Don't we get either accepted, waitlisted, or denied by the 15th of February? I didn't think I made that date up, so I wanted to make sure haha.

Yes! Feb 15th is the day to hear about a full decision.

Anyone else felt like February took forever to get here!?! Happy Feb 1st and decision month ya'll!!

I messaged them through the portal and they said that updated GPAs should show up in the portal by next mon/tues, if not sooner!

 

[BiodegradableThoughts]

I emailed Ms. Kuehl about the updated GPAs/transcripts...she emailed me back said they were running behind on processing Fall transcripts and that everything should be accurate by sometime next week.

 

[Chqu22]

Mine was received 12/22 but the GPAs haven't been updated yet either

My GPAs were updated!

 

[dogtortori]

My transcripts were received 12/22 and my GPAs are still not updated. I feel like it’s a sign they don’t want me

 

[DVMHopeful2027]

I wonder if it makes a difference or not regarding how they ranked your application, mine were received and updated before Christmas.

 

[BorderCollies&Lattes]

Just checked the portal and my GPA was updated!

 

[allycatsncows]

I really hope that’s not the case. I didn’t send my transcripts until January though

It’s not the case. Ms Kuehl from admissions said they wait until all grades are updated to make the ranked list and I just emailed her and she said they were running behind on everything. I don’t think they will penalize anybody for submitting in January instead of December…. As long as it’s received by the deadline.

Just saw the portal message 🫠

Decision Date Delayed

Now will be on Feb 22

 

[MayaFaye]

Just saw the portal message 🫠

What is it about? I got the email but I’m stuck at work until 6pm and I don’t know my password

 

[beepboopbop1]

I feel like so many schools have delayed admission decisions this year!

 

[Alicat9152]

Yay... 😶😮‍💨 well we've waited this long what's another 2 weeks

 

[studentdogtorm]

Just saw the portal message 🫠

Same :/ every notification still gives me a heart attack though. I wonder why they are delayed.

Yikes ‍‍

 

[Alicat9152]

Decisions delayed till Feb 22nd after 5pm

They're not the only school to have delayed admissions this cycle. I think that there are many more applicants than anticipated.

.

I appreciate the update, but my poor nerves...

 

[beepboopbop1]

Anyone's GPAs still not updated? 😔

 

[dogtortori]

Anyone's GPAs still not updated?

Nope, still not updated since 12/22. I’ve already accepted that they don’t want me 🫠

 

[BiodegradableThoughts]

They pushed the decision date back one week so they’ll probably have everything updated by the end of this week

 

[Kodiak-Bear]

My GPAs just got updated!

 

[Alicat9152]

Same here 🙂

 

[beepboopbop1]

Mine too!

 

[BiodegradableThoughts]

Does anybody know the breakdown for admissions criteria? Like how much GPA, experiences, statements, etc. factor into the final decision?

It’s on their website for selection criteria and what percentage they calculate each section.

 

[goldenretrieverenergy]

My GPAs were updated! Do we know if they make decisions regarding our academic score after the GPAs are updated?

 

[Brittany Kaplowitz]

Hi everyone! Second time applicant OOS. I was wondering if anyone also received an email from the school on their birthday? (my birthday was last month) Mine said something like "Can't wait to spend the next 4 years celebrating with you!" I just found it odd wording since decisions aren't out

My birthday was in December and I didn't get anything so this is interesting

 

[Brittany Kaplowitz]

It was super weird and I was extremely confused

 

[goldenretrieverenergy]

Mine was in February and I didn’t get anything either.

 

[dogtormanda25]

3 days everyone!! First time applicant to Iowa OOS, second time applicant to vet school overall. I have had 9 rejections and 1 interview so far this cycle so I am hoping for the best here 🥲🥲

I got that email on my birthday in December!

 

[Bostiegirl29]

Now that worries me about the birthday emails 😭 mine was last month and I didn't get anything.

I was assuming it was just an automated message. But I wouldn’t worry too much about it!

 

[calciferlog]

Anyone else’s GPAs still not updated? 🥲

I received a birthday email in August before I submitted my app. I think they just use who's in the database/ has reached out for info. I don't think it comes from the vet school specifically.

Is anyone else just ready to get an answer already? Lol I’m ready to check the dreaded portal Wednesday. Do we have an idea what time? I was assuming by the end of the business day?

My birthday is tomorrow 🫣 I was hoping to avoid this but then they pushed the date back. 🤞🏻 they give me the birthday present I’m wishing for 😅

 

[BiodegradableThoughts]

Crazy to think that in about 24 hours from now, we’re all gonna know if we got in or not. Good luck to everyone!!! I’m manifesting for us all

 

[morgan2000]

Anyone know what time decisions went out in previous cycles? I know they said after 5pm

When you put it like that…. 😅 I’m having margaritas while waiting for that email!

 

[Alicat9152]

I asked my friend who applied last year and she said she got her's around 6p

 

[MintyMoose]

Are decisions going out after 5pm central time or eastern time?

 

[MMLJT3]

Are decisions going out after 5pm central time or eastern time?

I believe it is central time. I received an email to login to the portal last cycle at 5:17 CST.
