How manageable is the workload on terms of classes? I don't have a problem with studying day in and day out but is it common to feel overwhelmed with the amount of information? (Especially asking since Mizzou's course schedule is a bit more rigorous)

Mizzou wouldn't have it set up the way they do if it wasn't manageable. Is it challenging? Yes - but every year a class graduates so if we can do it, you certainly can too!!

Honestly... when you compare our schedule and credit load to other schools... it's similar or right on the money. It's not a whole lot "more rigorous," in my mind, it's just more draining to have an extra 8 weeks of class compared to getting that 8 weeks off for vacation. When it comes right down to it, we only "shave off" 8 weeks off of the normal 3+1 model, we just take away some vacation time to put those 16 weeks in before other schools. So I guess it depends on who you talk to, but regardless of where you go... vet school is going to be overwhelming. Very overwhelming.

However. There are professors and classmates and your bigs (upperclassman) ready to help you through. You will have a support system, and these people will get you through the hard times. While you are drowning in an ocean of information, you will start learning to swim (aka study), and you will get really really good at treading water. You get adjusted to the schedule and it doesn't get as overwhelming as it did when you first come in (it's just exhausting if anything). You'll always have a body of information pounding down on you, but you become a much better swimmer, and you'll be able to juggle better as you move through.

 

[lagomorphic]

Thank you for the clarity both of you! And yes I do figure if others can and have done it then it is doable, just gotta learn how to swim

Congrats!!!!!

I'm not biased or anything... but even if you get accepted to ISU you should totally go to your Mizzou interview. I was 150% against Mizzou until I arrived at my interview and toured the school. You'll never know if you will fall in love with something until you go check it out

 

[ImAVet]

Has any OOSer received their acceptance package via snail mail yet? Dying for mine to come in!

 

[deleted676737]

Well. I finally got home from NYC today, and read the interview invite. I'm actually starting to think that Mizzou may be a huge stretch for me, despite being IS... my academic score is absolutely abysmal. I guess I just have to hope that I can make up for it at the interview.

Do not be discouraged! Look my GREs were crap 145/145/4, with an average gpa of 3.5 ish. I got accepted! They look at the whole person. I'm living proof of that! Just kill it during the interview!

 

[Tbeezer12]

Is anyone still confused by the dress code thing? Out of all things to be concerned about in vet school, I feel like wearing your undergrad's school shirt, for example, shouldn't even be a concern. The vast majority of my shirts or sweatshirts have a school logo on them...

Also, I'm finding it very difficult to convince myself that I can go to Missouri. I'm still waiting on a number of schools to get back to me, but I haven't really found a compelling reason to go.

If you read the posts above yours, we just recently had the dress code discussion... The dress code really isn't a big deal compared to other schools that require you to wear business professional attire to class everyday. My go to classroom attire was jeans and a hoodie - very casual and comfortable. Yea no undergrad attire is annoying but it is what it is. Id rather not be able to wear undergrad shirts than go to a school where I had to sit is business attire all day.. Now that I'm in clinics and HAVE to wear business attire, I am so thankful I didn't have to wear that during classes too.

Honestly, the dress code should be the least of your worries. You should let your decisions be based off- did you feel like you fit?, how much is it gonna cost?, are there opportunities in the field of vet med I am interested in? In the end you are paying a lot of money to go to school, you should be satisfied with where you decide!

KPow said it well. The dress code at first seems odd but once you get into a routine you can still be super comfortable regardless of not wearing your old school stuff. The good thing is 1) With clubs and other events, you'll have quite a stack of T-shirts even by the end of first year to wear and 2) If you are someone that your family never knows what to get you for holidays, you can always ask for Mizzou wear.

Was there something you didn't like about the school? I'll be the first one to say that our curriculum isn't for everyone, but I'm also one that would say put cost above all else since you will be a competent vet regardless of where you go. In the end it's up to you to decide, and if you had any linger questions about our curriculum/school we could answer them for you!

It depends on what day you have! If you are on the weekend, you will have the option to go on a tour, eat lunch, go to a student panel, chat up professors, and of course go to your interview. If you are on a weekday, unfortunately there won't be lunch or student panel but you can still go on a tour and chat up some students/ambassadors/professors/whoever's hanging around.

I guess what I didn't like the most was the curriculum. I realize that every vet school is going to be difficult, but every other school I've interviewed at has a curriculum that allows you to have some additional time during the quarter/semester to enjoy your time in clubs, shadowing at the clinic, etc since they only have a few midterms/finals. At Missouri, it just seems like you're constantly being hit with exams every other week just to squeeze in extra time for clinics. The lack of a decent amount of time off during the summer is also annoying considering that's when you should have time to go on an externship.

Additionally, the facilities seemed extremely outdated. The lack of pretty much any exotic or wildlife experience is also a downside (I know that you have a raptor program, but our tour guide didn't really make it seem that great). After checking the caseloads of some schools, Missouri also had the lowest overall of the ones I'm interested in. There was also an article in the news recently about how Missouri had to transfer a patient all the way to OSU for treatment (I think it was a cat with kidney failure from eating lilies). I feel like every vet school should have the equipment and faculty to treat any animal that needs help.

