I have discussed this with several state Veterinarians in Idaho, and we do not want to give up seats at WSU. We want seats at both colleges because we do not have enough as it is.

It would be ideal for sure to have seats at both, one can only hope!!!

I think they meant that more NV residents will probably be applying over other schools, so that’ll skew the pool. We aren’t apart of WICHE so it’s our only IS option

Ok I see what you mean. That makes a lot more sense

I would recommend joining and attending the IVMA meetings. That is where this is being discussed. I think it is ultimately dependent on what funding the state can provide. It will be difficult to convince them to provide funding for additional in-state seats.

I would love any resources! I thought only Vet Students can join the IVMA? I do know that Idaho has been paying the difference in tuition to WSU for all 4 years of out of state tuition for Idaho Residents. Because we can establish residency, the veterinarians I have talked with have said that they should only provide the difference for the first year and that Idaho (Moscow students) should move to Pullman to get in state tuition so the state doesn't have to cover the whole 4 year difference.

That would definitely be an option worth exploring. I went to a meeting that was attached to a CE, but one of the people on the board is not a veterinarian or licensed vet tech and just has a history of work experience in the vet field, so that implies that non-vets can be members. I'm sure if you reached out, they would be able to give you more information on how you can participate.

There aren’t seats put aside for NV residents or in state tuition. There is a stipend that can be applied to and for each year that you receive the stipend you have to agree to practice a year in Nevada. It’s called to Nevada WICHE Veterinary School Stipend. I called at the beginning and asked if there would be any contract seats for any states because I’m in Idaho and they said it was a definite no for the year minimum due to the amount of students this year they are accepting.

Ok, thank you for clarifying!
 
Do we think more decisions are going to roll out today? I know they have a lot of applications to go through, just anxious to know, like everyone else.

I hope so! Also I feel like if you turned your app in very early your more likely to hear back sooner since it’s rolling

I have heard of more offers today. All I have heard are in state though.

We are all really excited for you that you got in, but please have the self and social awareness to know how what you post affects the hundreds of people still waiting to hear about their futures. Your comment last week that “they should have made most of their acceptance calls this afternoon” put everyone into a frenzy and caused the admissions office to be bombarded. Please be very specific and positive of the information you are posting on public pages followed by people anxiously waiting for information on their dreams as well.
 
So do we think there were calls/acceptances that went out this week? I tried to search the FB APVMA group and nothing has shown up on there either except for that first small set of calls.

This was posted yesterday but doesn’t look like anyone confirmed acceptances
 
Anyone else wondering why we still haven’t heard from Utah yet? I thought rolling admissions meant that if you submitted your application early you would get an answer sooner

Rolling just means they review applications as they come in. Does not guarantee an earlier decision unfortunately. Same situation with LMU that is rolling- people submitted in July but still didn’t hear until like January

It’s so frustrating tho waiting to hear back I totally get it! I think USU also received a lot more applicants than they were anticipating which is making everything take longer

I agree. I think they got sooo much more than they thought they were going to get
 
Has anyone heard if there is a cutoff date by which they will have released all of their decisions?
 
Cowsrcool said:
They said via email may 23rd is the last day they are accepting new applications not sending out acceptances!
Click to expand...
Well at least they have a cutoff for that. I know the news article that is floating around said they hoped to have the spots filled by June 1, but that was published right after they opened the application, so I wasn't sure if anyone had heard and update or a set cutoff date for decisions. I just want to be able to plan my life and to know if I need to move lol
 
When you get an email from them reminding you that your professor hasn't sent in her rec letter and that they can't review the application until that's done 🥲

(I emailed a different professor instead of going the cookie route because I thought it would be faster but I was apparently wrong)

Anyone want to take one for the team and see what info they can get from admissions? 😅
Click to expand...
I would. But kinda don’t want to be pushy. Guess it depends on how the email is phrased. Maybe say something like hi I was wondering when the next batch of decisions will come out? Idk
 
I left a voicemail for Ryan asking if there was a set deadline for OOS applicants to hear by. As far as we know, it’s only the one person who has been admitted OOS, right?

I believe that's correct, I haven't seen anything else on here or the FB APVMA page (even searched "utah" and "USU" multiple times, lol). Of course, there's the possibility that someone not on these two websites could've received an offer though! But if I had to guess, a majority of the apps are probably IS and they might just be trying to get a good look at the whole OOS pool.

I talked to Ryan two weeks ago after posts were made that “most” people should have been contacted. He assured me that most spots were still available (for IS and OOS is my guess), and that more acceptances would be rolling out over the next few weeks. Still really vague on when we would hear anything, but there should still be a decent amount of spots for IS and OOS (hopefully).
 
For those of you emailing for updates how did you format the email? I want to send one but I don’t want to be pushy

I think acknowledging it’s a long process that is new is good before voicing your questions or frustrations. Please keep us posted!
 
When they finally make offers, what schools will be most impacted by those accepting Utah. I know a few have mentioned Midwestern...any other schools like WSU, Oregon, CSU, LMU that may be impacted?
 
Do we think they may wait until after May 23rd to send more acceptances in order to review the entire applicant pool? I thought not since they said they were doing rolling admissions but am wondering if maybe that is the case.
 
I spoke with the new student support team yesterday and she said 15 student have been acepted so far (I don't know what percentage is instate vs out of state). She also said that they're planning to have the class filled by June 1st so you guys should get a answer before then. Renember no news is good news you guys got this 🙂

Does this mean that 15 seats have been filled? Or 15 offers have been sent out (and we don't know if they've said yes or no)? Thank you so much for sharing this!
 
Has anyone heard anything? I’m sorry to be messaging so much, I’m getting married this week and I’m trying to get all my ducks in a row. If not I’m planning on calling today to get an idea of timeline (I don’t want to miss a call during my wedding).

May I ask your stats by chance? And when did you finish your application?
Click to expand...

I completed my Kira talent on April 14th.
All GPA:3.85
Experience: exotic, zoo, small gp, large gp, emergency med combined 3000ish hours
Leadership and other experience: military section lead program manager, aquarium volunteer, and other volunteer stuff in the military
 
I just got in my Kira on Thursday and my overall stress has definitely gone up since I finished it
 
Anyone with an average GPA get accepted yet? 😭 I have a 3.46 and have only heard of 3.7+ acceptances so far
