Dr. Sato teaches a poultry elective you should probably take! I know a couple people in the 2016 class who decided to become poultry vets. It takes a little more initiative than something like large animal or small animal med, but there are mentors who can help you get your foot in the door somewhere.
I think they accept more than the 125 needed to fill the class. If you check past threads in this forum, you'll see that they usually get pretty deep into the wait list because people apply to multiple schools and end up choosing to go elsewhere. So your chances are pretty darn good once you've been invited to interview. Even if you don't get accepted, there's a good chance you'll end up on the wait list, and possibly in the class. Don't stress about the interview. It's the easiest part of the application process, and this is coming from an introvert who hates all forms of public speaking.
Someone has probably already asked this question, but did you get an email or did you just check your online portal?! And congrats!!!!Just got my interview invite for the 22nd-23rd!
Cool thanks! Mine still says "in committee review" and I was verified on 8/8!! I hope I hear something soon!!
It's all at once. Last year we knew on February 15th; not sure if it's the same date for you guys or not.
Thank-yous are usually after; just bring a pen and paper to write down the addresses that are posted in the alumni room. Or take a pic with your phone. I didn't bring a resume (and I forgot to write thank-yous
). It's always been a behavioral interview in the past, so a resume wouldn't have been any help. If you're a girl who wears heels to an interview, bring a pair of comfy shoes to change into for the tour. You'll do lots of stairs. Think of a couple questions to ask the interviewers about the school. Think of some questions for the student panel because it's so much less awkward for us if you have things you want to hear about and we don't have to just ramble for an hour. Bring a smile and a positive attitude! And try to relax!
So for thank you's, you have access to the emails of your interviewers (is that what you mean by addresses?), and are emailing them later on to thank them?Thank-yous are usually after; just bring a pen and paper to write down the addresses that are posted in the alumni room.

The contract states are Connecticut, North Dakota, and South Dakota. I'm honestly not sure about OOS odds because I was considered IS when I applied.
If you happen to like barbecue, I went to Hickory Park during my interviews and I thought that it was quite good. 🙂 There's also a Japanese hibachi grill/sushi bar right off of Lincoln Way that I tried after white coat and enjoyed (although now I'm blanking out on the name--Shogun, I think?).
Everyone has to go to Hickory Park at least once. What kind of food are you looking for? My favorite places are El Azteca on Dayton Avenue, and the Cafe on the north side of Ames.

Yes, that was me! I'm glad to hear that you had a great time! 😀
I think if you've made it to the interview stage, you've still got a pretty decent shot at an acceptance. Last year, ISU only interviewed ~330 applicants out of almost 1000 that applied. Keep in mind, too, that ISU is a school where the OOS waitlist moves very quickly, so even if you get waitlisted and not accepted outright, you still have a good chance of getting in eventually.
