Thanks for the update! The suspense is killing me. I won't worry about contacting them unless I haven't heard anything later in the week then. 🙂

I interviewed on Thursday.

I interviewed Thursday as well. When we were talking to Ms Kaye, she said they would call and email those accepted and email everyone else either today or yesterday. She said she was keeping the panels there late Friday so they could make their decisions after Fridays interviews.
 
I interviewed Friday. They got finished late (after 6pm), so I'm not sure if they stayed or not. Kaye said that all decisions would be finalized by Tuesday at midnight. She will call those accepted, and email waitlists and rejections.
 
I got waitlisted, and I'm sort of shell-shocked because I don't get why?

Going to have to do some re-evaluating of my plan for the next year I think.

Withdrew from the waitlist at Cornell, rejected Wisconsin and Penn. Maybe one of my letters was bad? That's the only thing I can really think of other than just needing more large animal.

Yeah, my application was severely lacking in experience other than small animal really, so my plan for this next year is to bulk that up if I have to apply again. But hopefully we'll both get off the waitlist! 🙂
 
Probably more likely out of state than in state, don't think too many folks turn an in state spot down. I'm okay with it though, it means I'll be able to spend a year with my new husband.

If anyone would be willing to just let me know your GPA, GRE, Experiences and what not to see what I need to work on next year that would be great. I also got my rejection letter this morning so any information someone could share would be great. Congrats to everyone that got in.
 
Probably not what you're looking for stat wise but I waitlisted in-state.

3.9 gpa, 163 verbal 161 quant 5.0 writing. 1200 hours private small animal practice (half kennel half assistant), 400 hours wildlife rehab (listed as animal), 80 hours on app (and full time since which was discussed in interview) emergency and specialty all as an assistant. 500 hours biomedical research (non veterinary) at Emory. Plus a half dozen or so extracurriculars with student gov, committees etc. Letters were academic advisor, research primary, and the private practice vet. Personal statement was weak I think.

Wow.... I would've accepted you! 🙂 Lol. don't give up though, this is my second year being waitlisted (OOS) It's so hard to not take it personally and ask "why not me??" But don't give up! Fingers crossed that you (and I both) end up getting called off the waitlist!
 
I'm looking at it as I'll get to spend a year in a beautiful city just working and living with my new husband. So not a bad deal really, and we'll be more financially prepared. Best of luck to you, I know OOS tends to move a lot more. :3

How was your organic and physics if you don't mind me asking?
 
As in both organics , physics 1 was my only B from my main university, physics 2 in progress but A at midterm.

Yes I did. But then it said Class of 2018 at the bottom. Guess it was a small mistake. Should we tell Ms. Kaye? lol

I'm going to call her tomorrow, 3 year program sounds amazing! Id change my plan and go to Auburn in a heartbeat if that were the case lol
 
Mine said that too. Auburn is my number one choice. Id like to keep the acceptance letter for keepsakes so it's annoying there is a typo.

I agree! I hope they send us a new one. I kinda want to frame it and it would be nice if it didn't have the typo lol. If not, oh well. I will still be Class of 2018 and I'm so excited! 🙂

Congrats to the Class of 2018! If any new students are looking for housing I have a house for sale across from the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine on Wire Rd. It is a great location considering the parking shortage at the vet school and main campus! It's definitely a plus during your clinical year to be close to school. PM me if interested. I found that it was cheaper for me to pay the mortgage, utilities and home owners fee than to rent. It is also safer than living in a trailer park, especially during tornado season. Congrats again, y'all!
 
I haven't but I've sort of tuned out for this cycle and started planning my gap year and strategy for applying again next year. :xf:
