is anyone else unlucky enough to be applying OOS everywhere? my list is currently at around 10 because i'm so scared being OOS everywhere just means i'm not going to get in anywhere!
glad this thread's up!
I applied to 9 schools. I got waitlisted at my IS (Purdue). My acceptances were at 3 OOS schools (OSU, Mizzou, and Illinois). So getting into OOS schools isn't as taboo as it may seem, no worries!
I could use some help narrowing down my list guys.....
So, here are the schools on my list...some I realize are probably out of my grasp, but I'm waiting until I take the GRE to knock them off my list:
OhioSU (my ISS) UGA, Auburn, Washington State, VMRCVM, UC Davis, Purdue, OregonSU
My stats are: 3.38 cGPA (yes, I know, its on the lower end)
5 years in a medical research laboratory working 20-30 hours a week.
Showing dogs in Agility, conformation, and agility since since I was 10 (so, 12 years)
Running my own business where I would train, condition, and present dogs in conformation.
Fostering puppy mill rescues
3yrs horse back riding lessons
at the time of my app ~300 SA shadowing hours
~100 equine shadowing hours
~100 research animal shadowing hours
and yes, I've posted in the "what are my chances?" thread and gotten positive feedback, but I finding it hard to narrow down what schools I have a real chance at based on my stats......any opinions from my short list would be appreciated I suppose others are okay too, but I do not want to go to the "true" midwest (I don't count OH and IN as the "real" midwest, I count that as KS/MO, etc) and I don't want to go out of country.....
Ohio/Indiana/Illinois area IS the midwest! haha I will be attending OSU in the fall, and I attend undergrad at Purdue, so let me know if you have any specific questions about those!
Let me know if you have any questions about Ohio State, I will most likely be attending OSU this fall! I still have to choose btw schools.
Come to OSU! You know you want to
