Accepted students: would you mind sharing where you attended undergrad? I know Cornell considers the academic quality of the undergraduate program.

GRE: 156 Q, 163 V, 4.5A

I think it was mostly my experiences that make me stand out. I really am passionate about research and want to pursue a career in lab animal medicine. I have a lot of animal care experience in different settings. Not a ton of vet experience but it was as a shelter surgical team volunteer so very hands on and reflective of the more difficult aspects of the career.

This gives me some hope to hear back today. I have over 5000 hours in research (it is my full time job - non traditional student) and grew up my whole life around horses. I don't have a ton of veterinary hours tho and my GRE scores aren't super impressive.

Also, the person who called me said that they would be sending out an email today, so not to freak anyone out, but I think if you do not hear back by the end of today, you may be rejected or waitlisted.

Yeah, that's how they've done it in the past.

Has anyone gotten a call today?

Haha it was definitely still popular when I first started college. Unfortunately it has died down as the years go by.... I had forgotten about it actually

Has anyone received a call yet today?

Cornell just updated my portal (OOS acceptance call last night)

Cornell just updated my portal (OOS acceptance call last night)

Was it your Cornell tracking page they updated or did they send you an email with log in info?

 

[DVM2024]

Just got an email to check my portal... OOS waitlisted. I’ll take it... better than a full rejection! (Plus I’ve already been accepted to another school, so it’s not the end of the world).

portal as in tracking page, correct?

 

[Future_equine_vet]

OOS waitlisted. Is there a way to know what number on the waitlist we are?

 

[Ginger1998]

I was told I'm an alternate. What's the difference between that and waitlisted?

 

[somebun]

Yes

 

[DVM2024]

Same thing I believe (my portal said alternate)

 

[mmm032]

Nothing has changed on my tracking page and I haven’t received any emails. Has this happened to anyone else?

I am refreshing this page, my tracking page, and both of my emails like a freak.

 

[Lisagk]

Hahaha just when I posted that I got my decision email to check the portal.
IS rejected

 

[futuredvm2024]

Where on the tracking page does it say you’ve been accepted/rejected/waitlisted?

 

[Future_equine_vet]

They email you a pin to enter to get your admissions letter

 

[Lisagk]

You get an email with your pin number and on the tracking page at the bottom there will be a box to put your pin number. It only appeared after I got the email.

I’m so sorry

 

[Topazz]

Second time applicant. I got the email and thought here we go again. Opened and IM ON THE WAITLIST!?!?? Guys. I’m so excited!! T。T

 

[jaboo]

Just some perspective for you guys since I know a lot of you are hurting and disappointed.

Cornell is my IS school and I also went there for undergrad. I applied 2 years in a row. 1st year I was rejected, second year I was waitlisted but never taken off. I ended up getting off of the waitlist at another school during that 2nd application cycle and going there. During my first year of vet school, I applied to transfer to Cornell Vet for my 2nd year. I got in and am now at Cornell, but I would’ve also been happy to stay at my first vet school.

My point being: don’t give up. Cornell is a great school but try your hardest to get into a school, ANY vet school and you’ll do fine. Also do file reviews everywhere you are rejected or waitlisted at! It’ll show you where you can improve if you have to do another application cycle.

 

[Red147]

OOS rejected got the email about 30 minutes ago. Oh well! Thankfully I have interviews To 4 other schools. CONGRATS to everyone who got in!! We will all get there

 

[sonagi]

I know that this has been asked before, but is there a way to know what position you are on the waitlist? I'd prefer to have an idea so that I'm not agonizing until April.

Also, congrats to everyone who has been accepted! You all worked hard and deserve it
