Does anyone know if our fall transcripts should be sent as soon as grades are posted, or if they recommend waiting until decisions are made?

Wait until decisions are made. They won't update your statistics so it won't make a difference unless you are accepted and they ask for proof that you finished your in progress courses.

Any current students have any insight to how many people were cut in the original phase of their application process? Or how many people are remaining? Just curious since they received so many applications I didn’t know if the cut was significant or not a ton

Don’t really understand what you mean by original phase. If you are talking about the pre-elimination thing couple weeks ago, I believe this is the first time WSU have it and I never heard we had the phase before. They just released the acceptance, waitlists and denials in the same time historically.

Does anyone know when non-resident and WICHE decisions were released last year?

I was not able to attend the zoom application review session today due to work. Can anybody fill me in? Thank you!
 
We have zoom application review session for today? Is it for everyone?

I was a WICHE applicant and received my rejection email on 12/16 and they offered a virtual information session on ways to improve applications. I'm not sure if out of state applicants were also invited but it was like a group thing. They said they will not be able to provide individual application reviews or post the entire recording from the information session. So not being able to attend this zoom session is gut wrenching for me.

Ahh I'm sorry you couldn't make it. I hope somebody did and can fill you in.

I am a WICHE student and was given an early acceptance offer on 12/16, and I saw the TikTok of one guy accepted too.. Maybe they went through some WICHE only applicants that day?
Feel free to message my privately if you want to chat more or some brainstorming your app!

What's 1st phase ?

From my understanding it was a preliminary phase for OOS students to see if they matched a certain academic criteria. I don't know if you still have it but some information is on their website https://hub.wsu.edu/dvm-admissions/admissions-decisions/. To save you some time, it was pretty generic and this was the highlight:

Applicants with a science GPA above 3.5 and a last 45 semester (60 quarter) credit GPA above 3.6 are generally considered.

Those that didn't automatically pass had a deeper review.

Factors such as the last 45 credit hour GPA, prerequisite GPA, academic rigor, work or family responsibilities, and extenuating circumstances are considered.

Is it the same phase that they sent out last month for notification?

Any requirements for phase 2?

It seems it was a combination of things. the “gpa” on their website that talks about 3.5+ was obviously not a factor because people with over that GPA were rejected so I think it was a combination of application factors. They haven’t told us anything.

I sent you a DM!
 
Saw a source on FB say the preliminary screening rejected anyone with a science GPA below 3.5 and a last 45 below 3.6??? No idea how accurate this is but worth noting for people that were wondering.

Not everyone with a GPA below that, but can’t say what else they looked at to accept me past screening

Oh ok? The info came from a current student at WSU but I’m sure they also don’t know the full details. Hopefully the wait is over soon!
 
They have IS interviews the last few days of the month 29-31 if I’m not mistaken. I assume it’ll be right before that so they can have it off of their plate.
 
Update from the meeting today. The application process and number of accepted seats have been change because Utah leaving us this year. New composition of the class of 2029 is available online at WSU DVM page.
Little summary here: we historically accept about 25 OOS. This year increase to 60 OOS seats including WICHE, non residents and 2 seats are specially to international students.
Besides, keep an eye on your email starting next week. I am not able to share the exact date but just FYI that the decisions will be out soon. You can also check the timeline on the websites. Feel free to ask questions.

Wow, that's fantastic. I'm glad USU is able to alleviate some veterinary school seat limitations for OOS applicants to the west coast schools.
