What days are orientation?
Current MWU students,
What will orientation be like?
It sounds like we won't know the schedule until the day it starts.
Will there be another tour/lots of walking?
Do families come with us or is it more of a student only thing?
What else?
For the required immunizations and titers... Are we supposed to make sure we have records for all the listed vaccines before we get to orientation, but wait for any titers because we will do it there after?
Are we supposed to do the rabies vaccine series before orientation or wait until after for that as well?
We unfortunately do not get any free products at this time. Our clinic does have the lowest prices in the area and all midwestern students get 20% off.On a completely different note and because I just had to pay for pet food, does anyone know if MWU gets discounts on petfood like some of the other vet schools do?
Midwestern students get a 20% discount as well as already very low prices!Also, does anyone know if they offer discount on services for our pets as well? blood work, vaccines, etc.?
You will get your class schedule before school actually starts and you should get your ID badge by the end of orientation. If you want to get more familiar with the school it might be nice to go on campus a few days early and walk around to get familiar with the buildings. Most of your classes will be in Ocotillo or Cactus Wren. For all lectures you will be with your 100 classmates, sometimes they will be broken down into smaller groups for discussions and cases. Anatomy lab will also be 100 students at once but you are in groups of 5 and one of the 5 members rotates every week to be on a horse cadaver, so it will only be four people to a canine cadaver every week. Not sure if that answered your questions? Let me know if there is anything else I can answerOh since we're on the topic of orientation, I was curious about the first days after orientation and first days/weeks of class. What should we do to familiarize ourselves with the school/area, etc. Also what to expect in terms of class size/ lab size. Any info would be great!
I believe they met that Mon prior, I too had my interview on the 17th! So they said they should meet Mar 7th (they meet every 2 weeks) I assuming sometime around there.I interviewed on February 17th, has anyone who has recently interviewed heard from the admissions committee yet?
That is what we are here for! @PenelopeRenee is a year ahead of me, so she is probably a better source, but we are always eager to help, especially since we are excited to have more students!@GreyhoundLove Sorry if we have tons of questions. If you can answer any it's very much appreciated!

think I am losing my mind! I wish they would tell us alreadyNothing here yet! I'm hoping later this week though. I had my interview Feb 17th
Has anyone heard anything housing-wise?
I put in my housing request a couple weeks ago and haven't heard anything. I'm assuming they will give them at the end of March since they haven't already.
I have not and I just checked my portal. I'm definitely getting impatient, because I need to tell another school what I'm going to be doing with my seat!Has anyone heard when the admissions committee is meeting? I'm starting to get anxious

I haven't called, but did email last thurs, I believe, and they told me they should be meeting this week and to check my portal.Have you guys tried calling and asking when they'll be meeting/sending out acceptances?
