It's probably just taking longer the closer we get to deadline. You only need one eLOR for verification. All you're stuff is in, I'm sure they're working on it, and you can call them if you must but...try not too worry too much 🙂
You only need 1 ELOR submitted in order for the verification process to begin. Tony Wynne stated on the Fb page "VMCAS will NOT accept any documentation after the October 2nd deadline, but WILL continue to verify those applications that have all their documents in (before the deadline)."
That's officially the most money I've ever spent in one go. The other day I found some of my earlier posts debating if I should submit in late July/early August, and saying that I'd definitely have everything in by September 1st. Boy, was that wishful thinking on my part. 
Ironically, this is the same day I submitted last year. Now I just have to keep pestering my last two evaluators, and write my supplemental essay for Illinois!
Story of my life... but I'm almost ready to submit my VMCAS!I finally finished editing my personal statement and submitted my VMCAS!
Personal goal: Be the last person on this forum to submit. So far so good.I finally finished editing my personal statement and submitted my VMCAS!
I'd say call and ask to talk to the vet (or whoever your evaluator is) personally. With less than than a week left, I think some stronger prodding is justified. I prefer contacting people via email because I'm super awkward on the phone, but if email isn't getting a response it's time to up the ante. Wanting some confirmation that progress is being made, or at least that you haven't been forgotten about, is totally understandable. It's possible your evaluator has seen all your reminders and just forgot/didn't think to acknowledge them, but even if he/she did totally forget about it, there's still a few days to get it done, and it's not like you didn't try to get in touch. Also I wouldn't worry about the receptionist seeming surprised; I wouldn't expect a vet to discuss every personal obligation on their plate with the staff.
Yeah, about that nc-state supplemental.... Lol
I took one look at it and was like "Oh god no"
They just sent me an email pretty much saying to get my butt moving on submitting it lol... Guess I better do that the rest of today...
i keep getting those kinds of emails from VMCAS
I am applying (VMCAS already sent in) for the first time this year too! Goodluck!!
I made a mistake and sent my GRE scores to the wrong Illinois. I had them sent saturday but it still says pending. 🙁My Illinois supplemental is done except for linking my GRE. I hope the scores come through in time for Wednesday!
I would assume since you are using the coursework entry service that if your transcripts are in then the entry will occur at the same time of verification. I'd call VMCAS and ask.
For anyone else who may have a similar question I called and everything is okay! As long as VMCAS has your transcripts, you will still be meeting the deadline if you submit Oct 2!
Wooooooo! Good job! Now, we wait.....
Yeah...I'm of the personality type where once something is out of my hands I tend not to dwell on it. Like a week from now I'll completely forget I even submitted to vet school
God no. That would drive me crazy. I only visited those when I was trying to see what I should aim for in terms of experience hours. At this point it would just be torture.
I just found out about these forums after I applied to 5 vet schools. So I am just curious what my fellow and past applicants are thinking. I wish I knew about this when I applied the first time last year.
By the looks of your username, you are into wildlife and exotic animals. Can I ask where you applied to?
You guess correctly 🙂 UF, NCSU, UTK, and Penn. I would have applied to Mizzou and Kansas if they were closer to family.
Okay, I am in Texas, but I am from Kansas City so I applied to Mizzou, Kansas, Illinois, Auburn and of course Texas A&M. I was a zookeeper for 3 years before going back to school and applying. I hope my application wasn't too wildlife/zoo heavily. I hear the people that read essays are small animal people who may not be into exotic animal medicine
Nice 🙂 being a zookeeper must have been really cool!
Did you look on your My GRE account to make sure that you sent the correct scores?
It probably would have been better just to send the most recent, I'm not sure how much schools actually look at GRE score improvement
Hm, well try to breathe for now, and contact ETS and the schools you applied to in the morning. Maybe the school did get both but just the one set of scores is posted.
It wasn't only improvement. I remembered hearing/reading/I might have imagined that some of the schools I applied to wanted all the scores from your GRE not just your best or most recent. Who knows. If they would just let you take in a piece of paper with your school info on it I feel like it would be a little easier.
What's your team?
