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?

I’ve told the story quite a few times since I left; if you’re really interested, you can look through my post history. I’d rather not derail and spoil an admissions/applicants thread with it.
OOS applicant, first time applying, crossing my fingers for all of us this upcoming cycle!
Hi Class of 2024 hopefuls! We're hosting an Application Workshop on Saturday, May 25 from 9:00am-12:00pm to answer your questions about applying to ISU-CVM. You can attend in-person or on-line via webinar. Click here for details and sign-up info.
OOS 2nd time applying
2nd time applying to Iowa. They were not shy about what I needed to fix in my application and im happy about it.
Hello everyone! Second time applicant, first time applicant to Iowa OOS. Who else is applying?

Hi guys! I will be starting my first year at ISU CVM this fall so let me know if you have any questions about the school or the application process 🙂
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"
2nd time applicant, but 1st time to Iowa (OOS)
Submitted my supplemental yesterday!

Application submitted!
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.
Dang it. I just listed school related and not activities participated in during those years, bummer.

Good-luck everyone!! Keep me updated when you get any news back!
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).
Thank you for your reassurance, this does make me feel better.
It took about 1.5 weeks for me

That's what it seems like
According to their website "Applicants for admissions to the College of Veterinary Medicine must have an undergraduate cumulative GPA of 2.50 on a 4.00 scale" so maybe that is why. Advertisement - Members don't see this ad

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.

Same here (and I submitted August 29th)
Is anyone in academic or committee review yet?
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.
Just went into committee review today! I never went into academic review, so I guess I bypassed it. I submitted 9/3 and verified 9/10.
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? Or would you not even go into committee review if they were going to deny you?
I'm in committee review, but I don't have my science or last 45 GPAs calculated yet

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.”
