How did you guys answer the diversity inclusion essay?
.
.
I ended up just dismissing it and looking at it but now I’m worried maybe someone hacked the site and now my VMCAS ID is in there. I just don’t want anything compromised.
First time applying to LSU OOS due to their new requirements! Third time applying overall 🙂
I kinda tied to being able to help more clients who might not seek care because, for example, language barriers. As well as tie in increase in support within vet med if we bring in more diversity/inclusion because people will be able to relate to others!

Has anyone gotten anything except for folder review? I heard that they changed their OOS application process where they're not only looking at 150 or 250 OOS applicants anymore starting this year, but I don't really know.
How many are they looking at? Less than 150?
I think everyone gets moved to folder review if they met the basic requirements, but not entirely sure!
I think they are looking at all OOS in general, rather than 150-250 OOS applicants with the highest GPA if that makes sense.
I know that they are increasing their seats to help with the vet shortage. I'm not entirely sure how that is split between IS and OOS

Makes sense! Thanks!
Oh I gotcha. I wasn’t sure what you meant.

Actually for OOS they “no longer have to rank in the top 250 candidates based on GPAs to be evaluated. All completed applications will be evaluated in the focused academic review, general review, or both.”

Yup! They have a more holistic approach this year.
When I applied last year they evaluated in the top 150-250, but because I didn't quite make that cut, I was no longer being considered by the end of October. I am very happy that they have decided to evaluate more holistically, because IMPO a GPA and test scores do not define a student.

When should we receive an update?
I think the portal said mid-december but I could be wrong.

Last year it was mid December to early January. I think I received mine right dec 22 last year.
I am IS and interviewed last year with LSU! All zoom interviews, but I believe last year they did not interview OOS applicants. They just sent out acceptances/rejections/waitlist decisions. It was sent out late December last year!