I hope no one is taking offense to my comments. I'm just genuinely concerned about what I saw/have heard about Missouri and I want to get an understanding of the truth from current students before making a final decision.

I think it comes down to personal fit, students who go to Missouri seem to really love it. That doesn't mean it should or needs to be for everyone. In making your decision you need to find a place that YOU personally love, that is a smart financial decision, and will offer you the best possible education for your interests. Mizzou has a long history of producing great DVMs, so I don't think anyone should truly be concerned about the quality of education that they would provide. With that being said, the way they have it set up may not be right for you, and that's 100% okay.

 

[alohacat319]

And I say that as a fellow student who has been accepted this year at Mizzou. I too am trying to decide what school is perfect for me, and it is a difficult choice. I think it is fair to ask questions and look for opinions, just try to be careful in how you word things, because to the students that go there now, to the students that will begin there in the fall, and to the faculty, speaking negatively about the facilities and education provided can be somewhat hurtful, especially in saying that they are incompetent at treating specific cases. No matter what you decide-- best wishes in your choice, I hope you do find the perfect fit!

No offense taken, every school is a little different, so one may be a better fit than another.

That being said, I will say that depending on you, you can be in all sorts of clubs/opportunities while in school. I'm in 4 clubs actively, and I know people who are in more and get lots of networking/vet/animal experience. There's a few that work over at the hospital and enjoy it as well. I don't know if your ambassador was involved in raptor rehab- but I have close friends/classmates that are actually going to be considered primaries soon... that means they will be in charge of a case and get to be there with any procedures that happens. They do this a lot and get lots of experience. Heck during my first week in school I got to get sub-Q fluids to an owl and I helped bandaged it. As for externships, I'm doing 6 weeks of them this summer and my friends did research/working last year. Keep in mind we have up to 16 weeks for prectorships and then 10 more weeks for electives so if you want exotics/wildlife you can get it... you just have to look for it! Overall, it's just a different way of viewing things curriculum-wise. Yeah we get slammed with tests often but I constantly review and process material- I personally wouldn't want a system where you only have an exam or two a semester/quarter- that would be SOOOO stressful. Honestly, vet school is how you make it- regardless of school you can find opportunities if you look and if you want to just focus on studying then you can just do that too.

@Kpowell14 would be one to ask about caseload/clinics. Though I would personally be hesitant to judge a school based on them not being able to provide treatment for something that is only at 20 other hospitals in the entire US. For that little thing we lack we have diagnostics and services that other schools don't have as well.

The curriculum set up has not inhibited me in any way from being involved in clubs or extracurricular activities. Ive done externships during both of my summers. I think most importantly, is that not only have I not been inhibited in any way, but I also get 7 MORE months in clinics than most other schools. Clinics is the Most important part of veterinary school. That is where you apply what you have learned in classes, clinics is where you become a Vet. To me, giving up some time in summer is 100% worth it. It might not be for you, but I believe in the way Mizzou does things.

Additionally, the facilities seemed extremely outdated. The lack of pretty much any exotic or wildlife experience is also a downside (I know that you have a raptor program, but our tour guide didn't really make it seem that great). After checking the caseloads of some schools, Missouri also had the lowest overall of the ones I'm interested in.

I feel like every vet school should have the equipment and faculty to treat any animal that needs help.

The building itself is old, but we have the latest technology and gadgets in vet med. Not sure what else you could possibly need - we have a brand new MRI, CT, Pet scanner, Linear accelerator, endoscopy, ultrasound, digital rad, SA underwater treadmill, capability to keep pets on ventilators, peritoneal dialysis, surgeons, neurologists, internal med, oncology - both medical and radiation, radiologists, nutritionists, cardiologists, ophthalmologists, criticalists, pathologists and that is just in the small animal hospital! (ETA: not only do we have all of the specialists, but we offer residencies in every single one of the above specialties and have a joint ZOo residency with the STL Zoo... )

Honestly, I would be really interested to know more about the article you read about the case being sent to OSU, because we have treated lily toxicity before, so why it would be sent elsewhere makes no sense. In my short time in clinics Ive seen cases that have been previously seen by Illinois and Purdue that were sent to Mizzou for one thing or another.

And as far as exotics goes... Yea we dont have a dedicated department, but one of my classmates has not let that stop him. He has spent time at Zoos across the country in his free time. He has 3 published research articles and is on the fast track to getting a Zoo residency after graduation/internship.. He is currently in South Africa doing a rotation which counts for in clinics time.. He was just previously in Taiwan and we just started clinics in October! believe it or not, Mizzou has several Zoo vets that are alumni. If anything, Mizzou was an excellent choice for him because during clinics he has 20 off weeks to do with as he wants - THEN we get 10 weeks of electives that you can do on or Off campus... potentially 30 weeks off campus is Incredible - and a great way to pursue whatever you want!

