It sounds like acceptances are starting to slowly find their way to the Class of 2014, so I thought I'd start up the thread and say big congratulations to everyone! I can't wait to meet you all next Fall. If you have any questions, about anything, feel free to ask.👍

 

[cowgirla]

Wait, are you saying I should have heard something by now?? Oh crap...
I need to go find the old Kansas thread now, and then have a heart attack...

 

[racccjlm]

No heart attacks! There were just a few people that emailed K State due to going out of town, etc. and they were told whether they got in (they haven't gotten the actual letters yet).

And thanks spyisis, appreciate it!

Sorry, don't mean to add to what I'm sure is already a stressful time. Good luck!

Hmm, maybe I should pretend I'm going out of town and email them!
I've had about eight heart attacks today...pretty much every time my cell rang, or my email dinged. I just need some good news already!

Glad I don't need to worry too too much then... have to say, I'm in LOVE with KSU and am so anxious about hearing from them...

Had the same thought. I'll do it if you do it! And I'm actually out of town lol but would rather wait for the letter.

Aww, don't make fun guys. I really AM going out of town AND got waitlisted.

 

[badcats]

I don't think anyone was making fun or questioning the legitimacy of your situation. More so the rest of us are just impatient to hear from them and for those who don't have a real reason to ask for advance notice it sounds appealing to say they do and know now.

And crossing my fingers for you about the waitlist, I know that Kansas historically goes pretty deep into it, so its not like it is just a nicer kiss off.

Indeed. And I really am out of town as well, just too chicken to e-mail. Would rather just get the letter.

Plus I'm not even sure who to e-mail.

 

[cowgirla]

I'm not making fun, I promise. 😍 I'm just jealous that I have no legit excuse to get an early answer. Even if it is bad news, I'm not sure how much longer I can take this stress of not knowing anything.

 

[zoogirl88]

I got accepted earlier today to Kansas!!! I emailed just inquiring about when the letters were sent out, (they were sent out on Tuesday) and I got an email back saying:

"You will be receiving a letter offering you a position in the K-State College of Veterinary Medicine Class of 2014 for which courses will begin this Fall semester."

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ECSTATIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dreams really do come true!!!



Hopefully everyone will get letters soon!!!

 

[Willowhand]

Congratulations Zoogirl!! Doesn't it feel great?!

I got that same email, and they said it so casually that I had to call and make sure that's what they really meant. I never expected them to tell me my app. status before the letters got in, so I wasn't braced for the news either. I'm still in shock... happy, but not entirely believing this isn't one of those dreams. But every several times a day the reality breaks through a little and I drop whatever I'm doing and starting jumping around saying "I'm going to vet school!!"

Has anyone officially decided on Kansas yet? I withdrew my Western application and canceled the interview when I got the news, but I'm going to interview at PEI next week. If I'm accepted there too, I don't know what I'll decide... though I'll probably have a better idea after the visit.

 

[smilin1590]

Just want to give all the ones accepted to KSU a big CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀😀😀 You all rock!

 

[zoogirl88]

Thanks Willow! Thanks Smilin!
Yeah..... It feels SO GREAT!!! I have been waiting for this day since I was at least 9 years old....

I do the same as you Willow! All during classes yesterday and today I have been just randomly jumping up and down! 😀

Its so surreal!!!

I am OOS at Kansas. (I'm an Illinois resident)

I have an interview at Illinois the 22nd, so we shall see.
I have another in Minnesota next weekend, but I already made all the travel plans, and I'm going with a friend, so I probably will still go up there.
My choice will be between Kansas and Illinois.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kansas (way more than Illinois), but Kansas is literally TWICE as much for tuition. SO...... I'm not really sure what to do.... I will graduate from undergrad free of any debt or loans, so that is a plus, but idk if I can justify spending THAT much money if I can go to Illinois for cheaper....

UGH! I dont know what to do!!!
haha.

I am in the same boat...though I haven't heard back from Iowa or Wisconsin so there may not be a decision to make KS OOS tuition is scare-ee!

 

[lalzi22]

Agreed! I love love loved Kansas, but I don't think I can justify the cost when Ohio is much cheaper, even for OOS. I need a couple days to think, but I think I will be declining my spot at Kansas, so hopefully it will go to an SDNer on the waitlist!

 

[Pomegranate]

So I finally couldn't take watching everyone get accepted before the snail mail arrived and I broke down and emailed Marci. I got an email back about fifteen minutes later telling me she's on vacation. Looks like I have to wait for the snail mail anyway. 🙁

conrgrats to everyone that got accepted! I hope I get to join you in the club soon.

On vacation? More like we drove her insane 😉

 

[SoNoDak]

Just received my letter of acceptance to K State all the way up here in Fargo! It came in a large manilla envelope! Good luck and congrats to all of you receiving your letters today!

