Veterinary School Application Advising Ad
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Does anyone know if/when interviews are over? I interviewed Feb 2 but I was wondering if they were still going on!
 
For the people that have been accepted, how were you guys notified? I've been reading the forums from the past few years and it's pretty mixed with how people find out (email, letter, phone call) etc. I'm so anxious!!!
 
Yea, it was the same for me. First received an email, and then a letter with instructions and a banner. Also got a letter saying they are giving me a scholarship. Did anyone else get that?

No, they just sent it to me. I got it before the letter and the banner, and it said that it was going to be applied automatically post-matriculation. Hopefully they will pass it on to somebody else! 🙂
 
Whether or not I get accepted to LMU, I will turn it down in addition to my MSU seat. I was notified today that I was accepted IS to TAMU. Congrats to everyone and I hope that you find out good news soon! LMU was a beautiful campus and will surely be an amazing experience! 🙂

Omg congratulations!! 🙂
 
I was hoping we’d hear back something this week :/ well, here’s to hopefully next week!
 
I know friends that on previous years were waitlisted around the second week of March and accepted on May. Is not over yet guys! Also someone in here asked how many students they interviewed this year and it was around 500, exorbitant amount for the class size if you ask me. Does not seem fair!
 
I wonder if they interview so many just to get more people coming to the area/campus so that people then go home and spread LMU via word of mouth?

I agree with this. It's a new school so of course they want to get the word out there. They tried really hard to show off LMU as the dream vet school on my interview day.

Yes 🙁 I had heard closer to 600! Crazy! But so many people turn down their seats for instate schools so I think they anticipate the waitlist moving a good bit!
 
I’m taking a study break to peruse through SDN and having a bout of PTSD, but also a good laugh, remembering how my mind was running rampant while anxiously waiting for an acceptance. This tedious wait seems to have the same affect on us as the 5 steps of grieving. We shall call it:

The 5 Steps of Vet School Acceptance

1. Denial: That application I just submitted was AWSOME!! No one can top what I’m about to bring to the table!! I am the epitome of a great vet student! Other end of the spectrum: Maybe I’m not good enough… maybe I don’t have what it takes…

2. Anger/Paranoia: Congratulations on your acceptance!! *internally: $*&#@! There goes one more seat that I could have filled* What do they have that I don’t?! Its b/c I said I wanted to do companion animal practice isn’t it… I should have lied and said Food Animal is LIFE!! Conspiracies!! This whole thing is a conspiracy!! I bet they watch this thread… I bet that person is actually administration and is connecting my IP address with my application we speak! That school sucks. They’re in farm country. They obviously only want cow vets! I wouldn’t go there even if I was accepted… If I were a male, I wouldn’t even be in this situation right now… I would have been accepted based on my genitalia in this female inundated profession!

3. Bargaining/statistical analysis: I interviewed in January and they still haven’t accepted some that interviewed in October… 1200 applications…. 600 interviews… 115 accepted… 10 people have already turned down their seat…. I’ve still gotta chance!!... right?!? I’m noticing a trend of early acceptance Friday emails… I’m going to email the schools and see if I’m right about this hunch… If 2 trains leave New York heading south going 52 MPH, there should be slew of acceptance emails sent out Wednesday at 4:45 EST…

4. Depression: Omg! I’m a loser! I’m never going to get in!! What am I going to do with my life?!! I’m going to be 30 and living in my mom’s basement!!!

5. Acceptance: Nah, man… Its cool. I’ll just work on myself and my application and have a go at it next cycle… Maybe I’ll get my Masters

I hope you guys can appreciate the humor/sarcasm/truth in the above, because being in that limbo waiting to hear back SUCKS and makes you go absolutely CRAZY!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

As someone who has been there and is now on the other side, maybe I can calm some angst with the things that I’ve pieced together since being here…

These early acceptances are for the Crème of the Crop or the folks they feel are the absolute ideal student/perspective veterinarian. They interview early in hopes to snatch these guys up before another school can. Being a new school, who had to put up one hell of a fight with the AVMA to be so, they really have to prove themselves and show the AVMA that they made the right choice in allowing LMU-CVM to exist. It only makes sense that LMU wants to fill the seats with the statistical “best of the best.”

