Utah State University c/o 2029 Applicants

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
When did you get everything submitted???
I finished my application March 31st and submitted my Kira Talent on April 6th.
Are you accepting? If so, what school are you changing from?
I actually didn't apply anywhere this cycle and was planning on taking a gap year, so this is my first application! I plan to accept if I get in-state tuition through Nevada.

Would anyone who has been accepted be willing to share their stats? Super interested in hearing what kind of candidates they are looking for!

Do we know if there's been any OOS seats (as in not contracted, will need to pay OOS tuition) that have been offered yet? It sounds like right now there have been IS offers and contracted seats OOS offers (NV residents).

NV residents do not have contract seats we are with the OOS pool. I asked about it bc I’m NV

I should've clarified. I just wanted to ask if there have been any OOS seats offered to anyone else asides from those living in NV. I only mention that because based on one of the previous news articles released about USU, it sounds like USU has at least some number of seats set aside for those from NV since they are offering IS tuition to select areas in NV. I just want know if IS and NV residents are the only offers they have been making so far or if there has been an OOS offer made to anyone from another state.

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.

I've been wondering the same thing. I was disappointed to hear that the majority of their OOS seats are going to people from NV.

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

Idaho is considering adding spots to Utah, but it would likely be in place of the spots at WSU.
 
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 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.