 

[zxz130]

Haha, most likely. I guess I'm lucky to have gotten an e-mail in before that. Kansas is definitely #1 or #2 on my list.🙂

 

[mystic88]

Congrats everyone!! I got one of those e-mails yesterday as well and it still feels surreal. I think Kansas is my number one choice (I'm OOS) but I still have an interview at Oregon State, and I do like it here a lot too... But KSU definitely got my attention! Dilemma!!

 

[Pomegranate]

Probably, I jumped on the bandwagon just a little too late I guess. It shouldn't be too much longer for it to reach CA, right 😳

Well, my husband hasn't called me yet about the mail. He said he was going to stay home till after the mail came, so I guess it hasn't come yet🙁. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you I hope we both get in 😳

 

[jesiah]

hope so. so cal here, and nothing in the mail today. anyone from cali receive anything yet?

 

[Lissarae06]

I just got my acceptance letter! Mine also came in a big manilla envelope. Still have to interview at oklahoma state (my state school) so I'm going to have to wait to make a decision! I am sooo excited to be going anywhere!

Fargo?! Ahoy! I am in Moorhead. No letter yet..... bahhh!!!

 

[Animevet]

Nothing in Chicago...another day of anxious fidgeting ahead. 🙁

 

[variegata]

Poo. Only junk mail today. 🙁 This wouldn't be so agonizing if I 1) didn't like the school so much and 2) felt better about my interview. Come on, Friday!

[TrocarKarin]

Just got my acceptance in the mail! Going to wait until I hear from Western to make a decision, but eek! I got in!

I'm actually a Concordia Grad. You at MSUM or Concordia?

 

[nyanko]

Congratulations Karin!! 😀

 

[ankeith]

Oh nice! Concordia- graduating in May. When did you graduate? Are you from SoDak (just wondering because of your name)?

 

[Equidae]

No letter in Dallas. All I could think about at work today was checking my mail. *sigh* Tomorrow, hopefully.

 

[HopefulAg]

Damn, no letter in Dallas = no letter coming to Beaumont for another day or two.

Curse you USPS!

 

[Sharpei5]

Got my letter today in Dallas I'm going to be a Vet! It's unreal
other Dallas folk- maybe our awesome weather had something to do with delay in mail

 

[lunajett]

Since these two KSU threads are kind of paralleling each other, I'll just copy my story from the other one...

Whoohoo, I'm in too, baby!!! 😀 Like so many others here, it's gonna take a while to sink in, that I AM actually going to be a vet! And yeah, how the heck are we supposed to focus on anything else now? Can't we just take a six month vacation till mid-Aug?!

I knew to expect/hope for a large manila envelope. It was dark when I got home and as soon as I stuck my hand in the mailbox and felt a large envelope, my heart leapt. Then I pulled it out and saw it was manila with K-State logo, I just started giggling like a little girl. And I'm a 42 year old man. Then I had to go in and feed the pack and let them settle down whist I let the anticipation build. Damn good thing it was an acceptance and not "We regret to inform...", I would have died.

On, and for those still trying to put together clues for their own mail delivery, I live in San Diego area. I actually wasn't really expecting anything till Friday.

And, much as I loved K-State, I've still got my fingers crossed for Davis, my in-state. I think I could be happy at K-State, but Davis actually has a shelter med program I want, plus of course as my in-state it would save me probably upwards of $60K over four years. So, if I get in there, hopefully my K-State spot will go to someone here.

 

[SoNoDak]

Oh nice! Concordia- graduating in May. When did you graduate? Are you from SoDak (just wondering because of your name)?

I graduated last May and yeah I'm from South Dakota.

 

[Willowhand]

Got my official letter this morning here in New England. So hopefully everyone will have their news today 🙂

 

[ankeith]

I graduated last May and yeah I'm from South Dakota.

Awesome! I am also from SD. Congrats on KSU!!

Congrats! So I take it you'll bail on AniPhys? Can't say I'd blame you... 😉

 

[perihelion]

Got my letter today in Maine. 🙂

 

[xStormWarningx]

[jesiah]

hooty hoot hootums children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

[zxz130]

So, I hate to be the annoying person, but for the people that are at Kansas State what's the best thing you like about it? I wasn't at the pizza party for interviewers so I didn't really get to ask a lot of questions about the school 🙁.

 

[Sharpei5]

Congrats! So I take it you'll bail on AniPhys? Can't say I'd blame you... 😉

Haha I really thought about it, but I think I’m going to stay in the class and learn what I can and not stress over it. If I get a C whatever its all good.

I'm not at Kansas, but I will say that I really really liked it during my interview in January. I liked the town a lot more than I thought I would (I assumed it was some tiny town with nothing to offer, but it was so cute!), and the people seemed so nice and really interested in the students' well-being. If I wasn't going to my IS school I would be so excited to go to KS. During the pizza party the students during the Q&A had a lot of nice things to say about their school. Of course now I can't remember specifics, but I do know that I came away with a very good feeling about the school.

 

[utexasklb]

Hey guys- I'm new on here (SDN) and just got my Kansas acceptance! YAY!!! I will definitely be accepting for the fall so as far as questions about off-campus housing, bringing pets, etc- is there a forum for that? Thanks!
