Kansas State (KSU) c/o 2027 Applicants

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
My boss said that this year they are interviewing about 480 candidates. And we take around 120 students but it of course varies a bit from year to year. A certain percentage of students turn down KSU’s offer, so a bit more than 120 offers will be sent out.

If someone doesn’t accept their seat, then someone on the waitlist will be called. We had a student in my class actually get a call on the first day of orientation (Wednesday) and she packed up her stuff and moved from TX to KS to start class the following Monday.
Well, there goes that positivity I was carrying with me after my interview. :oops:

Or you could think of it this way, if you get an interview you’re going from a less than 10% chance to about a 25% chance. Your odds have over doubled.
Is anyone else going to join the presentation later via zoom?
I’m hoping to.

Feeling pretty nervous after my interview since it feels like it went suspiciously well 😅

I had my in person interview yesterday and it went really well! And after visiting K-State and Manhattan (I’d never been), I loved both the school and town!! Everyone at the school was so kind and helpful and seemed genuinely happy. I’m so excited/nervous to hear in hopefully a few weeks 🤞

I feel the same way! I'm trying to plan a visit but it's hard to get time off after requesting time off for interview season. Does anyone know around when they release decisions? I don't want to schedule a visit and then get rejected!

They said 4-6 weeks when I asked.
 
Coming from a big OOS city I was amazed how much I liked it here. I've been here 5 1/2 years now (3 undergrad rest in vet school) and still like it! Visit if you are on the fence. Good luck all!

When I asked one of the ambassadors what time they heard back last year they said February 15th!

I would guess you all would hear by Valentine’s Day. My acceptance came on February 7th, 2021 and last year’s was a similar timeframe.

So after reading here I’m wondering if something weird happened with their system. I was originally waitlisted for an interview but got one. But I got into Colorado but was waitlisted just for an interview at kstate?

I’m not following. What’s the problem with their system?

I heard from a few people their gpa was calculated incorrectly and kstate said they had to reevaluate their applicants after it was brought to their attention

How do they know what Kansas state calculated their gpa as? Unless I missed an email I’m not sure that was shared with us

I think one person said it a few pages back. But that would be the exception, not the rule in this case I think.

I feel like you should reach out to the school. They would be able to give you information on why you didn’t get an interview. From what I understand you believe your GPA was also miscalculated and that’s why you didn’t get an interview, yes? They answer questions very quickly in my experience!

OOS Alternate

Trying to remain hopeful as this is the school I really see myself at 💜

For all those accepted, congratulations! For my fellow alternates, we made it to here and we should be incredibly proud of that accomplishment. We are worthy and we will be great veterinarians one day!

For those of you that are OOS alternates - my coworker got into her IS and will be declining her seat. And that's just 1 person that I know that applied to KSU. Imagine all of the others. Good luck!!

I was on the interview waitlist and they sent me an email 02/03 at 3:38 PM saying that the application cycle has ended and to apply again next year.
 
OOS alternate, congrats to those of you who were accepted!!!!!
