I have a Lenovo yoga that I love. It flips between being a laptop and tablet, super light weight. Also use OneNote on it.

Not that I’ve heard of, unfortunately

They do, but you would hear about it as part of acceptances. The people I know who got them were *exceptional* in their undergrad or they got a scholarship with very specific guidelines on who gets it.
Does anyone know how many applicants are usually pulled off the waitlist for the University of Illinois? I recently interviewed there but I am not confident that I will get an offer right off the bat. I was also waitlisted at Iowa State for the second year in a row so I am kind of upset about that.
Truly depends on the year. For class of 2020, no one was pulled from the wait list. @SkiOtter was pulled off the wait list for her year (don't remember when that was). My bestie was pulled off in July for my year.
The Monday after deposits were due. I know a couple other people in my class were pulled from it too
Does anyone know how many people were interviewed this year? I know it's typically around 400.
Didn’t they say 370 people this year during the info session or did I imagine that lol?
I was freaking out before my interview so I can't remember anything that was said during the info session LOL. Thanks!

I was pulled off the waitlist for the class of 2023 (ultimately ended up deferring to 2024). I had actually done a file review a few weeks after I found out I was waitlisted and was told I had just barely missed the mark. They called me a few days after that with the acceptance offer.
Hard to say, tbh. There's a lot of factors influencing things this year. Don't know if there were any technological issues or anything. So I would just hold tight until March 1.
And they still haven’t given third years our clinics schedules 🙃🙃
which I feel like may be slightly more important than admissions decisions since we start clinics in 5 weeks 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬
Oh man!!! So I've been panicking all day for nothing 🤣

Oh don't worry. When I was accepted, I saw people here getting their acceptances left and right, but I didn't have a letter either way. Mail came and went with nothing for me. Didn't realize until later that evening when my younger sister called me to tell me that there was a letter from Illinois for me that they sent my letter to my permanent address and not my mailing address. lol. Was on the verge of tears all day simply cause of an address switch.
Oh my goodness, that sounds tortuous. I'm happy that you ended up getting an acceptance!!!!
Bought my first t-shirt the next day! It started a trend that is now a problem called an excessive school spirit collection.
Accurate
Also when I got my call I deeeeefinitely bought a tshirt later that afternoon
Curious question: They said that they send out both snail mail letters and emails. Is that only for acceptances or for everyone? And which one should we be expecting first?
From the previous cycle's threads I think email before snail mail and everyone receives both.

I think tomorrow is the day and I'm getting really nervous.
same 😅
I thought they said we won’t hear until the 1st?
I understood it as we’ll hear by the 1st. So anytime between now and then
I didn't sleep at all Thursday night in anticipation that we'd hear Friday. I'm really hoping we hear tomorrow so I can actually get some sleep 🤣
hoping today is the day so i can stop obsessively checking my email and this thread😅
I hope we hear today! I had a dream a few months ago that I got an email from Illinois today, so fingers crossed it's right lol

Well it looks like it won’t be today 😭
So I’m getting a little ahead of myself and looking at houses lol. For current students at the village, are the 2 bedrooms on the 2nd floor? I was looking at either a 2 or 3 bedroom, but I have a german shepherd coming with me, so I’d ideally rather be on a first floor if possible.
@SportPonies
I meant to ask this during my interview but do you know if there is an acupuncture elective/certification? @SkiOtter @battie
Not that I’m aware of. We do have an integrative medicine club, so they might do some sort of certification or a wetlab? Or could potentially be open to hosting that sort of thing if you join the club and ask
Gotcha, That makes sense! Thanks!
Most people I know that have this certification got it post DVM from the Chi Institute. Although I know there are other ways to get it as well but that may be an option worth looking into!
One of our equine clinicians is certified in acupuncture though. Even if you're not interested in horses, getting in touch with her would be a great way to see it/a good jumping board for more info

I have a good feeling about hearing today! Fingers crossed!
I received recruitment scholarship/s but did not receive them and was not informed of them until the regular scholarship awards ceremony in March.
The two bedrooms are two-story apartments, with the bedrooms on the second floor.
The three bedrooms are one story and are available on ground floor as well as second and third floors of the complex.

Thank you! That is great information.
Yes! I've worked with a bunch of docs who also did the Chi institute. I work with one doc who went to CSU and got her certification via an elective course. I think hers was cura core. I like her methods the best so I could always take the course after obtaining my DVM. Although it would be awesome if more schools offered it as electives!
OOS acceptance!
