Supplemental Application

ALL APPLICANTS are required to complete the brief online ISU Veterinary Medicine Supplemental Application. The supplemental application will open May 16, 2024 for the 2024-25 admissions cycle. The FINAL deadline for submitting the Supplemental Application is September 16, 2024, 11:59 pm EDT (10:59 pm CDT).

IMPORTANT – You must start your VMCAS Application first and then your supplemental application. You need your VMCAS ID number to create your supplemental application account. Once your supplemental application account is created we are able to record information on your Status Page and communicate with you via the Message Board which is our primary method of communication. Your VMCAS application does not need to be submitted before creating your supplemental application. Students applying again: You must fill out a new supplemental application. Unlike VMCAS, the information from your previous year’s application cannot be saved.

After completing the supplemental application and hitting submit, print a copy for your records. A non-refundable $80 processing fee for US citizens or $95 processing fee for international applicants (non-US citizens) must be paid via credit card online or via check or money order mailed to the address below. Processing fees are good for two consecutive years. If you applied last year to enter Fall 2024, you do not need to pay the fee for this year, entering Fall 2025. (Degree-seeking Iowa State University students and Iowa State University alumni do not need to pay the processing fee.)
