I interviewed in January and they only gave me about a week notice so flights were also $1000 dollars (not including a rental car). Fortunately I live like 10.5 hours away by car so I drove.
Yes I think I got like 8-10 days notice. Luckily I’m only a few hours away so I could drive. But I can imagine that’s stressful. We already spend so much money applying to schools then have to fund travel expenses, hotels, and rental cars.. and then to be rejected! I know it’s tough y’all were in the same boat, but one day we’ll get that acceptance letter and it’ll all be worth it.
I didn’t get very much notice either. I think it was like a week. I wasn’t too far that I couldn’t drive though so I got lucky.
No, I had about a month notice for mine. I still decided to drive because flying into the smaller airports was still expensive, but I think for several cases they notified with a decent amount of time.
Same here, exactly a month.
I received my invite around 3 weeks before my interview. I drove down, it was 9 hours but a lot cheaper than flying.
Where else did you get into?
Yes! I’ve more or less given up on hearing back from LMU anytime soon. I think they’re still doing more interviews. I was waitlisted at my IS school and I’m waiting to hear from another so everything about this process is making me realize how impatient I am.
Aww best of luck! I hope you get in or get called off the waitlist. My instate is FL so still holding onto some hope that they call me off.
I feel you! I hope they say something by mid-March. LMU is my only hope now, so I've been praying for good news! And good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back 🙂
Did you interview and were waitlisted?
My friend got waitlisted last year and pulled off the list. I think there is a good chance of that bc so many people choose their IS school
I just died a little bit inside.. that would make it 8 months since I interviewed for an answer.. that’s insane
Do you think Hope is over for us since they’ve sent out multiple rounds of invites and we haven’t gotten one after this long?
In April????
Yes, I talked to admissions this morning. I was informed that if we haven't been granted an interview we could expect a rejection email next week (and also hopefully an answer for those of you that interviewed). Best of luck!!!
That makes sense thank you
They mentioned it to me while I was there for their last interview day this past Monday (2/24).
That’s a lot of confetti!
I was sooo happy when I got mine. Though it wasn’t really a “package” in the way that I expected lololol. But I was ecstatic none the less.
It’s more like the poster tube it comes in that carries most of the weight lol
I accepted my seat a few days ago!
Oh no! You’re declining? Did you get in somewhere else that you preferred?
Yep it was email first! Then the “snail mail” and it was very snaily lol
I had a few acceptances and feel Virginia-Maryland CVM is the best fit for me both personally and academically! I did really like a lot of things about LMU and likely would have chosen it over a couple other places that I interviewed. My personal opinion is that it’s a great school ... I worked for a vet in their first graduating class and she was far more knowledgeable than a couple other new grads in the practice. N = 1 experience for sure but I hadn’t seriously considered any newer school until her. Y’all are going to be awesome!! 😀
