ISU 2024-2025 (c/o 2029 hopefuls)

[ACDinosaur]

So weird thing, my calculated pre-req GPA is different than what they calculated it as last year. I haven't taken any other science courses since then. It's very strange.

Same thing happened to me.

OOS acceptance 🙂

 

[Squirrel Girl]

OOS alternate. I’m on four waitlists now, but at least I still have a chance? 😭

Ugh I really hope you get pulled from one soon!!!!

 

[Squirrel Girl]

OOS acceptance!

So happy for you, VHug!

I am on the waitlist. This was my third time applying to them. Last 45 - 3.46 and science - 3.28. 6,000+ hours of varied vet experience. Here’s to those waitlisted and hoping for a good rank!

 

[lizardman]

Congratulations to everyone accepted and on the alternate list! ISU's OOS waitlist is known to move quickly, so alternates do still have a good shot— I and many of my classmates were accepted off the list last year. I'll see some of you around at the preview days 🙂

 

[dogtorelgan]

Does anyone know if there’s any movement before the April 15th deadline?

 

[nicoledoesvetstuff]

My guess is 7:51 pm central time

I just realized my estimate was very close hahaha. My status update came at 7:46 last night 🤣

 

[nicoledoesvetstuff]

Based on last year's thread, it looks like they will start pulling after April 15th.

It seems like after but the portal said they would start pulling before then according to the portal message so I have no idea tbh

 

[dogtorelgan]

For those submitting the form to stay on the waitlist, do you have to add a summer address? I don’t go anywhere different besides my actual residence.

 

[drbmilysnoobs]

I just put N/A

I put the same thing twice just in case

 

[tal1214]

For waitlists do they typically accept updated experience / take that into account?

 

[frogboss84]

Just declined my OOS alternate seat - Good luck to all!

 

[dogtorelgan]

No. Whatever was on your application at the time of submission is what they accept/take into account.

 

[VHug4772]

Just declined my OOS seat! I hope someone receives good news soon! 🤍

 

[ossumpossum]

Is anyone on the OOS waitlist going to the preview days?

I'm going to try to.

 

[smallanimal11]

Does anyone know when ISU releases scholarship amounts? or just if its before or after the April 15th deadline? I am OOS and I prefer the other program I got into (I think), but I want to compare final costs after FAFSA/Scholarships before commiting to ISU or the other school

Unfortunately it is kind of inconsistent. I didn’t get my scholarship my first year until maybe June or July. Some people heard with their acceptance. Some people heard after me. I got a pretty significant amount (in my mind) first year so getting it early wasn’t necessarily better. Last year it was late for everyone, maybe late July or August, not sure if that was for returning students or new students as well. Your best bet is just asking admissions

Hi friends
I declined my OOS acceptance tonight. I hope that helps someone else out! You’re all going to be amazing doctors!!!

I am a veterinary student at Iowa State. I have an apartment I am subleasing in Ames from June or August 2025- June 2026 It is at the Grove Apartment. It is a 5 minute drive to the veterinary school and a 20 minute walk. There is free bus rides to the veterinary school and around Ames that is located near the apartment complex. I have a 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom apartment. Rent is $575 a month. Utilities you’d have to cover is water, electricity, and trash. the apartment complex offers $25 coverage to the utilities bill. I pay about $30 at most in the winter time for utilities. You would reside in one of the private bedroom and bathroom with a walk in closet. The apartment comes fully furnished. It is pet friendly, an additional $25. There is a private (resident only) pool, gym, and clubhouse where you can study with 24/7 access (except the pool that opens seasonally). I have a discounted rent, usually first time renters pay $690 for a 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom. You can pick your own roommate or be randomly selected in the new lease starting in August 2025-June 2026. Other veterinary students also reside at the Grove. You would need to fill out your own application to sublease. Here is the link to the apartment complex if you are interested in pictures. Grove at Ames: Student Apartments in Ames, Iowa. You can also message me privately

Are they going to start offering seats to alternates after March 17th or 28th? Does anyone have any idea how long we have to wait?

I believe we will know our number March 31st and it doesn’t move till after April 15th, they got their numbers earlier but they didn’t hear about seats till like April 16

 

[ceekow1213]

Does anyone know how many in state alternates are typically admitted every year? I’m pretty low on the IS list so was just curious if anyone knew how many people were pulled in previous years? Obviously I know it depends on how many people give up their spots but

 

[mollyk_2021]

Does anyone going to the preview days know if it’s business casual or casual or what are you planning to wear

I went last year and people seemed to wear a range of things lol, I personally stuck with business casual to be safe. I don’t think there is a dress code though
