for anyone else who interviews at Davis..how do you think your interview went???? i was ok with mine, but the more i replay it in my head, the worse i feel about it!!!

 

[hippo11]

aww...i know what you mean. i thought mine went well. the interviewers were friendly and i didn't leave wanting to cry! but the more time i have to replay it in my mind, the more freaked out i get...(i.e. "i should've said this..." or "i meant to say that...", etc..) well, no sense worrying...we'll know how we did in a few days! *sigh*

 

[verbal_kint]

Exactly. My interview went okay. It was only about 20 minutes. Did you folks get asked the "classmates cheating" question? Seems like they asked that one a lot! As hard as I've tried not to replay the interview in my head, I'll catch myself doing it randomly. AHHH! 😱

Some of the questions were a little lengthy and hard to follow. Others were short and open ended. Blah! I think I did okay though... I'll find out soon enough I guess.

When did you folks interview? I had my interview on the first day. I've been waiting for wayyy too long!

We'll find out next week, right?

 

[chickenboo]

I had my interview on the second day, so I know exactly what you mean, verbal_kint. I can't stand the waiting anymore! We are indeed supposed to find out next week. Hopefully they'll have mercy on us and let us know at the beginning of the week rather than at the end.

As far as my interview went, I too had to stop myself from replaying it over and over in my head, wondering what I could've or should've said differently. I didn't have anything that I was truly "stumped" on; most of the questions were ones that I had anticipated (about my research, about my decision to go into vet vs. human med, about some undergrad experiences, a few ethical ones about the cities wanting to ban pit bulls, what to do with dog maulings, and how to deal with lab animals/animals of ppl who can't pay). I think the "worst" question, at least the one that I kept thinking about afterwards, was "convince me that you deserve/want to be here". Not that I wasn't expecting it, exactly, but that I couldn't stop thinking "oh lord, did I really convince them?" afterwards. I hope I did.

Good luck to you all! Now back to trying to concentrate on work for awhile...I so wish I was in school right now, it makes the time pass so much faster!!

Hi everybody,

It is good to hear that I am not the only one replaying the interview and thinking about how I could have done better. I interviewed on March 2. My interview was fairly relaxed but I was nervous at the very beginning but calmed down after a bit. The wait is getting to me haha but we will know next week. Hopefully, we can all be classmates.

 

[verbal_kint]

just curious...

does anyone check this website out religiously even though Davis will be sending an email and there is really no point? 😀

[chickenboo]

Religiously? More like obsessive-compulsively for me. 🙂

 

[hippo11]

not only do i keep checking that page, i check my email at least 10 times a day! waiting is definitely the worst part! 😳

ok glad to hear i'm not the only one doing this!!! i'm trying to decide if its better to have a set date of when they are letting us know or if i would rather just be surprised and expect it at any time...

 

[friesian02]

ok glad to hear i'm not the only one doing this!!!

Yeah...I'm doing the same thing! Checking my Email, checking the website and checking the forums to see if anyone else has heard anything (I have a method to it now. I'm allowing myself one Website/Forum check for each time something lands in my mailbox. It's really quite sad). At this rate, I'll never get any work done! If only they hadn't told us the day of the last interview! Then I wouldn't be doing this until next week, AFTER midterms...

 

[chickenboo]

Not to tantalize everyone, but my bf (2nd year at Davis) ran into one of the professors on the adcomm this morning. He said that they're making all their decisions today about who's getting in. 😱 He did NOT say when they're emailing out their decisions, but at least it seems that everything is running on schedule! Best of luck to all!

Anyone want to have a contest: who can check their email the most over the next week?? 😉

LOL, it's on! I say official start time is end of business on Friday. Contest runs through whenever we get notified. Winner gets one gold star and new meaningless task to accomplish.

 

[RTHA06]

Only 5 or so more days....

Then what happens???

:0)

 

[verbal_kint]

so there might be a chance of getting an email on friday like for the interview invites????!!! 🙄 😀 😉 🙂 😕 😱

 

[chickenboo]

sorry if I got your hopes up! I guess they actually finalized everything today (the bf ran into adcomm guy again today), not yesterday like he thought. So I guess we'll know next week!!

 

[Gr8DaneGirl]

The davis website says it "email acceptances", but what about waitlist and declines? Does that get mailed out?

I'm not completely sure about the waitlist, but I think that all the responses post-interview were going to be emailed. I know that both acceptances and rejections were going to be emailed, so I would assume that they would be emailing waitlisted people as well.

 

[verbal_kint]

good luck everyone!

 

[hmarie05]

anyone heard anything yet???i don't think i can check my e-mail any more than i already have!!!

