I'm also interviewing next week! I hope to see you guys there
Do you know if we need a parking pass if we're driving to the campus on interview day?
We were always told to park in the VTH client parking so no permit needed.I'm also interviewing next week! I hope to see you guys there
Do you know if we need a parking pass if we're driving to the campus on interview day?
Thanks
I've been looking around but all the class of 2019 acceptance threads from last year are empty on the AVC line, so I'm having a hard time figuring out when OOS students should expect to know.
Thanks
*sniff* We were so young....You're so much less lazy than I am
Edit- Holy crap, the FEELS from the 2015 thread...
I remember them saying at interview day that we'd be hearing back in early Jan. So I think that means soon
oooo! And also I should mention that I'm an international applicant from CA. THE BEST OF LUCK TO US ALL!!
Hey everyone! I spoke with Sharon about a week before Christmas and she told me that the committee had already met and made their decisions, but that they wanted her to hold off sending out the letters until the 1st or 2nd week of January! I hope that's helpful
Do you know what they mean by letter? Like, are we going to be hearing back through snail mail or email?
Looks like I'll stop stalking my mail man than and return to obssesively checking my email!
Unless something has happened recently, AVC students are entitled to all the same loans that students attending American schools are.
It'd have to be American. Canadian interviews haven't even started yet.
I know how disappointing hearing that youre an alternate is ): I'm in that boat right now with WesternU. The good thing is that these alternate lists certainly do move, so no giving up hope yet! ^^ And congrats on your other interviews! You definitely have plenty of reasons to be excited and proud of yourself!! No matter what, everything will be okay and you WILL end up in vet school if you keep pushing forward!!
. Ah gotcha! Okay so the remainder than has to be made up in private loans right? Which BTW, what is the max you can borrow each year all together? Is it like undergrad where the institution deems overall cost of attendance and then that amount is the max you're allowed to borrow each year? And just to make sure I'm not super mistaken (which I could very well be) the tuition at AVC is $40,000 US right?
Tuition at AVC in USD will fluctuate. Right now, you get a significant break due to the weak Canadian dollar. So yes, right now, tuition is about $40,000USD a year, but that can change. Also keep in mind that PEI is a high cost of living place due to it's isolation. I like AVC, but I'd advise all international students to seriously run the numbers before accepting a spot there.
Ahh okay! Yeah that makes sense ^^ I can only imagine how expensive things can get! I think that rent is cheaper though on average from where I'm from, so maybe it will all balance out? Lol
I'm Canadian, so can't help you with that. @that redhead might know more.Ahh okay! Yeah that makes sense ^^ I can only imagine how expensive things can get! I think that rent is cheaper though on average from where I'm from, so maybe it will all balance out? Lol
What is AVCs "cost of attendance" BTW? And if you don't mind me asking, what was the max amount you were able to borrow each year? So sorry for all these questions! It's just so wonderful to have someone to talk to about all this stuff noone else understands or cares about!
Nope, still US loans, just not subsidized (so interest rate is much higher). I dunno about max amount - I just took out enough to cover tuition each year. Tuition depends on the exchange rate, which is in favor of US students now. When I was a student it was around $50,000/yr.

No, nothing! I'm hoping tomorrow I'll get something
I appreciate all this info immensely!! I too come from a pretty expensive place to live out here in CA so just about anywhere would be cheaper rent wise! Haha. But yeah, I can only imagine the difference in groceries and stuff! It will definitely be something I'll have to add up and take into consideration. And I will DEFINITELY PM ya to get more specifics about that kind of stuff!Nope, still US loans, just not subsidized (so interest rate is much higher).

When I was a student it was around $50,000/yr.Cost of attendance info is in a sticky-ed thread at the top of this forum, broken down for each school. Rent is cheaper (I'm from a big metro area, so anything is cheaper than here), but everything else, including gas and groceries are a lot more expensive than stateside. Like @Coquette22 mentioned, any US student should seriously run the numbers for PEI. I'm happy to go more in depth on costs and such for specific things if you'd want to know that, but a lot depends on your situation (roommates versus not, etc). Also, feel free to PM if any other US-student specific questions
WOOOOT!! That's wonderful!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!
Are you for sure going to be attending?! And if not, than where else are ya hoping to go? Ooo and also, what part of the US are ya from? I'm dying over here waiting in CA! haha
WOOOOT!! That's wonderful!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!
YES! Congrats!!!
I'm still waiting on mine. Hoping it arrives today (and that it's good news lol)
! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
You're cray-cray.
Haha I knew someone was going to say something about that.... I love the downtown area with all the little shops.
I hope everyone else hears soon!!
