Just curious is anyone going to the AVMAC conference in DC this coming Friday? I'm planning on going for intel even though I'm a couple years from applying ...

I'll be at the AAVMC meeting all weekend. If anyone does come, ask for the VMCAS Operations Manager - I'd love to meet anyone that comes by!! I'll be happy to answer any VMCAS related questions too!

i went last year because i was on spring break and i live in the area...
it wasn't the MOST informative event i've been to, but they had all of the vet schools with their admissions reps there available to answer questions and to put your name on mailing lists, and pick up brochures...and i think they had a couple of events like "application workshop" type things...IMO to me it's been more valuable to actually talk to the people at the school directly rather than some person they've sent to a huge conference type thing...but it was nice to get basic information type things. if you're in the area i'd say maybe go, but if you have to travel from far away i'm not quite sure if it's worth your $$

I was there last March . . . and I met many admissions directors. To my mind, it's worth it as a networking event.

Alas, I'm working all weekend.
Well I'm going! And i know couple other ppl from my school will go as well. I was there last year and I made lots of good contacts and they remembered me afterwards. They also give out free stuff which is really cool🙂

I just realized . . . I'm off this Friday and Saturday. Would it be wrong to go and stalk the admissions officers who rejected me? 😀
alternately, i could go and beg Rebecca Russo at Tufts to speed up the alternate list. or say hi to Joyce Wason of Glasgow and Margaret Kilyon of RVC and thank them for giving me options.
hmm. is it worth the cost of an Amtrak ticket?
