Dose anyone know how they conduct their preliminary? Only academic? Like overall GPA, and science GPA? Thanks!

Read further up in the thread

 

[breezywonton]

oos past preliminary round!

same!! Also, nice pfp 😉

 

[purrlywhites]

Thank you so much for this info! 😄

It’s science GPA above 3.5 but I had around a 3.2 so they’re definitely holistic!

 

[ErPikBeary]

I revisited the link in the generic "we are reviewing applications" email and went to the timeline!

OOS passed the screening! Do we get interviews too or no?

No interviews for OOS

 

[ErPikBeary]

I'm not sure about the cut off, but I have a higher GPA than that and got rejected

On the website this is what it says about OOS.

Applicants with a science GPA above 3.5 and a last 45 semester (60 quarter) credit GPA above 3.6 are generally considered to have a previous record of academic excellence indicative of success within the professional veterinary curriculum. Non-resident applicants who meet the GPA criteria are automatically forwarded to the admissions committee for further review of their academic background and additional application criteria.

OOS rejection 🙁 my first rejection so far and ouch.
Good luck and congrats to everyone who passed prelim screening!!

 

[gobears2022]

OOS made it past the preliminary screening!

 

[futuredogtor1209]

OOS rejection 🙁 8 more schools left to hear from now…getting really nervous about this cycle.

 

[frogboss84]

Yeah that wouldn’t make sense cause I’m an OOS with over a 3.5 and didn’t make it past

Same boat 🙁

 

[hoofnheart]

https://hub.wsu.edu/dvm-admissions/admissions-decisions/ So they linked this in the email about the preliminary round but also it seems the info is contradictory as they make it seem anyone with a 3.5+ GPA passes the preliminary screening. Not sure what the accurate info is:/

I have a 3.72 and was rejected

 

[Cowsrcool]

I have a 3.72 and was rejected

I’m sorry😞 it’s so frustrating that so many qualified applicants get turned away. Wish there were more answers from them regarding why they make decisions. Possibly file reviews?

 

[antisocialbutter]

I'm very curious as to how many people have passed the preliminary screening. From here I wonder what they will consider compared to their initial assessment of applicants, since they already seemed to have considered other factors beyond GPA.

 

[wayne455338]

We recently had several huge events going on this year including AVMA accreditation evaluation and lots of paperwork to do because next coming class will be the first class without Utah campus, but I don’t know if those events delay the application process. The preliminary around is also new as I heard that we have record breaking number of applicants this year. Hang in tight guys !!! Congratulations to those who pass the first round, and to those who did not, please keep your heads up !!! Feel free to ask if you have any questions. I will try my best to answer. Good luck everyone !!!

 

[shadysadie]

I am so sorry this has happened 😔 it doesn't make sense. I hope you are waiting for other schools. This isn't over! 🙂

Thanks! I am waiting for other schools. I honestly wasn’t expecting to get into Washington because I know it’s very hard when you’re not WISCHE

Lol my science GPA is 3.5 and my overall is 3.6 so I barely missed it

 

[Cowsrcool]

i assume if it didn’t say in the email we had to send fall transcripts we don’t? I only had one post bacc class I was taking for a prerequisite but idk if I need to send them that ?

 

[ErPikBeary]

Ugh sorry. I barely made it. My science is 3.52 and overall 3.64 LOL

Do they accept more WICHE than other OOS? I wasn’t sure if it was an advantage or looked at equally.

Hmmm not sure would like to know as well but I hadn’t been planning on sending them for January since it wasn’t mentioned 🤷‍♀️

I'm wondering this also! I think bc there are less WICHE students, it's a smaller pool you are considered in if that makes any sense

 

[alyssa13]

Washington typically offers around 25 acceptances to OOS applicants

Omg

 

[deleted1205160]

Omg

Tough for OOS candidates who don't have an instate school. Definitely at a disadvantage from the start.

 

[Cowsrcool]

Yes, WSU is known as one of the more competitive schools for oos students they offer very few spots outside of WA and WICHE as a whole.

