That happened to me when I applied a few years ago. Call them ASAP.
Do you mind sharing the email address you used? I don't plan on harassing them and I'm already assuming I won't get an alternate offer for any location I'd be willing to work at, but I'd like to keep them honest about actually telling me no this year. I think I waited until mid to end April before finally calling to find out I didn't get it
Don't worry, I'm in the same boat. I have an externship booked for the month of August, which makes it harder to find a paying job for just 2 months of the summer. That, and I desperately need something paid since I haven't had a single paycheck since two Christmas breaks ago. This is also my last summer break and I'm told I need to be getting research and it's just not working out for me. I can only hope I can land a temp/seasonal job somewhere.
Again, this is just what I was told, but most offers have been sent out and accepted by now. A small amount of hospitals are still in the process of making selections and calling their choices. I would definitely try to find a backup plan just in case.
That, and if you already did the SJP once, you have a really high chance of getting it again. I was told I knocked my interview out of the park, which is frustrating. Time to figure out plan B.

If you call the recruitment center, they can check the locations you applied to and see if they have made picks or not. Like I said earlier, I was able to find out that 2/3 of the locations I preferenced had made offers that were accepted, and one had yet to hear from the student. I was told I am on the waitlist. The Banfield rep at my school did say that she didn't hear back until mid-March both times she applied, but I was definitely told decisions have been going out for 3 or so weeks now.
Edit: Also, I think I heard there were 1000+ applications for 300ish spots this year. I knew it was competitive, but I was surprised that such a high percentage of vet students apply for it.
I wish we'd get real feedback on why we weren't selected. Our campus reps have told me they seek out small animal focused students who demonstrate an interest in working for Banfield after graduation, however a classmate of mine who is very much swine focused was offered a spot at the Banfield right by our school (aka extremely competitive because all the vet students want to stay in town). So who knows really
There are a few hospitals around me through them. I should try that as well. I've never heard of them before.
Haven't head of them either, but it turns out the vets I see in my hometown are part of their group! I'll see if they can offer any opportunities.
Was it from headquarters or the local places? I still haven't got anything yet. If it was from the local place than I probably won't hear anything for a few days thanks to Blizzard2k17.
Corporate. A really generic 'thanks, but no thanks' message.
I thought during one year they had told students to respond in a certain time frame...I hope you get it. Good luck!
Congrats! I was never contacted by any VetCor hospitals but luckily I was offered something elsewhere. Thank you for sharing the information.
I had to bother them to get rejected, just letting you know they don't do a very good job (at least historically) of informing students who did not get a position.
I just got the email today about being rejected.
