Just wanted to let you OOS waitlisters know that I called today and declined my spot, so here's to hoping one of you gets it :xf:
 
Congrats on your NCSU acceptance hunterjumper!

Thanks riley! I loved, loved, LOVED Auburn, and I would have accepted there if I had not gotten into my IS. Unfortunately, the tuition difference makes the decision for me, especially with not being able to obtain IS tuition after a year at Auburn 🙁

I completely understand, I had to decide b/t IS and OOS tuition as well. I'm glad you had the opportunity to choose and were able to make the best decision for yourself. 🙂 I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to Auburn and hopefully we will see you at national symposium next year!
 
Has anyone heard who got the two OOS spots! I hope a OOS alternate on SDN got in! Good luck to all of you interviewing this week and next!
 
Ugh! I'm so nervous about my interview on Monday that I can't concentrate on studying for my molecular bio test coming up Thursday. I guess spring break being the same week doesn't help the cause.
 
Yeah I feel ya, my interview is on Friday and it's interrupting my trip to Orlando lol. Worth it though.
 
Yea I hear ya. Last year my interview was on Tuesday so I drove up from gulf shores to Auburn, then back down right after my interview, put a lot of miles on my car haha. This year I'm hitting the beach right after the interview. Miller, where are you attending undergrad?

That!

I'm not gonna lie, it's really hard not to get my hopes up. On the other hand, I have a really great back up plan if I don't get accepted, and I'm really excited for it too. Either way.... Lots of changes this summer. 👍
 
Good luck to those intervieweing this week. I'll be there giving tours Thursday, Friday or both possibly 👍
 
hey guys! I'm new to the forum and an alternate for Auburn. I'm trying to stay optimistic but I also don't want to get my hopes up... i dunno. :-/

Too bad I've already come and gone from Auburn! I was barely online during the few days I was there, but I had such an amazing time. It's such a beautiful town, the people were ridiculously friendly Good luck to everyone else who interviews this week! Here's to an agonizing wait for the next couple of week! :xf:

Mrs. Kaye that everyone should know by this Thursday or Friday (March 24th or 25th). But who really knows. Just keep your eye out for the e-mail these next couple of weeks.
 
Not sure if specifically mentioned rejections....but she told me Friday that admissions/waitlist emails would be sent out on Wednesday (March 23rd) So y'al don't have that much longer to wait.
 
Anybody got pulled off the alternate list and accepted yet? :-\ Anybody know when they'll start doing that?

I believe most people on the alternate list start getting called after April 15th, deadline for accepting Auburn's offer. But I have heard of people getting called off the list earlier, or as late as the week before classes start :/
 
Oh jesus. I just got an email from Kaye at Auburn, subject "alternate status." CUE FREAK OUT. Turns out it was only an email saying, "hey, we're just trying to eliminate the waitlisters who have already accepted offers to other schools.. let us know.." OMG WHAT A LET DOWN! NOW I WANT TO KILL SOMETHING!! lol Helluva April Fools trick, Auburn! Thanks for that one! 😛

Got that one too. Alternate acceptances can't be too far behind. Good luck all of us in waiting! :luck:

P.S. April fools = good joke Kizmet :laugh:

Haha, maybe that means my waiting will soon be over and I am going to be called off the waitlist! lol 🙂
 
I'm in!!!!!!!!!!! Kaye called me this morning.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for all the SDN waitlisters.:xf:

Trying to choose between UTK and Auburn ... any tips? So worried about making the right choice.
 
First off, Congratulations VetVetVet! 👍 I didn't want to say anything (mostly because I wasn't sure if I was allowed to) but they are now going through Alternate spots (as far as I'm aware....only OOS/non-contract at the moment). Also, VetVetVet....what are you most interested in? I can give you my input on Auburn....but I need a starting point.
 
Decided on Auburn! So excited and happy.😀

Hope to see many of you there (maybe even next Friday ... though I'm trying to find a good price on a flight still from CA) in the fall.

Good luck to everyone still on the waitlist.

P.S. When do classes start?

Sandy, I too am a Florida resident and I am trying to decide between AU and UF 😕 I was wondering what factors may have helped you choose AU over UF. Thanks!!
Oh my goodness! I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner.

Well, I agree with everyone that first and foremost it is a personal decision. When I visited and subsequently interviewed at Auburn I was truly captivated by the people, the faculty, and the general atmosphere. Not to sound too corny but it truly is a remarkable place and you could just "feel" that it was the right fit. Understanding the financial aspect of attending an out of state school with my family so vehemently against doing so I had to decline my invitation. It was definitely tough but I think that regardless of the route you decide to take to enter this field, you're doing so with a genuine determination to improve human and animal lives. 🙂 Best of luck :luck: and by the way..which did you decide?
 
Hey everyone,

First all, congrats to everyone accepted and best of luck to those waiting to hear back:xf::luck:

For those of you moving down here, I have a place I am renting out. It's a two story, pet friendly 1bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage style house literally across from the vet school. If you're interested, just PM me for details!

Thanks!
 
IHeartGoldens - msg me if it's still available come July or early August. Do you have your place on CL...? It sounds familiar, I might've seen it or something like it. hah.

Kas9ey, congratulations on getting called off the waitlist and welcome to the Auburn family! If you don't mind me asking, which applicant pool are you in? Also, there's a facebook group started for the c/o 2015 that you should check out if you haven't already.

Thanks! I am OOS, should have put that to begin with thanks for the reminder! I'm coming from Florida, so I get to keep all the orange and blue and stay in the SEC, good day!! I did find the facebook group too 🙂
