Is anyone else having trouble submitting their address on the matriculation box email survey?

Couldn’t get mine to work last night, but I haven’t tried it again today

It worked okay for me, I opened the link to do it on the safari app of my phone instead of a computer

I had trouble with it as well. But I put "x" in the apartment slot and then it finally worked even though the question said optional.
 
Anybody know of anyone who lives or has lived in a camper for vet school??
 
Is the class at full capacity?

There’s around 100 people in the Facebook group so I’m gonna say it’s getting close but I think they’ll send out an email once all the seats are filled
 
So i just called and they said that they are at capacity, but could pull from the waitlist.. so idk
 
Who’d you talk to? They told me they’re still extending offers

Idk she didnt say her name she sounded confused. She was like ā€œwe are at capacity, but theres a waitlistā€ it was not a very informative call lol
 
LMU works as a rolling admissions. So I believe all of the offers are out, meaning the class is full. If someone declines then they would send out additional offers and pull from the waitlist. You can't go off of the facebook group because it includes current students and faculty.

Makes sense! I was just using the Fb group as a very rough estimate since they don’t really tell us much
 
It's probably way too early to be asking this, and I'm not sure if theres current students on this form who may be able to help, but is there any way to know about what our fall class/ exam schedule will look like? Reason for asking is my one of my best friends got engaged, wants me to be her bridesmaid in a wedding the last weekend of October and I want to know if I should ask her to find a new bridesmaid or If I might be able to fly/drive to Western New York for it?

You won’t really know your schedule until the week before classes when they explain how to download your schedule on Outlook. If you all are similar to my schedule as I’m apart of the silver cohort, then I don’t believe we have exams that weekend, but don’t hold your breath as things can change. I believe you do get personal days you can use towards those events, but you have to get approval. Personally, I would inform my friend that I will try to make it pending my school schedule and will let you know early August. Administration will discuss personal days and other things at orientation.

I’m in the EXACT same position

Currently first years are allowed up to 4 personal days to use as you wish. You just have to submit them at least 5 days in advance. They could change that between now and August but it shouldn't be an issue if you ask in advance.
 
Hey everyone I was wondering what other people got in their welcome box. Mine looked opened when j received it and just want to make sure I’m not missing anything

Mine had a folder with the list of supplies we’ll need, a paper about the summer anatomy course, a flyer for becoming a military veterinarian, a squishy Abraham Lincoln stress toy, an LMU folder, pen + pad, a little fabric banner that has the school on it, and a whole bunch of blue paper confetti lol
 
Do y’all think that they won’t send out any more rejections until after the first week of classes? I still haven’t heard anything like some of y’all and I’m starting to wonder if i shouldn’t go ahead and start my VMCAS application again.

Go ahead and start the application. At this point you need to assume you’ve been rejected
 
I submitted my application for January yesterday because I haven’t heard back.
It doesn’t seem like LMU has updated their website regarding the January class. I’m assuming there’s no earlier deadline than September for applying to the spring cohort?

I thought I read somewhere that May 31st is the recommended deadline, actual deadline is June 30th.

It has been updated to reflect the Spring Cohort timeline.
 
I emailed previously to take my name off the waitlist, however yesterday I woke up to an email that I was offered a seat for Fall. Will be declining as I was accepted to a different school. Best of luck to those still waiting to hear! 😊
 
I just received an email stating I need to enroll in organic chem II with lab as that is a pre-requisite. I didn't see that on the LMU website or AAVMC website that it is required for LMU. Has anyone else encountered this issue?? I don't want to take a course and then not get in if other schools don't require it.
