Does anyone have any info on the Master’s at Colorado State that is Veterinary Bio med? Like acceptance rate? Does it help with getting in to get school? I’ve heard if you do well enough in the program you can get in to their vet school automatically. Is that true?

Im currently a BMS undergad student at CSU and I do not believe you get automatic vet school acceptance as this is a program I've looked into and have never heard that (I could be wrong tho). The BMS masters will for sure help prepare you for vet school as the curriculum is built to challenge you in all the best ways. I've heard its decently easy to get into but I have never applied. As far as helping your chances, many people look into masters to boost their gpa which is valid. However, if you are applying for the next upcoming cycle and you start the masters in the fall the schools really won't see much of your grades. It may still look good that you are doing it so you may see better odds even without them seeing your gpa. So my advisor told me to not spend the money to take it for only the gpa boost. I will say that the program introduces you to many amazing professors and staff who can write letters of rec or help with anything else so that's a plus. I think doing the masters may help with gaining residency too if you aren't already in state at CSU, however I don't know how this works when you are applying to vet school while concurrent on the masters. The BMS masters are pretty similar course wise to the BMS undergrad (but the classes are a lot more in-depth in the masters) and I LOVE my major and would recommend it to anyone. If you like physiology and want to be super prepared for vet school then I say go for it, however, I don't know how much it can increase vet school admission odds. Admissions are so personalized that it may be super helpful towards your application and not to someone else and vise/versa, so ultimately its what you think is best for you. Message me if you any specific questions I'm happy to ask around as well!
 
The general consensus is not to do a masters just to improve your vet school application. However, if the material interests you and you’re able to make it a meaningful experience that you can tie in to your application, it certainly won’t hurt.

Acceptable rate and automatic acceptance would be questions for the program’s admissions contact.
