[Cowyakkin]

Twelvetigers, you are right. How rude of me...

Like I said, I have been following along SDN for over a year (stalkerish, I know) but only allowed myself to join the fun once I had all my materials in. I guess I felt having another venue in which to obsess over applications would only create more anxiety in my life and inadvertantly make the process harder. Once I read about peoples invites to interview, well, I couldn't stay out of it any longer. This sounds corny, but it truly is nice to feel as though I am not the only one getting hit with waves of nervousness multiple times a day. I don't think my friends quite realize how hard this process is...

Some basic facts:
- first time applicant
- graduated undergrad in 2007
- have primarily SA experience, but really want to get a better handle on large animal/zoo/exotics/wildlife before dedicating myself to any specific area
- I have a Shih Tzu (technically my parents dog, but I grew up with her so she's mine too, right?) who is a delicious snoot of a thing.
- and my favorite food is pizza 🙂

Sorry for the tangent and congrats to everyone getting interviews!

Thank you! A pleasure to meet you, per se, and congrats on the interview. Welcome to the official "we worry all the time" club. Woo!

 

[Pandacinny]

Oh man, I haven;t heard anything from Missouri. I'm guessing that may mean I won't be getting an interview...🙁

 

[hizarlow]

Oh man, I haven;t heard anything from Missouri. I'm guessing that may mean I won't be getting an interview...🙁

I'm keeping my hopes up. Some of the other schools have a 6 day spread in emails for interview. I don't want to count out a school so early.

 

[Malhi]

Congratulations to everyone who got an interview invite !!!🙂

 

[Moonpaw]

*problem: I return to San Francisco from an international trip late on 1/10. I will call and ask about it, but does anyone know what will happen?

If they have multiple interview dates (which they probably should), then most likely they'll reschedule you. It happened that I had two interviews on the same day, so I just called the school that sent the invite second and explained the issue, and they were completely understanding.

 

[LadyHitokiri]

Thank you! A pleasure to meet you, per se, and congrats on the interview. Welcome to the official "we worry all the time" club. Woo!

lol It's true about the worrying! But, I think everyone does in whatever profession they are pursuing.

But ours is the best profession!

 

[EqSci]

is anyone else going crazy like i am waiting to hear from michigan about the supplemental application?

Yes, but they said late October/early December and it's just now December, so I'm trying not to panic too much. Hopefully someone will make a post when they receive something, until then I'll obsess about my OSU interview. 🙂

Just a quick question to ease my mind. Is the early interview date for Tufts for combined programs or just regular OOS admission? You guys who have gotten interviews already, which program did you apply to? Just curious!! Thanks 🙂

i applied to regular DVM

 

[Malhi]

i applied to regular DVM

If you don't mind me asking- What did you say your area of interest was?
Thanks and congratulations!

 

[DVMorBust]

Another one of the 12/19 interviewees...I applied regular DVM, and the three interests I mentioned were Equine, Conservation/Wildlife, and International.

 

[Barnaby]

what about suitcases at the tufts interview?

for example, if you stay in a hotel on dec 18 and checkout is before 11 am on dec 19...what do you do with your suitcase? is there a place to store it on campus? is this an abnormal consideration?

 

[loo]

Oh man, I haven;t heard anything from Missouri. I'm guessing that may mean I won't be getting an interview...🙁

Pandacinny---remember that it 'aint over 'til the fat lady sings. Who knows, they might be interviewing in tiers...

I assume you've applied to Va-Md Regional as well?

Nice to see another "Baltimoron" on the forum--and I mean that as a compliment, hon! 😉

Most hotels will let you check your bag at the front desk for the day. I have done this before, even when I was just touristing for the day before leaving. I'm sure if you explain why you're in town, and that you need to store your bag for a couple hours while you interview for vet school, the staff of your hotel or motel, or b&b, will be more than happy to help you out!

Good luck!😀

 

[BuckleyGirl]

I was getting antsy, so I called KSU and they said applications were still being looked through, so expect to hear by end of this week or next about possible interviews. (I thought they'd gone through all of them already, so I feel a little more hopeful!)

 

[HopefulAg]

That's good to hear. Have been checking my e-mail religiously for a KSU invite.