 

[snowyegret]

nope. this is super-frustrating! they did, however, say that they would be "emailed beginning the week of March 20", meaning there's no guarantee that we would get something today. could be tomorrow...could be wednesday. well, there's still some time left before C.O.B. today....

hah i know i guess i am just frustrated because they said the interview notifications would be e-mailed the week of feb.13 and i got mine the first day, so i though maybe the same thing would happen with the acceptance notifications....

 

[verbal_kint]

i know how you guys feel.

this day has consisted of checking this forum, checking my email, checking the about.com forum, checking my email, checking this forum.......

😱



😕 what is COB?

but hey, look on the bright side... at least no one has gotten the email... (does anyone know anyone?)

 

[verbal_kint]

adding fuel to the fire... they actually starting sending interview invites the friday before (the 10th).

 

[snowyegret]

😕 what is COB?

COB = close of business

 

[verbal_kint]

ahhh... thank you thank you! I guessed that, but never heard the term before until now.

 

[sulcatta]

This is so gut-wrenching. I checked my email and came straight to SDN to see if anyone else has heard anything yet. The wait is a killer. First we have to wait for interviews then conduct the interview and then wait again. This is so much fun (in sarcastic tone of voice).

Good Luck everybody

 

[chickenboo]

God I know. The worst part is, THEY know who's getting in, and they're just sitting on the information. It's torture!!!

 

[friesian02]

Check your Emails everyone!! 😉

 

[snowyegret]

Check your Emails everyone!! 😉

friesian, does this mean you got something in your email? i still haven't gotten anything yet.... 😕

 

[Gr8DaneGirl]

Check your emails. I'm in. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

 

[verbal_kint]

Congrats to those who have gotten in! I wish I were you!

I'm still waiting...

glad to know they're sending them at least...

 

[chickenboo]

urgh, I haven't gotten anything yet!! Davis is too cruel.

 

[snowyegret]

my left click button is on the verge of breaking from me hitting refresh too much!

 

[chickenboo]

oops! duplicate of below, sorry.

 

[chickenboo]

SERIOUSLY. What the h*ll are they doing over at the dean's office??? They BETTER not send out emails on different days, that would kill me.

 

[verbal_kint]

they are probably eating lunch now... 😡

i'll stop refreshing my email until 1 pm. meet you guys back here? 😀

(i don't normally use these smiley face dealies, but for some reason, they help me express myself on days like today)

Oh, for those who have gotten the email... what does the subject say?

I know...how can they take lunch breaks at a time like this?? It's a deal...see you back here at 1 (although I can't guarantee I'll be able to stop checking my email until then! 😛 )

 

[friesian02]

Oh, for those who have gotten the email... what does the subject say?

Subject says: UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine

Very nondescript! And you have to scroll down for an inordinate amount of time to get to the body of the letter.

Good luck! I've got my fingers crossed for you guys.

 

[chickenboo]

All right, I'm breaking my promise. In addition to verbal_kint's question about what the subject line says, do they give all the pertinent info., i.e. how to accept/decline your place in the class, or do they just have more info. to follow?

 

[snowyegret]

grrr.... still haven't received anything yet. and now i have to go to lab so i won't have email access until later this evening.

good luck to all who have not yet heard!

 

[verbal_kint]

maybe they're sending them out alphabetically? 😕

 

[verbal_kint]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!


I just got my email!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA.

oh, it's good news! 😀 😀 😀 😀 OH GOD.

i am going to go run around now!

 

[chickenboo]

Me Toooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo-hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[chathaid]

congrats to all of you who've gotten in!
i'm still waiting. 🙁

 

[RTHA06]

Congrats everyone,
Still waiting too...
I am trying not to be obsessive (yeah right ) but I wonder how late I should keep checking until I give up for tomorrow!

 

[hmarie05]

i just got back from work and checked my e-mail....I'M IN!!!!!

 

[chathaid]

Congrats everyone,
Still waiting too...
I am trying not to be obsessive (yeah right ) but I wonder how late I should keep checking until I give up for tomorrow!

i'm hoping that the order of notification (if it's not completely random) is based on your interview date... i had mine earlier this month. did you schedule yours later as well?

 

[RTHA06]

My interview date was on March 1st. I hope we don't have to wait until tomorrow or LATER!!!!

For those of you who are in, could you share some info on the type of email???? thank you! Just think---only a few minutes ago your life was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO different!

 

[snowyegret]

Davis, here I come! Wow, after all that waiting, I'm finally back at my computer and it looks like the email was received around 2:30 today.... YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kokoshi]

Hi everyone! I'm new here today... and I'm IN AT DAVIS! Yay! I'm looking forward to getting to know you all 🙂
