I got in too....!!!!!! So excited!!!!
Wait List. Again.
Well, at least I have a "possibility" of being offered admission, this time. Last year, it was not likely.
There's still hope, I guess. Some IS could defer, maybe.
OMG Yay Malhi!!!! Non-trads represent!!!
Was the envelope big, little, what? Did it have anything else in it (e.g. a postcard)? I want to prepare myself!
Thanks Nyanko,
I'm hoping I'm at that number 1 or 2 spot on the list and somebody really likes somewhere else.
Man, all of my non-trad buddies are getting in. I wanna come too!
So instead of assigning numbers to your waitlist position, do they instead say you have a possibility or not have a possibility of being accepted? Because mine says "given your relative position on the list it is somewhat unlikely that you will be offered admission." I'm so confused, why don't they just give numbers then? Does anyone know if this means I really don't have a chance? Do other people's letters say they do have a possibility of getting offered admission? I would appreciate any enlightenment.
Thanks.
Last year I got the same letter as you, this year I got one that said "given my relative position I have a possibility of being offered admission". I assume they can't give you a number because after the 15th they may review the list. But I'm not an admissions counselor. Last year when I talked with Mary, in the post mortem, she gave me my position, 28 from the last admitted. Hope that helps somewhat.
Do we have any idea about how many people they would put on the waitlist?
This is true.I could be totally wrong, but from their information session at the interviews I got the impression everyone who interviews but doesn't get accepted right away is put on the alternate list.
I got in!!! This is my first acceptance so I had no choice but to rip that envelope open and jump all around my house!!! I actually got in and one day I'm gonna be a vet!!!
I'm OOS and in the SF Bay Area, just FYI!!
OH MY GOD! I got my letter of acceptance just now!
I'm crying and smiling and shaking....I'm SO HAPPY!!!!!
stick- do you think you're going to choose UIUC, or are you still holding out for your IS school?
Yes, http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/group.php?gid=66382420801. If the link doesn't work, search for "University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine Class of 2013".Anyone started a facebook group for our class yet?