Our "smaller" case load seems just fine to me. I dont have anything to compare it to, but Im learning just fine.. And our NAVLE pass rate proves that we are adequately prepared.

I can get where you are coming from with the curriculum, although I disagree with not being able to do much. Essentially, you make time for what you want to do. I am currently doing research at a BSL-3 lab, working in the small animal ICU, very active in 2 clubs (although in 4), I just joined an intramural soccer team with other first years, and I am in the process of trying to shadow a radiologist at the VTH. Essentially, you just have to figure out what you can manage with the academic load, as it will be different for each person.

With regards to summer internships/externships, they tend to work with missouri students (some but not all opportunities) given that we obviously have a shorter internships. One of my friends just got a swine internship working off that concept. It may limit it a bit more, but doesn't exclude all possibilities.

With regards to the raptor class, it's a brand new thing, so if you got a 2nd/3rd/4th year giving you a tour, they may not have been enthusiastic as they just don't have much experience with it. My friend absolutely loves it, and she is getting to do SO much with them now that they are in the second half of the class.

What caseloads are you looking for (ie. Are you concerned about small/large/equine??) I can only speak for the ICU, but the caseload for the ICU is definitely pretty good IMO.

I keep hearing the facilities point with regards to Mizzou. When I was touring schools, I had the opposite experience and thought that it had actually better facilities compared to the places I was touring. So I am not sure where the disconnect is on my end.

And I don't think anyone is taking offense. Just want to provide you (and other candidates) with enough facts so you can make the best decision for yourself!

I know I made the right decision . At the end of the day, Mizzou really knows how to prepare them as I've spoken to many vets about Mizzou. Aslong as they equip me to be the best vet I can be, I am happy! Vet school is about how you take it. I don't believe you're going to be handed a silver plate of opportunities. I think you yourself have to be a go getter if you want to take away the best from your vet school experience no matter where you go. I've always been a go getter so I know I will not have trouble getting exactly what I want while I attend Mizzou

Hey, all. I just got accepted to ISU and found out that my appeal for resident tuition was approved! It ends up being several thousand dollars cheaper per year there with the discount than IS tuition at Mizzou would be. For that reason, I'm 99% sure that I'm going to be sending in my deposit for ISU and withdrawing my Mizzou application tomorrow.

That'll give you ISers one less person to compete with. Best of luck!

I'm super disappointed to not have been accepted and just wondering if I should sort of move on from the hope of going there? Anyone else in the same boat or have any advice?

Hi friends! When I went to Missouri for my interview and did the tour, I ended up only getting to do less than half of the tour due to time and my travel arrangements. I loved everything about Missouri, but I feel like I did not get to see enough of the facilities! I was wondering if I were to visit the school on a random Saturday, if I would be able to roam around and check them out or if the buildings would all be locked/restricted for student use only? I just obviously want to make sure I know and see everything about the school before making a decision.

All of the buildings will be completely locked, so you wouldn't be able to do that . However, you can email Kathy and she will email all of us ambassadors and get someone to meet you to give you another tour!

Ah I would feel bad having to make someone give me another tour just because I couldn't do the full one when I was supposed to. I know how helpful you guys all are, but I also know you guys are so busy!! I think I will most likely just stick with my gut that I did not miss anything that would affect my decision anyways. Thanks for the quick response!

I'm just one ambassador, but I feel like I can speak for us all when I say, I LOVE giving tours. Weekdays, weekends, whatever works for you! So whenever you know you'll be in town and want to swing by, just give Kathy a shout and she'll hook you up with one of us.

I'm just one ambassador, but I feel like I can speak for us all when I say, I LOVE giving tours. Weekdays, weekends, whatever works for you! So whenever you know you'll be in town and want to swing by, just give Kathy a shout and she'll hook you up with one of us.

100% agree of this statement!!

This is exactly why I loved Missouri. You guys all just seem like you love the school so much and love showing off the school! I will definitely e-mail Kathy and talk to her about setting up a tour since it seems like you guys would not mind! Thank you all

Hey!I am on the wait-list and I have recently done some more volunteer work and was wondering if any of you have any suggestions on whether or not I should email and update my application? They said there is no rank so idk if this would help or if they would feel as though I am just annoying them! Opinions?

Does anyone know how scholarships work for Missouri? I know they mentioned they don't send you any info for it until you accept your spot, but I've gotten scholarship offers from other schools so I'm kind of confused as to what the official policy is.

Do students generally get some sort of scholarship? If so, what is the typical amount/is it for all four years?

Hey guys, I don't have a facebook. But I am considering getting one. Is there a group for accepted students for Mizzou yet?

Yes there is ! If you get a FB, search: MU CVM Class of 2020

When I visited Mizzou I got the impression that *everyone* had a dog! Can anyone speak of their experience on this? I have concerns about not being able to support a pet financially (due to cost of living and essentially being out of work for a while while trying to focus on studying) as well as not being home enough to give him/her the required attention and love.

P.S. I need a dog in my life

Has any other OOS accepted or will be accepting their seat?!
