I highly recommend reading over past interview questions here: http://schools.studentdoctor.net/sc...versity-college-of-veterinary-medicine#panel2
Congrats! Are you IS or OOS? This OOS extra waiting time is killer
.
Nah. But is it relevant anyway, an interview is an interview once you've got one.
I emailed them about this last year they take the highest grade and add it to the calculation
So they don't factor in the first poor grade? Or they factor both in to average it ?
If I remember correctly they just include the highest grade, except for your last 45 hours GPA where they will include both if both were in your last 45 hours.
Congrats! Best of luck!
They sent out the first weekend invites out on three separate days so there's still hope for even the second weekend for us!
I hear it's a lot cheaper to fly into Kansas City and rent a car to drive to Manhattan!Flights to Kansas in early January are pretty expensive
Thanks Bryan! I know, it would have been awesome to meet up before/after interviews (and for the pizza party haha!) Flights to Kansas in early January are pretty expensive
I'm flying into Kansas City instead of Mannhattan. Round trip tickets from LAX to Mannhattan were about $636 when I looked, round trip tickets to Kansas City were only $132! I am going to fly in Friday, rent a car Saturday, and then drive the 119 miles to Manhattan. This also gives me a chance to see the nearest "metropolitan" area in Kansas. I'm going to a Chiefs game Saturday too

When do they send out rejections?
Seems to vary how they do it, but from what I've seen on here previously not for a while. In the past they haven't been very aggressive about sending the bad news, so I wouldn't expect that until well into next year. I think they put some people into a category of alternates for interviews too, if they want more or have people who decline/cancel. Until January is ticking by, don't start having the oh crap thoughts if it's still radio silence.
I don't know all mine off the top of my head, but I definitely didn't have the highest gpa but did have pretty good GRE scores (153V, 160Q, 4.5 writing). Also, I didn't have a super high number of vet hours (but lots of animal hours). Hoping you get an interview too!!
She is THE BEST my VMCAS got messed up due to snail mail :/ and she worked with me to get it fixed! I also worked in the diagnostic medicine/pathology lab for a year before the research project funding got cut :,( and when I ran stuff to her she would always take time to chat with me
Personally I think open file interviews are much easier, because the committee already knows a bit about your experiences and personality (on paper at least) and you don't have to start from scratch telling them about yourself. If you come off poorly on paper it might be a disadvantage, lol, but I liked having the opportunity to explain the weak spots on my application. I never had to do an MMI, but they sound very intimidating! I had one closed-file behavioral interview with Illinois and it didn't go so well, I absolutely could not think of an example for one of their "tell me about a time when..." questions, even days afterward. K State's interviews are very conversational and laidback, I was super nervous but my interviewers put me at ease.
Hi! I got an invite for an interview last Monday- I'm scheduled for January 7th! My mom lived in Kansas for a while, and so she's concerned about the weather in January and wants me to fly directly into Manhattan from Denver to avoid that two hour drive. I've read a couple things online saying that Manhattan airport was a nightmare for other applicants during early January, so I'm wondering if anyone has a specific reason that they would fly into KC over Manhattan? (other than just price alone!) Thank you guys and congrats to anyone else that received an interview!
