As for the rest of us... after reading those stats posted for the avg accepted applicant, I am more than prepared for my rejection 🙂 I'll accept it happily.

Thanks!!!! I must have sounded completely ridiculous on the phone (total elated brain-freeze)!!! :soexcited:

I was super anxious since the first post at 10 am this morning, so I can relate! Crossing my fingers for you! :xf: Leave yourself some fingernails!
 
Super exciting! I didn't apply here but it's been fun watching this thread blow up!

CONGRATS to all (so far) and good luck to the rest!

I just got the call!!!! No word on the dual degree though...(I guess that means I am probably not being interviewed for the program)...BUT I AM IN TO MY FIRST VET SCHOOL

AAHHHHH this doesn't feel real

EDIT: OOS, L last name
 
I'm OOS and I just got the call around 1:15 that I was accepted. My last name starts with 'S' and I'm in Florida if that helps.

Yayyyyy!!!

This was my first acceptance too so I know how you feel! :soexcited:

Congrats everyone!
 
Congrats to everyone who got good news. I'm sure I will see some of you during accepted student visits. Everyone else needs to hang on as the process may bleed into tomorrow (remember that 102+ people are being made offers for 102 seats and that not everyone will accept. Take a deep breath.)
 
Wow, I got in! I'm OOS, New Jersey resident, last name with an S. Unreal! Got the call around 12:30pm Eastern Time, missed it, and got a second call at 2:30 *facepalm* hahaa.

Good luck to everyone else, remember that being on the waitlist is awesome too, so don't assume its bad news just yet!
 
Is it really going to go into tomorrow?

Prepared for the worst, hoping for the best!

Congrats everyone who got in - go celebrate!

During my call the dean said the emails would be sent out tomorrow, so it seems like just today for calls. Unless maybe they call tomorrow morning before sending the emails?
 
11:03am, Assistant Dean Kathy Edmondson called me!

I had to call back on my lunch break, but yep. And I'm IS.
 
So much anxiety until 11am today!!! Got the call!!! I'm IS last name starts with C. I also sounded like a fool on the phone! Good luck tomorrow everyone!!!!!!!
 
Congrats to everyone accepted!

I can't access my phone right now because I'm out of country, but if I were to miss the call, would they leave a message in my voice mail?
 
Got the call at 10:06am today as I was walking through the gates of the Bronx zoo!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO ARE MY NEW CLASSMATES!!!! I'm pulling all my other apps as soon as I have the official letter, in IS so this is it!!! Good luck everyone!

I sounded pretty foolish myself and kept imagining everyone else sounding composed so glad I was not alone!

I went almost deaf and totally didn't hear what she was saying...I think I said something about "making my dream a reality" and she said "and all I had to do was pick up a phone!" hahaha

I had the dean, they must have split the calls. I was basically spluttering thank you's and could barely comprehend what was happening. It was like a slow mo scene from a movie.

I just kept trying not to laugh and didn't know what to say. I'm sure they get a lot of interesting reactions. :laugh:

*waves hands* me! :soexcited:
I'm 98% sure I will end up at Cornell. Another non-trad here and I've applied to a lot of the same places as you! (sorry if that's creepy, I just saw your post in the accepted stats thread). I'm not going to pull my other apps just yet because I think it will be interesting to see if I get offered an interview anywhere else but Cornell is my IS too and was absolutely my top choice!! I can't wait until we get the email tomorrow and info for the accepted students weekend.

Thirded. I've already broken the "news" to my parents. I'd love good news, but I'd rather have the freedom to deal with a rejection email on my own terms.

Congrats to everyone who was accepted!

Same here but holding out some (very little) hope for the waitlist. Congratulations to everyone, y'all deserve it!!!
 
The excitement won't wane.

I think this is my body telling me, "This is the one" 😀 CAN'T wait to see the school and meet you all!

Best of luck to everyone tomorrow!!!!

I was going to leave my name in the pot, but decided it was just uneeded stress. I'll see YOU at accepted students day!
