Iowa State C/O 2027 Applicants

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi everyone! I am an ISU CVM alum and am happy to answer any questions you may have about vet school, life in Ames, etc! I can try to answer questions about admissions, but things have changed quite a bit since I applied so not sure how helpful I'd be in that aspect. Either way, best of luck to all of you this cycle! 😀

Hi everyone! I am a first time in-state applicant. Non-traditional student. Wishing everyone the best of luck this cycle!!
 
OOS 1st time, and my application status says none. Everything else has been received and calculated though except for my science GPA.
Ironically everything of mine has been received and my science GPA has been calculated but not my overall GPA lol
 
All my GPAs have been calculated and I am in review

mine was like this for a while and today i checked and now both GPAs are calculated! I have a “in progress” requirement so in my head i chalked it up to that. I am also now “in review”.
 
I’m not sure why mine says they haven’t received my VMCAS application yet 🙁
I would definitely send a message through your status page and make sure they have everything they need. I know they have to go in and manually update each person's page.
 
So sorry to hear that ! Do you mind sharing what they said the GPA cutoff was? Just want to prepare myself 😅
my science gpa was calculated at a 2.93 and it said i did not meet the cutoff. i did not receive an email or anything, i just happened to check so if anyone here might have a similar GPA I would check the portal ASAP.

did you have any pending pre-reqs? mine is very similar and i didn’t get told i didn’t meet a cut off

I calculated my prereq GPA assuming that I get an A in my 3 credit pending course and it would put me at a 3.02 required science, 3.63 last 45. I wonder if the cut off is set at 3.0 this year? I know it fluctuates from year to year

I graduated a few years ago and all of my pre reqs are completed. the cut off this year must just be a 3.0 science gpa

I had Donna calculate my sGPA with their calculator and it was about 3.1 so hopefully that still stands when admissions calculate it? Not sure.
 
I’m confused about the posts regarding gpa cutoffs…mine have been calculated in the portal for awhile now. My science is a 2.85 but my application still says in review?
 
My application status still says none /: only my last 45 units gpa has been calculated but not my pre-req gpa ugh does anybody else’s look like that?

mine also looks like this, I also submitted my app on the last day though, so I don't know if that's why my pre-req GPA hasn't been calculated yet

do you have pending prereqs?
 
Nope no pending courses, I graduated already with everything completed.
Did you put down anything under exceptional circumstances? That's the only other thing I can think of, or else maybe something really stood out in your app
