Transcript History

[kmw]

Hey guys,

I was curious as to how much your transcript history will impact your application?
I know it says that only your last two full time semester GPA/Required courses will count but I'm just looking for some reassurance that my crappy first year grades and such will not impact my application in a negative way.
Just feeling a wee bit down on the matter today and could use some hopefully good feedback.

Thanks guys,and I hope everyone keeps their chins up while trying to achieve their goals! YOU CAN DO IT!

The admissions committee only get the files of those people who are in the top 200 after the registrar does the crunching of your 8 courses, MCAT and your last 2 full time semesters.

Lovely, thank you very much!
What do the files include? All grades?

[lowenger]

No - just the BIF. This is summarized at www.ovc.uoguelph.ca/recruitment/en/applyingtodvm/selectionprocess.asp

Thank you for sifting through our silly questions which we should already know the answer to Ms. Lowenger!

Dear Ms. Lowenger, is it similar for the graduate cohort? Does the admission committee receives only the application of certain individuals? or are all the applications on the graduate cohort reviewed?
Thank you for your time

Hi AJ

We review all the grad cohort applications and assess them. Then the top 10 (this may change from year to year) or so are invited for an interview.

Thank you Ms. Lowenger. When can the graduate cohort expect to hear about interviews?
