I hope it starts sooner, the wait list email did say when our deposit was due if we got called before 4/17. Hopefully that means they intend to make calls before then
that's what I was getting from the email so I'm hoping maybe by like April 1st?I hope it starts sooner, the wait list email did say when our deposit was due if we got called before 4/17. Hopefully that means they intend to make calls before then
My cGPA is 3.3, Science is 3.35 and last 45 is 3.39 so I think you would have a pretty decent shot at an interview for sure!All the reasons they are tied with UF for my number 1. Ive probably have a better chance at LMU ( 3.3 science with two more courses if grade replaced 3.1 averaged.) Im hoping taking a semester this fall will show/count at UF and LMU if UF can see my midterm grades.

*fingers crossed*
We should be receiving "frequent" email updates from Genell, hopefully the first one will come soon. So basically we will all be frantically checking our emails every 5 seconds until something happens, just as we were before the official decision lol.

Does LMU do file reviews? I would really like to know what I need to work on for the next cycle.
nope not that I'm aware of and i don't think we could ask either. I'm not 100% sure if everyone that was interviewed was either accepted or waitlisted or if there were some denialsDo we even know how many people are on the waitlist? Even just a ballpark figure?

Yeah I feel that. Idk I feel like they really are looking holistically at applications and they want well rounded people. From my interview I felt like they really wanted to know about me as a person and not just why I wanted to be a vet. If they denied people after interviews I think we should feel pretty confident and that they saw something in us that they must not have seen in other applicants. We stood out on paper and person hahahaI think someone on here said that they met a few people that were interviewed and later received rejections so at least we're not competing against the entire population that was interviewed and not outright accepted. I'm just worried about chances because they interviewed soooo many people. 600 interviews...how do you even narrow that down?

Well that's good to know. Yeah i know it was a lot quicker last year. My guess is this is the first year they have to schedule 4th year clinicals and that has to be weighing them down quite a bit to make sure all the students schedules are set for next month and that they all have everything they need before they go god knows where haha.I emailed them and they said that not everyone who interviewed was waitlisted but she couldn't tell me how many people were on the wait list. I'm kind of surprised no one's gotten called yet. Last year people were getting called about a week after the initial wait list email was sent out.

Damn haha, then I'm not sure. Thanks for letting us know though!We schedule 4th year through the clinical relations department, not admissions. We got our finalized schedules over a month ago. Sorry
Yes you need the titers. Unless it has changed from last year, everyone is required to get their vaccine status checked with titers. Believe it or not, even though I was vaccinated when I was younger, at 21, my titers for MMR and Hep B were not sufficient so I had to get re-vaccinated/a booster. My friend from HS went to Harvard and even though she was vaccinated for something (mumps/measles <-can't remember which one), the school had an outbreak and she got sick. I would suggest doing it sooner rather than later because it can be time consuming. In NY even though I already had the full series for all of them, they wanted me to "re-do" the whole thing (Hep B has 3 shots with a 6 month wait between shot 2 and 3).For accepted students or current students; I just got the e-mail about all the vaccination and health stuff. Just so I'm clear on what I have to do- I got the hepatitis, MMR, Varicella, etc vaccines when I was little, and I have proof, but do I have to actually get titers to show I'm still immune for ALL of them?!
Thinking ahead to a graduation present for my vet school hopeful son (wait listed here) ... for those of you who are already students, would a stethoscope be appropriate?

Just quoting to add that these stethoscopes mentioned are made by Littmann, just so that they're easier for you to find if you want to look these ones up.Absolutely. Get the best one you can afford and get your name engraved. Having a good stethoscope really makes a difference when you're learning and since there's limited colors/styles it's easy for stethoscopes to get mixed up in lab, hence getting your name engraved. I have the master cardio, others in my class have the cardiology 3/4 (4 is the newer one).
I have to say that I disagree with this. Higher quality scopes should be bought after school imo. Engraving is certainly a worthwhile investment, but going with a classic for learning will get you where you need to go, and out in practice it also depends on the degree of necessity for the various higher quality ones that are worth it to spend money on. What you have mentioned in that they go missing during school is pretty common, and it makes it even more stressful when it is an expensive one.Absolutely.

Eh, it has been discussed numerous times throughout the years. It is always going to be hard for the student to hear what the professor hears, but it shouldn't take an expensive stethoscope to get the basics down and then if someone takes a special interest in cardio, then maybe consider the more expensive ones. I would be especially cautious as it wasn't mentioned what the interests are for this person as obviously you also wouldn't want to spend that kind of money unless going small animal.I guess it's personal preference. For me and a lot of my classmates, being able to hear things better makes a huge difference and keeps me from getting (as) frustrated when a professor hears an abnormality that I may not hear/comprehend as well. I have a classic as well (got in undergrad) and having the master cardio is a huge step up in what I can hear and the clarify.
We've had a couple of people accidentally pick up someone else's stethoscope, but it always got back to the owner because of engraving or a tag. Maybe it's different in a large, busier teaching hospital, but generally stethoscopes don't walk off around here.

Basically, I am saying I would be cautious telling someone to get the most expensive they could afford until the student knows what their needs are.
SAMEEEE my phones screen is too small so I didn't see the "no status change" when I opened it and almost threw up hahaAlmost had a heart attack when I saw the email... I wish I knew anything at all lol
I wonder how many seats are filled at this point for people that have paid their deposit...I thought the updates might give us a little hint. We still know nothing!! Limbo is so painful.

Last year a ton of the wait list calls went out between April 11-13 (that's at least what I've concluded from stalking last years thread haha). I don't think that the total 104 are all students that have been accepted. I know a handful of people in the group that were accepted but are declining their seats for other schools so I think its pretty inaccurate representation of the class size at this time.
For any current students, if I am pulled from the wait list in the next few weeks I will not really have time to come back down to TN to look at housing, so I've been looking into the pet friendly housing on campus for the first year and was wondering if anyone had any more in depth information/personal opinions about the apartments? I know they're more expensive than renting in the area, but I would like to physically look at places before agreeing to anything. I would be bringing my 70lb Pointer with me, super friendly with other dogs and people, but does have a good amount of energy (used to living in my current apartment so I think he'd be ok with the size).
Declined my position in the class of 2021 to go to the University of Missouri. Good luck to everyone in the waitlist!
For everyone who got accepted somewhere else, especially those you got accepted out of the country( Ross) what are you guys doing? Paying the fees and hoping for LMU to accept or what?
Are you going to pay the second deposit as well?That's what I'm doing. Paying the deposit for Ross but hoping to get called off the wait list for LMU
Are you going to pay the second deposit as well?
Nope, I was accepted to Missouri and LMU right away, but just took forever in making the decision between the two schools.Congrats! Were you called off the wait list for LMU and declined?
Class of 2020 has 190 members haha so idt it's accurateUgh the Facebook group is up to 116 members -_-