But, as we are all beginning to see, the early acceptances are starting to turn down their invitations because they’ve received an acceptance from their in-state school. Of course, they did!! These people have amazing applications!! Plus, they’d be NUTS not to go IS and pay a fraction of the cost in tuition. Others may choose to attend a state University rather than this new private school, located in the desolate mountains of Virginia, with a still pending accreditation status. (You can do it c/o 2018! I believe in you!!)

This is why LMU interviews so many. They have to be prepared with a 2nd string… maybe even a 3rd and 4th string. This is also why you guys, as the anxious waiters, should not give up hope! If you are wait-listed in March, don’t give up hope! In April, after matriculation fees are paid and you have no status change, don’t give up hope! If it’s mid-May and you’re still hanging out on the waitlist, you should probably start seriously putting together your CV for that internship in North Carolina collecting genetic samples from coastal fish. (Boating experience preferred, but not required!) And as soon as you’ve decided that running PCR analysis for a year may not be all that bad, you just may look down at your phone to see you have a new email… and that email may be from LMU… and LMU just might be saying “Congratulations, a seat for the class of 202_ has become available!”:banana:

With that said, this is totally my own detective work. Nothing above can be taken as absolute fact. I’ve still yet to figure out the rhyme or reason to how they determine their next in line. And you definitely can’t assume that because you were accepted near the end that you are somewhat less deserving or less likely to succeed. I have a friend who didn’t get accepted until July, two weeks before classes started! As of right now, she is ranked first in the class.

Vet school acceptance is one of the world greatest mysteries, if you ask me. What’s not a mystery is my love for LMU. Even though I had some blips in my application, they were still willing to give me a shot when no one else would. If you asked the question, “Why did you choose LMU?” and the response you received was “Because it was the only school I got into” don’t think of that as a negative. Some of us didn’t get the opportunity to compare and contrast our vast list of acceptances to weigh the pro’s and con’s in making our final decisions of where we’d obtain our degree. LMU was the only school who saw something in us that no one else did… who looked at us as more than just a GPA and a test score. LMU is my dream vet school because they actually gave me the chance, and now my dreams of becoming a veterinarian are coming true.

So, my LMU-CVM hopefuls, take a deep breath, remain calm, remain sain, and hang in there!!! It ain’t over till the fat lady sings! :horns:

Congrats guys!! When did you interview? I just got an email from them saying they’re ready to review my application but they needed the name of my masters program. Hopefully this means I’ll be receiving an answer soon !!!
 
Also got my acceptance email this AM! I interviewed 10/30
 
I can't figure out how to quote someone but I interviewed 10/30, as well

I am currently in my masters too, do you think we wouldn’t get in based upon that? I’m wondering why they asked.

No I don’t think so I think it would only help since were taking graduate level courses and stuff you know? At least that’s what I’m hoping hahaha

Same. If we don't hear anything today, do y'all think there will be another batch of acceptances later in March or should we just assume we have been placed on a waitlist?
 
We shouldn't be quick to make any assumptions just yet! If anything, LMU has shown us to be consistently inconsistent with a pattern of notification, so we should just take this with a grain of salt and like chelslb said, there will probably be another wave or what not
 
They haven’t accepted anyone from the Feb interviews yet and they’re taking 150 students. I’m pretty sure it’s not over, but just in case start that MS app! I mean, it’s a no-brainer! Move to a cute town, take vet classes, get a MS, be an IS student next year and save $80,000!:banana: Stay positive...make a back-up plan. You can do this! The worst part is another personal statement. Ugh. +pissed+
 
Interviewed at the end of January and haven't heard anything yet....hope slowly dwindling🙁
