Utah State University c/o 2029 Applicants

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm wondering if they are sending out rejections in waves? I haven't received an email yet either
Yeah, I guess so. I emailed admissions almost 3 weeks ago and haven't gotten a response. I also emailed Ryan last Friday and haven't gotten a response.

I emailed admissions 1 week ago and the email said this "Our selection committee is actively reviewing applications and notifying applicants as decisions are made. We appreciate your patience as we work through the final stages of the process."
 
OOS rejection FL

For context I've applied via VMCAS in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and then to Utah. Made many changes. Have 1,000's of hours with small animal and exotics. Volunteer work with large animals. Worked as a tech since 2016 in GP, ER, Mobile clinic, Specialty (where I've worked across 8 different veterinary specialities and have been scrubbed in brain, spine, and open heart surgeries many times), and now holistic medicine for the past year. It's all starting to feel like a game of luck at this point.

Wishing the remaining candidates the best of luck!
 
Does anyone who is trying for this current cycle know when they will be added to vmcas? I tried reaching out and they just said to keep posted?

Apparently I did not get in because they did not even review my application which I suppose is better than not getting in because of rejection. They said “
Due to the unique circumstances of our application cycle, including the rolling nature and abbreviated timeframe, your application was not reviewed. Our records indicate that because of the late date of submission, your application was not "in the queue" to be sent to the selection committee until after our seats were filled. We strongly encourage you to apply for our 2026 cycle through VMCAS. As long as you complete the application by the VMCAS deadline, your application will be considered.” I submitted in April but my second LOR wasn’t until may so that probably pushed me back in the queue 🙁

That’s crazy bc they shouldn’t have set a later “deadline” to submit applications (May 23rd). Like that’s proof they just sucked up everyone’s application fees who submitted for over a month after when the queue was stopped?. A bad look.

-granted I understand they didn’t know how many applicants it would take to sort through to fill their class but considering it was only like 40 total seats and most of them being in state, I can guarantee they knew they’d hit their mark well before the May 23rd deadline lol-
 
I got in!!!
Anybody who also is in, please message me on instagram @lindsey.gp !!!
You will get a link to a discord server from Kadie that has all the accepted students on there. And the second year vet students that are part of the WSU cohort and they are great at answering questions.

I am so sorry that is so unfortunate. I am just confused as how we are applying in this cycle through VMCAS when it isn't on VMCAS?
