Cum GPA: 3.55, Last 45: 3.79
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.

Please tell me this is still well known at your school

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

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).

i haven't gotten anything 😢
 
I was told I'm an alternate. What's the difference between that and waitlisted?
 
Nothing has changed on my tracking page and I haven’t received any emails. Has this happened to anyone else?
 
Has anyone gotten a rejection because now Im afraid that's what boat Im in because I haven't gotten an email and my tracking page hasn't updated 😢
 
Does anyone know if they’ve made any phone calls today or if they finished yesterday?
 
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.
 
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 🙂
