Pending as in spots left? Or 15 seats pending a response.

Ugh doesn’t look like I’ll be making the cut then... I’m number 106. 🙁

I took it as pending a response, so I think offers were extended already for those seats which could either be declined or accepted.

On my status page it says Iowa Alternate and then my rank out of 13 in state applicants

Yes, the lists are separate this year! I am a fellow in-state alternate lister! Crossing my fingers for us all.

I was #69 OOS, received an offer this morning and will be accepting. Can't believe it's finally happening! I've felt so hopeless for so long. Seeing the support shown here for other people going through the process has been hugely helpful. Good luck to everyone still waiting and hoping.

 

[Chubbster]

Does anyone know how many seats are left? 10 more until me 🙁

 

[Chubbster]

18 positions awaiting response.
Next alternate is #72

Kathy said there won’t be movement today but there will be tomorrow.

Does that mean they have the ten seats plus waiting on 18 possible responses? Or total of possibly 18?

What do you mean the 10 seats? Not sure where you got that number.


I’m assuming there’s at least 18 spots left though and I’m thinking she says there will be movement today (Tuesday) since maybe people needed to give a decision by yesterday evening? I didn’t wanna ask for clarification haha.

Reason I’m so confused is that a couple posts up, someone had said 15 responses but she told me 18. So unsure if people dropped or what 😱

 

[Brittnicole]

Any updates?

 

[Chubbster]

I'm 79 and haven't heard anything. Makes me a little sad haha.

Yeah I was hoping there would be a lot more movement today!

Have you heard anything yet? They’re pretty close to your number

Unfortunately not. I wish I could ask again for an update! The silence is killing me.

I messaged Kathy yesterday, but haven't gotten a response yet.

She responded around noon for me when I last asked her. Let us know what she says!

She still hasn't gotten back to me. Maybe she is out of the office and that's why there hasn't been any movement either?

I hope so..

I emailed her the Friday of Easter weekend and she didn’t back to me until Monday which is understandable.

Hoping you get a spot! If it helps put you at ease more, those that got offers today have until the 29th to respond!

I know I felt defeated for so long but I'm glad this weight on my shoulders is finally gone! I can actually relax now!

 

[aspiringvet7]

What number are you?

I started as 151! So I'm trying not to hold out hope!

 

[Brittnicole]

Two years ago they got up to 150 so there is always hope. Is this your first cycle applying?

Yep it is!

 

[Brittnicole]

Yep it is!

Well hopefully it’s good news. This is my third year applying and I’m dreading having to apply a fourth time so hopefully i won’t need to. Crossing my fingers for both of us

 

[Brittnicole]

Also I know that #87 has accepted her offer. She posted on fb
