answer questions if you've got any.

Why did you attend for only 2 years?
 
If anyone has submitted and been verified by VMAS, as well as submitted the supplemental app, did you VMCAS application status change yet? I submitted about two weeks ago and was just wondering how long it too for the status to change to "received"
 
Did anyone have trouble paying the processing fee online? I've tried twice and it keeps telling me to try again later
 
I wish there was a way to show them you applied last year online instead of mailing it.
 
Hey! For the supplemental application are we only supposed to put high school / college related events?
For example if I volunteered with a Fire Dept. that was not related to my high school should I list that?
 
Hi all! Does Iowa accept online chemistry labs to fulfill the prerequisites? I'm hoping to take one offered by the University of New England in the Spring

I don't believe it has to be school related, rather it just needs be an activity you participated in during those years.

I did the same thing and it wasn't much. Shoot.

Misery loves company 😉. I did email them about it but I haven't heard anything back yet. Hopefully it won't make TOO big of a difference since my app did list those activities. (This is me trying not to panic about this mistake).

I also listed only school-related activities on the supplemental when I applied several years ago and didn't have any issue receiving an interview and a later offer of admission from ISU. It's nowhere near a make or break deal.

Thank you for your reassurance, this does make me feel better.
 
How long after submitting your applications on vmcas did it show up in the Iowa portal?
 
Is the cumulative GPA posted on the portal undergrad only?
 
My portal shows my GPA however it does not say my VMCAS app was received yet. Has this happened to anyone else?

Mine says Received for both the VMCAS and Supplemental, and I submitted on the last day, very close to the deadline. Only my cumulative GPA has been calculated though.

I messaged them yesterday and they updated it today to show my app was received so I'm not sure what happened.

I checked mine out of curiosity. I submitted August 19th and only my cumulative GPA has been calculated as well.
 
I submitted mine August 14th and just checked. Everything is good on my end and they uploaded all of my gpas. Now it’s seriously just the waiting game.
 
I still only have cumulative GPA calculated with an application status that says none, I did submit closer to the cycle closing for my VMCAS (submitted 9/7, verified 9/12) and 10 days before cycle closing for my supplemental so I'm not really expecting anything for a handful of weeks.

I submitted on August 29th and my portal says all of this as well.
 
My application status changed to In Academic Review today! (I submitted on 8/19 and was verified 8/23)
 
Today my required science GPA and last 45 GPA have been entered and my status is now in committee review!
 
Does it typically go academic review --> committee review? I assume academic review is reviewing your science, last 45, etc, and committee review is assuming you made it past the academic portion and they look at you holistically?

Yes, that’s correct.

Beyond that, the next step is admit/deny/waitlist?

Since they no longer do interviews (with the exception of UNL/ISU applicants), yes. In the past, decisions have gone out in early-mid February. That said, since the process has been streamlined a lot, that general timeframe might not be accurate anymore.

This happened when I applied, as well; if your portal is showing you as being in Committee Review, then you’ve passed Academic Review. Your GPAs just may not have been updated in the portal yet.

That’s promising! Hopefully it’s still the same.

Per their website, “notification of final application status - admit, alternate, deny will be given no later than February 15, 2020.”
