Not including your graduate program in your transcript could be a huge issue as you are meant to report any and all coursework completed OR in progress.

What should I do? Can I still fix this?

No, the deadline has passed. I’m not sure if it’ll be an issue but it’s explicitly said to include EVERYTHING. Not sure if it’ll disqualify you. Was your application verified? If it was verified you might be fine but I’m truly not sure. I knew someone who left something off one year and it disqualified her from every school because they required her to be verified and she wasn’t

For in progress courses, they should be included in VMCAS under your academic history section but if you don’t have any completed courses from an institution you shouldn’t need transcripts for that institution sent into VMCAS. Some schools require transcripts for any fall courses at the end of the semester which they will then factor into their decisions.

So to be clear, you have not completed any courses yet in your master's? If so, there wouldn't be a transcript to send yet, so it shouldn't be an issue right now.

Your school choices this time around are much more appropriate, but your GPAs are below average and will be a hurdle you need to overcome. What has occurred within this past year that made your GPAs drop like that? Those are not insignificant decreases.

Apologies for the scare! I misread your post and assumed you had not included your graduate courses you had ALREADY taken!

Do you think this application cycle might be difficult, and it would have been better to apply after finishing my Master’s?🥲

I think it may be a challenging cycle. The downward trend in your GPAs is concerning - it would be less so if you were going from a 3.9 to a 3.7 or similar, but when you're starting with GPAs that are below average, and then trending down within that, it does raise a red flag for me that perhaps you haven't found the study methods that work best for you and that the rigor of vet school might be something you'd struggle with. What has occurred in the last year/do you know why you've experienced that drop?
