I emailed Ryan today and then got my decision letter very sooner after that. I’m OS. Sounds like they are still reviewing applications too

OOS rejection yesterday- Washington resident. When I reviewed their criteria the other day, I realized they weigh undergrad/prereq grades as 40% of your app and graduate grades as only like 3%, so I’m not surprised that I was rejected. I had a rough undergrad and my undergrad gpa is 2.83. However, my masters gpa is 3.849 and I have over 12,000 veterinary hours. Just something to consider for those who are applying next year. This is probably not the school for you if you have a low undergrad/prereq gpa, even if you have a graduate degree or large amounts of experience.
Congratulations to those who were accepted!! Cache Valley is a beautiful area
 
I just submitted last week due to waiting on a LOR and I haven’t heard anything yet. Anyone else submit kinda late and still waiting?

I would do a lot of things for literally just an estimated timeline
I agree, it feels very unrealistic for an OOS applicant to be able to plan for a move (possibly across the country) in less than 2 months.
Yet people do it every single year!

For OOSers in limbo, pick 2-3 apartment complexes you'd be okay living at for your first year. If you get the call/email, you can submit an application/sign a lease right away since you've already done the legwork. That's the biggest hurdle in my eyes.

My coworker had a classmate who was pulled off WSU's waitlist a week before classes started. People absolutely move across the country for vet school with less than 2 months of warning. It's stressful, but it's doable.

This is a great tip! thank you for sharing!
 
Hope they’ll offer some file reviews bc I want the best chances for IS tuition but I know they’re already behind :’)

I was contacted on Friday and accepted OOS from Washington! I emailed them that morning asking for an update and they called me a few hours later with an acceptance. I had given up hope because I submitted early and hadn’t heard anything and I had a low GPA from a previous failed college experience but my grades since have been almost flawless and my science gpa is also almost flawless. I am still in shock as I thought it a very long shot I would get accepted.
 
I made a discord group for accepted students. I thought it would be nice to start connecting 🙂
There is already a discord chat for accepted students. The first year coordinator should send you an invite after acceptance
