It's tough waiting around for responses to your application to the professional veterinary medicine program. Use the guidelines below to determine when & how you will hear from the admissions committee.

DVM Program Communication & Notification Process

1. Applicant Communication

   Once an applicant creates a portal account via the Colorado Supplemental Application, he/she will gain access to the DVM Admissions Portal

2. All Updates, Confirmations, Notifications and Announcements will occur via the DVM Admissions Portal.
3. Evaluation & Notification of Admissions Status

   The Office of Veterinary Admissions has a Phased Admissions evaluation and notification process which has been divided into four phases. This will provide applicants with an estimate of when they might expect to be notified about their admission status. The phases are as follows:

   • Phase One: early October - Notification and deny of applicants who have incomplete an application. These are applicants who did not submit the VMCAS and/or the Colorado Supplemental Application(s) by the deadline.
   • Phase Two: mid-October to mid-November - Applicants for combined DVM Programs will be notified if they have been denied, selected as an alternate or offered a position. Applicants who have a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or less will be read, some will be denied and will receive a deny email notification.
   • Phase Three: mid-November to late-December (mid-January for WICHE applicants) Late December, Colorado and Nonsponsored applicants will be notified if they have been denied, selected as an alternate or offered a position. Also, Early Nonsponsored offers will be made to those WICHE candidates who were highly ranked by the CSU Admissions Committee members.
   • Phase Four: early May to late August - Accepted applicants will have exclusive access to the DVM Admissions Portal with announcements regarding Orientation, registration, housing, book/supply purchases, etc.
