Sounds like early next week is a safe bet. Cornell definitely sets a great foundation for all fields of vetmed-- they're well equipped for people interested in a wide variety of specialty interests as well as research and they seem to do a good job keeping with the times/ modern vetmed. It would also be IS for me and I went there undergrad/grad so I'm slightly attached.

My career interests are in exotics and shelter medicine and I absolutely love the area and make pilgrimages to go there at least once every year or two. It's a long shot for me but living there would be the dream :)

i applied ( a reach ) but because I’m interested in research/ pathology/zoonotic diseases. This was my last cycle applying ( accepted into 2 ) and was 12 year old me dream school so I thought I’d give it a shot!

Hi friends! I wanted to post to share support and such! I'm a current 3rd year DVM student at Cornell, interested in cardiology! I am also a peer mentor and involved in many other things at the school. I love meeting new admits (and applicants) and would love to connect if you have any questions or just want to chat about Cornell, Vet School, or anything else hit me up! :)
They should be calling soon, but also keep in mind VMCAS was due a week later this year so that explains the delay ;)

I applied to Cornell because I am very passionate about production animal medicine. I've always loved working with small ruminants but going to undergrad in upstate NY has also turned me into quite the cow person as well. I know Cornell can give me the tools to connect with farmers and producers.
 
I applied to Cornell because I am really interested in their Wildlife Program as well as the Aquavet Program! It also helps that the area is absolutely gorgeous, and as someone who currently lives in a more tropical environment, I'd love to actually experience the seasons!

Hi all! I'm so happy to be able to talk to people in the same boat 🥹 I applied to Cornell for the expanding horizons program as well as their work with wildlife. This is my first cycle applying but Cornell would definitely be the dream. I also applied to their dual DVM PHD program and received an email in December that those interviews (if accepted to the DVM program) would be Jan 28th - 30th. The interviews are more like presentations so I really hope they tell us next week so I know what to prepare and when to leave since they are in person if accepted. Good luck to everyone and we got this!

Do you mind my asking how many cycles you applied? (Congratulations!!!) and which schools you were accepted to? I am sweating bullets, so far I have gotten 5 interviews (rejected by one school that I interviewed with), haven't heard back from 2 after completing interviews and have 2 interviews to go. I have one OOS waitlist at LSU, no acceptances yet. I am really nervous. I applied to Cornell because of interest in exotics and the AquaVet program.

In all honestly I applied to Cornell just to add another school😂 it’s my second cycle so I saved up a lot to apply to a good amount of schools. I got my first acceptance this week but I’m still considering Cornell because of the newly updated facilities

This was my 3rd! I was accepted to LMU and Ross, the fact that you got 5 interviews is great! My first cycle I was waitlisted, second completely rejected and 2 this time, there’s definitely an element of luck, I was an average student got my masters in VPH so I would say you have a great shot!

Thanks for replying! Many Congratulations. Thanks for words of encouragement, my GPA is good, maybe I don't interview as well as I could. Congratulations on VPH...that looks like a really interesting degree program.

I’m an OOS alternate, a win for me!

Someone said they don’t tell you where you are on the alternate list right ?

I don’t have anything either, no email or change to portal

How did you find out, portal or email?

I got an email that there was an update in my portal and there was a notification right at the top of the page when you logged in. It was a letter that stated my denial.
 
Still nothing. Schools release decisions at the same time challenge (impossible)

Congrats to all the accepted/alternate folks!!

The silence in my email is freaking me out. I’m supposed to be paying attention to my Physics class right now
 
In state denial but it was a reach school anyway! Congrats to those who got accepted!

OOS denial! Not mad about it, this was definitely a reach. Down to 5 schools now ✌️
 
Me: yelling at my computer for both cornell and tufts- if ya going to deny me please tell me. The limbo is killer.

I'm using a computer and there is still no changes to mine yet. My initials are C.R. so maybe it is indeed alphabetical? No idea

Or they're working in groups?

Yep, it’s weirdly cut off for me too but the notification was easy to see when it came through and was at the top of the page

For everyone that got accepted/waitlisted can you write what Time you got the email? Just wondering if acceptances/waitlists are coming out in waves or maybe just rejections are :/
 
I think they are doing it in waves. I heard from them about 20 minutes ago by email. My initials are RH.
