. My pre-req and last 45 are both well over 3.4, so cumulative is all that's standing in my way!
Yes, all college level course work (undergraduate, masters, and doctorate) are included in the GPA calculation.Hey @NCSU CVM thank you for being here!
I am OOS and had a clarification question about minimum GPAs. I have a masters degree, do those courses count in the cumulative GPA category? The website says cumulative "includes all college courses" so I would assume the masters would be included, but my undergrad GPA is 3.37 and my undergrad+masters is around 3.6 so the distinction is critical to my eligibility and I just want to be sure
Thank you so much!
We evaluate three (3) different GPA: Cumulative, Required Course, and Last 45 Credit Hour. Which GPA is 3.2?
These GPA meet the NC Resident requirements. I wouldn't pursue additional coursework unless it fit into your professional and academic goals.
There are no plans to add anatomy as a prerequisite.
This year NCSU did not interview candidates.
All administrations of a course are calculated into the Required Course GPA. The lower grade(s) isn't/aren't dropped.
The NC State DVM Program doesn't impose time limits on prerequisites but other schools do. Check with each school to which you may apply.
Applicants should only retake prerequisites if he or she didn't achieve a 'C-' or better.
Of our active student body, 95% of those admitted as non-residents have been granted residency for tuition purposes.
There is no course work in the summers between years 1 and 2 and 2 and 3. However, the clinical year starts as soon as the 3rd year ends. It runs from May to May.Hello,
I am debating applying because I have so many loans already from undergrad and my masters program. I saw that out-of-state students can get in-state tuition after one year which is why it is a possibility for me! Does the class get summers off or is the program year-round? I'll definitely need to work to survive if I decide to do this! Also, is there somewhere online that I can request an info packet? Thanks!
I recommend that you complete the prerequisites in the appropriate time for the admissions cycle. It is not recommended to wait until you receive the decision notification.
The NC Resident Cumulative GPA hasn't been lowered. It's been 3.0 for over two decades. The Last 45 Hour GPA and Required Course GPA were lowered from 3.3 to 3.0 to align with the Cumulative GPA and to phase out the "alternative eligibility" classification.
The 2018 admissions cycle supplemental application essay prompts haven't been written yet. The change in the VMCAS Personal Statement prompt to three separate prompts requires a thorough review of our essays to capture the information we want from applicants. It is our hope to have the supplemental application 'go live' to applicants by mid-June.
Yes, we can do that. Please send your request to <[email protected]> Please note in the e-mail that you made this request on the SDN so that our staff knows that this request has been previously discussed. Thanks!
Will the alternative eligibility classification available for the next cycle? Or is that something they plan on doing over a course of several application cycles?
The Faculty Committee on Admissions hasn't decided how it will handle this classification for the 2018 admissions cycle. More information should be available in late May.
