Hi! First time applicant to KSU, but this is my second cycle applying to vet school. The KSU admissions website doesn't say anything about CASPer being required, but the VMSAR page on AAVMC says that it is and to watch the website. I'm assuming it isn't required this year since it isn't on the website but could anyone provide some clarification? Thanks!

Hey everyone, hoping you could provide some insight or experience with this? I noticed on K state Website there is a clause that states “A grade of D or F on a transcript at the time of application will disqualify the application.” Is this in regards specifically to the pre-requisites or is it in general? I ask as I unfortunately got a D- in my first semester of university back in 2011 in a geography elective and it would be a darn shame if that was the great gatekeeper for my chance to apply to this vet school! 😰

"A course grade of D or F on a transcript at the time of application, in any required course, will disqualify the application. Required courses with a grade of D or F that have been repeated or replaced, and the grade improved, will be accepted." Seems like your geography grade won't be an issue.

Thank you, appreciate the response! Was this the info provided on Vmcas?

It's from the KSU website

Has anyone else had an issue accessing the KSU supplemental application? Not the VMCAS one. The one where you pay your supplemental fee?

Hi, does anyone know any current KSU students that would be available to answer questions about the program?

I actually emailed them about this and admissions said that they are not requiring the CASPer exam this cycle! I hope that helps.

Their website just says "Applicants are notified and invited to interview." I'm gonna assume those who will not be invited just get straight rejections, correct?

I applied to KSU previously and was waitlisted for an interview. They sent me the email that I was waitlisted at the same time they sent out interview invites. I never got any communication about that, and just had to put two and two together when their interview period was done that I didn’t get off the waitlist. I would think that anyone who is definitely not getting an interview will be notified at the time they send out invites to those who do.