 

[runnerDC]

when i interviewed here a couple of years ago, i left my suitcase in my rental car. if you aren't going to have one of those, feel free to get in touch with the admissions folks to see what kind of arrangements they might already have. i know last year they had a place in the admin bldg where interviewees could keep their bags during their interview and tour. i don't know exact logistics for this year, but feel free to give the admissions folks a call.

good luck!

[VeganChick]

When I had my Ross interview, I just took my suitcase along with me. I figured they had probably seen it before and understood why. Of course, that was just one interview with one person, not multiple committee interviews.

Loo, you're right - I can't get too discouraged! I just hope I get some cool interview news to post soon. 🙂

I did apply to Va/Md, and I've interviewed there the past two years, so hopefully they call on me again and I actually make it through this time. 😀

Interview Dec. 19th at Tufts!

I'll thank you for vetgirl87!! She's just getting the hang of all this and she looooooooves the forums on here (I introduced her after having been addicted to the pre-med forums for quite a while). Thanks for being nice and helping her out!!

[rachroo]

Sorry to 1) hijack the thread and 2) be such a Debbie Downer but...

for those of us who haven't gotten any interview invites (so far at least) will we be getting a rejection letter or will the schools just leave us in limbo for the next year?

 

[DollyyLlama]

If you don't mind me asking- What did you say your area of interest was?
Thanks and congratulations!

sure! i said 1) ethics and welfare, 2) food animal, 3) small animal

what about suitcases at the tufts interview?

for example, if you stay in a hotel on dec 18 and checkout is before 11 am on dec 19...what do you do with your suitcase? is there a place to store it on campus? is this an abnormal consideration?

i am also wondering whether i can stash a suitcase during the tufts interview- i'd like to go right to the rail station and on to boston rather than return to the hotel. if i find out, i'll post it here.

*problem: I return to San Francisco from an international trip late on 1/10. I will call and ask about it, but does anyone know what will happen?

i spoke to the admissions officer today- in her words, "those are the only three days, kiddo." no alternatives, no exceptions. looks like i'll have to withdraw.. sucks after investing time in the app, but oh well. i applied to 8 so i have some wiggle room. hope that doesn't happen to anyone else!

Is there any way you could change your flight situation so you fly into Missouri on the 10th instead of San Fran and schedule your interview on the 11th? Might be stressful, but it sucks to throw away an interview unless you really have to (especially unless you have other interviews lined up that you're feeling good about).

Might be stressful, but it sucks to throw away an interview unless you really have to (especially unless you have other interviews lined up that you're feeling good about).

first of all, thank you for your concern and for the suggestion, which would totally work in most cases. unfortunately, since my family is all booked on one reservation, any itinerary change requires canceling and re-booking all tickets. my option would be to turn around in SF, take a red eye to MO, drive two hours on wintry roads to columbia, and show up jet-lagged and incoherent assuming all the modes of travel are on time. i think it makes sense to just cut my losses, since i already have reservations about the school's animal use.

So don't cancel anything. Just book a flight to Missouri for the day you were flying into SF and get on that flight(s) instead of the one to SF. Sure you lose the ticket fare to SF, but it might be worth it.

Thanks LVT2DVM!!! I'm really excited, and yea its getting pretty expensive, luckily I don't have to fly to Ohio since it's only one state away phew!

My first choice is actually University of Florida, but Ohio State is my second choice so I'm totally stoked for that interview.👍

BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!

How frustrating. I'm so sorry it's working out this way. Looks like you've got other interview offers, though, so hopefully it'll all work out for the best!

first of all, thank you for your concern and for the suggestion, which would totally work in most cases. unfortunately, since my family is all booked on one reservation, any itinerary change requires canceling and re-booking all tickets. my option would be to turn around in SF, take a red eye to MO, drive two hours on wintry roads to columbia, and show up jet-lagged and incoherent assuming all the modes of travel are on time. i think it makes sense to just cut my losses, since i already have reservations about the school's animal use.

Gosh, I'm sorry it had to work out that way. Eh, who wants a school that's so inflexible anyways? 😉 Hopefully, one of the other interviews will work out better!
