Hello! Quick question, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to it but want to clarify, when you calculate the GPA for OOS applicants, is it the GPA at the time of VMCAS verification? I.E. if my GPA at submission is 3.39, that's the one you use to evaluate candidates for the requirements?

Yes, we use the GPA calculation at the time we clear the application for committee review. For OOS applicants, that mostly happens Sep 1 - Oct 15.

Does the admissions committee read every recommendation letter for each applicant?

Also if I’m reapplying, how much info do you guys see from my previous application cycle, for instance if I change my focus pick from large animal to small animal would you know that? Just curious about the process

Thanks for your help !

Yes, the NC State DVM Admissions Committee reads all letters of recommendation submitted on behalf of an applicant.

The Admissions Committee only reads the application submitted for the current cycle. It doesn't reference applications from previous cycles.

Hello!
I noticed that the microbiology prereq had the following update:

NOTICE ***Starting spring of 2025 - MB 251 will be the required General Microbiology Course and MB252/254 will be the new labs.***

Does this mean that MB 251 + MB252/254 will be an acceptable course to fill the Microbiology requirement in addition to the courses already approved?

MB 251, with labs MB 252/254, are the new NC State undergraduate microbiology course(s) that will fulfill the prerequisite. We will still accept MB 351 and MB 411 (and associated labs) if an applicant has already completed them for the prerequisite.
