So jealous all you international students getting news so early! Canadian student here, just got an email yesterday saying that all of my documents were received and I'm officially being "considered" as long as they get my fall transcripts in time. Not at all expecting to get in, or even get an interview though, this round was just to get familiar with the application process.

Anybody know what the average GRE score is for AVC? Trying to decide if I should take it again for next year.

Don't count yourself out before you even hear anything!!! No matter how slim you think your chances are, there always IS a chance as long as you're still in consideration.

I don't know about the GRE... They just told me they looked at my scores (which are average for to most US schools) and it was fine. It doesn't seem like they care nearly as much about the GRE as they care about our GPA. I couldn't find any stats... If the rest of your application is strong enough, don't worry too much about it. Retaking it can't really hurt you though.
 
Does anyone know when exactly we’re supposed to hear back from AVC? I was told early January...
 
Not sure. I was told after Christmas. Hopefully we hear soon!!!

Honestly I’m hoping today. They already know who got in and who didn’t. I’m constantly refreshing my email.

Last year people starting posting they got their acceptance letters on the 11th of January- so my bet would be you will all be hearing something soon.
 
This is tearing my nerves apart! I wish someone could sedate me for all of January until decisions are administered. :arghh:
 
I hope everyone is having an OK time during this application cycle!

I am an interview waitlist/alternate list candidate from the US. Are there any interview waitlist survivors out there/current students that know of anyone who went this route? I plan on applying to AVC again next cycle if I am not called off the waitlist.

They said that there could possibly be late interviews in June, and you could be called as late as the first week of classes. Does this list tend to move a good bit for International candidates? I checked previous threads but the timeline for CA/Internationals has me a little mixed up.

Thanks!
 
Hello! For those who have been accepted or have received an interview, where did you stand in terms of academic achievement (average of prerequisites, GPA, GRE) if you don't mind me asking? What would you say is required academically in order to be competitive?
 
Anyone hear anything? I’ve been refreshing my email a little too anxiously today, haha.

I asked a few people in my class, but no one they (or I) know of had done late interviews. However, from being a regular waitlist survivor I can tell you that the list moves fairly quickly, mainly because people tend not to accept or back out of the list due to an acceptance to a US vet school. My roommate was the first person they called off of the waitlist almost right after the April deadline, and I was pulled off late May. The school also gives students a week to decide if they want to accept their seat or not. I know people were still trickling off the list in June, but I don't remember if there were more after that.

I can't vouch for anyone applying this cycle, but I got in with less than stellar academics (3.29GPA and 3.5 last 45 and a GRE of 150/147/4), however, since AVC lets you pick which courses they use for their GPA calculation, I was able to submit my better classes. I don't remember what that GPA came to, I'd have to dig up my application. On their admissions page, it does say the average 2020 grade was an 86. with a range of 76-92, which is what it has pretty much been since 2016.


Also, good luck everyone! Hope you all hear soon.

Thank you very much for asking around, I really appreciate it.

Also, thank you for giving a reasonable timeline, the email from Sharon said that they could possibly call as late as the first week of classes, but I was hoping that wouldn't happen as there would be (manageable, but still some) logistics involved in moving. My primary concern with the potential to be called that late is getting a Visa/any needed documents expedited. It is good to know that the waitlist slows down in June.

I guess they are having continued technical problems. My nerves can't take much more of this! Here's hoping tomorrow is the day!

That’s what I’ve thought everday for the last 3 weeks.... I know someone who got rejected last week...

I was also told it was possible to be called off of the waitlist that late, but that didn't happen to anyone as far as I am aware. I also remember having those same fears, but after going through the process of getting here I can say this: 1) I got my visa at the border in less than an hour and a half vs the weeks it took for fellow classmates who did theirs online. It was fairly easy and straight forward. My agent did not even use half of the papers I brought with me, said I didn't need them even though they were needed for the online application... 2) Most apartment/house rentals do not even become available until late July through late-August (some Sept. 1st and on). I found my housing two-ish weeks before classes started (that really stressed me out though) so it wouldn't be too difficult to find housing for someone coming in late.

Maybe they sent rejections last week and we're all accepted! Lol. Wishful thinking, I guess! 🙄

Wouldn’t that be nice!! That’s great positive thinking, considering I haven’t slept that well since January 11th and am low on morale.

Lol I feel like I haven't slept soundly for like 6 months. This whole process is bananas. :diebanana: I guess it's small potatoes compared to vet school!

I strongly sense that we will hear our decisions on Friday.

I suggest that today we all do something relaxing while we wait, because I think I’ve shed 10 years off my lifespan, and I know you all feel the same lol :bang:

I work my third 12 hour shift in a row today. I guess it keeps me occupied and keeps me from checking my email every 5 seconds. Lol
 
Congrats to those accepted! I can't imagine how you must be feeling 🙂 I already posted about this a few days ago but in terms of academic achievement (prerequisites, GPA, GRE), where did you guys stand? I understand if that is too personal, but I am wondering what is required academically in order to be competitive with applicants who have been accepted. Congratulations again!