 

[BigBang1234]

Washington typically offers around 25 acceptances to OOS applicants

That's mean no hope for OOS applicants even we passed the pre-screen round

 

[Cowsrcool]

That's mean no hope for OOS applicants even we passed the pre-screen round

🤷‍♀️ . I’m not even sure how many people passed the preliminary screening. If they had over 2500 applications I can’t imagine they slimmed that down significantly or maybe they did?

 

[Shiloh47]

That's mean no hope for OOS applicants even we passed the pre-screen round

yeah 25 seats for OOS is insane. As an east coast rat it ain't looking too good scoob...

 

[roseaggies99]

Except the 25 🤣

Also curious about this too

 

[breezywonton]

I saw a video on TikTok of someone (OOS) receiving an acceptance call from WSU? Are they already sending out acceptances? I thought it wouldn't be until January

You sure it’s for this year?

 

[breezywonton]

You sure it’s for this year?

yes which is why I'm confused and also I thought they'd email and not call lol

 

[ilovecats44]

yes which is why I'm confused and also I thought they'd email and not call lol

interesting… i seen this vid as well. it doesnt make sense either because they said they would reach out in January. maybe they were in state? not sure if that makes a difference

 

[stephanyvelasco]

yes which is why I'm confused and also I thought they'd email and not call lol

I saw the same TikTok. I was looking into the WSU admission process and Montana residents did their interviews on nov 19-20 and it says that decision are released 2-3 weeks after the interview. After that is the non resident review.

Ohhh I see! Thanks for the clarification 🙂

 

[stephanyvelasco]

Ohhh I see! Thanks for the clarification 🙂

I was going crazy checking my email after watching that TikTok. That’s why I checked their website to make sure. Not sure if the guy that was accepted was a Montana resident but that’s what I’m guessing

 

[Cowsrcool]

Wsu calls in state people I think! So it would make sense that they’d also call the WICHE / WIMU ppl 🙂

In state still interviews, which aren’t until the end of January for everyone

 

[Cowsrcool]

Other states with contract seats have interviewed already

 

[Qopiexs]

Other states with contract seats have interviewed already

Yes, but this person asked specifically about IS. Montana interviewed and idk about Idaho only that invites were sent out

 

[spencerbird]

Hi everybody! I got the call yesterday, too! Accepted! AHHH!!! I cannot BELIEVE it, because WSU has been my top choice school.. and I was expecting to find out in January. When I saw a missed call from Washington state, I literally fell over.

For those still waiting, DON'T panic. This seems like it was for a very small group of prospective WICHE students which make up the smallest fraction of applicants. They emailed after the call, which said specifically:
"We are making early admission offers to outstanding nonresident applicants who are certified by one of our WICHE partner states."

Can't wait to see who else is in WSU c/o 2029! I live very far away and will be leaving my toddlers, hubby and small zoo back home. It will be great to connect with other students coming in.

Go Cougs!

 

[toastiesimba]

Wsu calls in state people I think! So it would make sense that they’d also call the WICHE / WIMU ppl 🙂

what states do these include? california is part of WICHE so do we start getting calls right now too if we're accepted?

congratulations!!!!! <3

 

[spencerbird]

congratulations!!!!! <3

Thank you!!! From their email, it sounds like they are specifically making offers to select non-residents who are certified by WICHE.
I don't think this means all WICHE students will get offers - or all non-residents. But I could be reading this wrong.
I would say, if you are a WICHE applicant and didn't get a call - don't panic yet! The cycle is still young.

 

[KK5820]

California is apart of WICHE but only does undergraduate funding (WUE). Unfortunately California does not participate in PSEP, which is what funds health related degrees due to the fact that California operates many health professions programs. So as far as I understand, California is a WICHE state but not in regards to veterinary school! I’m a CA resident and couldn’t use WICHE for veterinary school applications despite being on the WUE right now.

Correct California is not WICHE for vet schools bc there’s Davis for IS
