Hi everyone!
Good luck to all applying this year! I would say definitely apply to Cornell cause it can't hurt to try.
Their formula system of calculating your gpa+ interview+ everything may end up working in your favour
You probably all have access to it but I have pasted it here for easy reference

Also, not to be a downer for anyone, but I have just wanted to update everyone here on the current tuition for 2014/2015
Per year, it is ~$66k tuition for OOS applicants, and ~$49k tuition for IS applicants, which is QUITE a significant boost from what i was used to seeing one-two years ago (~43k OOS and ~28k IS)
It is more shocking than anything, but I just wanted to make sure everyone is aware of the tuition rate..do not let this deter you from applying though!
Which makes me wonder.. what is the future of vet tuition? At this rate, will it hike up to $100k/year by the time all of us graduate? Who really is financially capable" to study veterinary medicine then?.. what a whirlwind.
