Does anyone know the prompt of the supplemental personal statement? Or at least what it has been in past years?

Does anyone know the prompt of the supplemental personal statement? Or at least what it has been in past years?

This is what I was told by the admissions committee:

"Review the Principles of Community for UC Davis, both Prologue and Principles of Community sections: Principles of Community.

As a pre-veterinary student, how have you upheld these principles within your current, former campus community, or work environment? As we look at the context of the profession, how will these principles influence you as a DVM student and into practice?"

I am a uc davis undergraduate student and I’m wondering if they will go off the vmcas calculated GPAs or my gpa calculated through the university. My vmcas gpa is lower than the university one but I’m not sure which they will use, or how they look at classes retaken. Does anyone know?

On your applicant portal, you can view the GPA being considered. I think the science and cumulative GPA is calculated by VMCAS while the last 45 is calculated by Davis. I am not sure how they look at retaken classes though.

Editing to add that I just found this: "Cumulative GPA: UC Davis and VMCAS include the original and repeated grade in all GPA calculations even if your college did not include the original grade in the overall calculation." This is on your applicant portal under GPAs.

Dang that means I’m kinda screwed it’s ok

They use science and last 45 GPA to initially rank applicants so if you meet those requirements, I am sure you have a good chance!

Hi guys, for the supplement application question of a professional degree, is a bachelor’s considered a professional degree? TIA
