LMU 2024-2025 (c/o 2029 hopefuls)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
What were your vet med questions?
P sure they have you sign a contract that you don’t share your questions with others. I interviewed and was accepted last year he prepared to answer about anything you put on your application and questions about the field in general. They want to see you are aware of what it will be like to be working as a veterinarian and in the field collaborating with many people. Good luck!
 
Honestly, really well! Like someone else said on this thread, it was a much more conversational and relaxed interview. It was one on one and each person I interviewed with was so kind and had a relaxing presence which helped me a ton!
Did they mention a time frame of when you would hear back with a decision?
 
No, not that I heard 🙁
Same, but I also didn’t ask! From a thread on here of last year‘s applicants, it sounds like people heard back as soon as a couple of weeks for an acceptance, but rejections did not come until seats were full
 
Good luck to everyone interviewing! I can't wait to see who joins the Spring semester with us deferred folks. 😊
 
Happy August! Hopefully acceptance offers will be sent soon!!
I saw from last year’s thread an acceptance as early as August 14th and that person had an end of July interview. I’m guessing two weeks before we start hearing but still excited and nervous!
 
Hello, I just submitted my application to LMU. I applied to start in Fall 2025. How long did it take everyone to get invitations for interviews? I think for the fall cohort, the interviews begin in September? Thanks! Good luck everyone!
 
Last year they did interviews for everyone (fall and spring) still on the rolling admissions basis regardless of fall or spring cohort. For example I was interested in fall cohort and did my interview late august/early september, some people who were only interested in fall also still got invited to spring cohort.
 
^ yes they conduct interviews independently of what cohort you selected interest for. I had only selected Fall and still interviewed in late August and was offered a spot in the spring cohort. If you decline that offer you are put back into the pool for the Fall and have NO higher chance of then being selected for the fall cohort. I ultimately was accepted for fall but know people who had declined the spring offer and then were not offered a spot in fall

Super good info, thank you!! That’s nerve wrecking that you don’t have a higher chance for fall

Thank you so much for the info! Congrats on being offered a spot! How long do you have to accept or decline the offer for the spring cohort?
 
not me 😅 although I did do a little more research on the timeline - last cycle July interviews were 7/26 and the first acceptances were sent 8/14 so maybe we won’t hear for another few days at the earliest? Or maybe it’ll be later in the day if they start sending them today? Trying to have some optimism 🤣
 
I'm feeling like it'll probably be next Monday but don't quote me on that (I don't know anything lol).

That is 3 weeks since the interview, they sent out last year's class 19 days after their interview (on a Monday), 19 days for us is Saturday so 21 days makes sense. 🤣
 
They seem to typically send out acceptances between 1-3 EST from stalking previous forums. This is so nerve wracking

Ohhh! I was thinking it would be early morning since I got my interview invite around 9am EST.
 
I received an interview invite today!

For those of you who have done the interview already, does it say on the invite which cohort it is for? I applied for the Fall 2025 cohort but my invite doesn't specify which cohort it is for. Thanks guys! Good luck and I hope you all hear back today re: admissions!

Congrats!! What day is your interview?
 
Congrats!! I received an interview invite too and was wondering the same thing! Mine didn’t specify whether it was for the fall or spring either!
 
It won't specify, they use your interview for both cohorts regardless!
 
Hi all! I had my interview July 29th as well, have yet to hear back! Let’s hope its this week we can hear something. Good luck to all 🙂

I really didn't want to have to pay tuition for a class this semester today so I emailed...the following is the reply...
"Our program received a record number of highly competitive applicants this year. We have not yet sent out any acceptances for the CO29 Silver Spring class, as we are still in the interview process for the next couple of months. You can monitor your status update through VMCAS and any updates to this will be conveyed to you through your email."
