Warning
REMINDER:
THE VMCAS DEADLINE IS:
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2nd, 2012 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time
Every year, VMCAS comes across applicants that wait until the last minute to submit their application. Statistics show that
over 85% of applicants last year applied within the final two weeks of the cycle.
NOTE: You should allow 10-15 minutes
after hitting the e-submit button to complete the payment portion of the application.
VMCAS and the Veterinary schools recommend that you submit your application to VMCAS EARLY!! Applying before the
last two weeks leading up to the deadline will help you avoid any unforeseen circumstances that may cause delays when
completing the Web application. This may include: web congestion, internet service provider problems, or credit card
challenges. Waiting until the final weeks of the cycle increases the risk of these issues and may prevent you from
successfully submitting your application on time. This could cause you to have to wait another year to apply to veterinary
school.
VMCAS rarely approves deadline extensions and the appeal process through the Admissions Committee can be quite
lengthy. Please note that you can submit your completed application, including your three registered evaluators, to VMCAS
prior to your evaluators submitting their eLORs. VMCAS and the Veterinary schools strongly recommend that you take this
warning seriously. All time is Eastern Daylight Time and is determined by the clock on the application server. Server time is
set by the official atomic clock at
www.time.gov
. It is your responsibility to meet the application deadline.
