I was offered two interview dates but they are both only in person options. Was wondering how people got zoom options , i live in Michigan and was hoping for a virtual option

Same here! I'm going to ask them because I live all the way in Florida.

 

[deleted1204513]

I interviewed in October and had the choice of virtual or in person, not sure why they're not doing virtual anymore

Honestly, because we're so late into the interview aspect of the cycle, those appointments probably got taken. 🙁

 

[jreissatia]

I mean if i need to go in person I’ll choose the later appt date and just go in person

Congrats to everyone who has gotten an interview / has interviewed. My portal hasn’t changed since September, still says awaiting decision.

do you guys think rolling admissions has an impact on how many interview invites they have “left” to give out? i submitted near the deadline so does that decrease my chances of getting an interview invite?

 

[Optimisticwaitlist]

Same

Hopefully no news is good news and it’ll change to show an invite for interview for us!

 

[jreissatia]

Does anyone know the statistics of how many people are asked to interview and those that interview whom get accepted??

 

[practicalpeach]

Same thing happened to me. I just emailed to ask

congrats!! what are your stats if you don’t mind me asking?

 

[breezywonton]

Does anyone know the statistics of how many people are asked to interview and those that interview whom get accepted??

idk the stats but when I had my interview, they said the majority of people that interview get accepted or waitlisted unless there's a major red flag during the interview. They also said that last year, everyone got off the waitlist.

 

[deleted1204513]

congrats!! what are your stats if you don’t mind me asking?

I have a 3.7 overall, but I have a 3.9 last 45. I failed my first two semesters of college, but had an explanation statement for that.

I submitted on Sep 16th and just got an invite, so I don't think so

Is that the interview waitlist or the final admissions waitlist?

The waitlist for after the interview right?

 

[breezywonton]

final admissions waitlist. like if you get waitlisted after the interview, you have a high chance of getting off of it.

 

[breezywonton]

The waitlist for after the interview right?

yes

 

[deleted1204513]

Just got the virtual app.!

 

[deleted1204513]

I emailed and asked for it so if anyone needs virtual I would do the same 🙂

 

[jreissatia]

Me too but it’s so far away what if they don’t have enough acceptances. My virtual option is all the way in February

 

[deleted1204513]

I know! I can't afford to travel though, so tough luck to me I guess

 

[jreissatia]

Now i kinda wanna email back and ask for the in person options back because at least those were in January

 

[breezywonton]

Me too but it’s so far away what if they don’t have enough acceptances. My virtual option is all the way in February

I wouldn't worry too much about this. They told me that they waitlist even great applicants during the early interviews because they save acceptances for people who interview later on.

 

[jreissatia]

I hope this is true

 

[jreissatia]

Anyone know if they accept more in person interviews over virtual as well as how many oos students are accepted. I know people are saying voice you get invited for an interview there’s a good chance of acceptance but I’m a second time applicant and oos and nervous. Especially since my virtual interview isn’t until Feb 6

Since Midwestern is a private college, there is no preference over OOS vs IS! I would check out applytovetschool.org for recent stats regarding how many people are invited to interview and how many are accepted after! Congrats on your interview & good luck!!

I haven’t heard of any schools using virtual vs. in-person interviews as a factor for admissions decisions. If they’re offering both, that means they’re okay with both.
I feel you as a second-time applicant, the fear is real! Having the interview invite is just one step toward the goal, but it’s still something to be proud of. Take the time before your interview to prepare, and that way the later interview might turn out to be an advantage!

It's looking like decisions will be released mid-December for those who interviewed late Oct / early Nov! 🙁

 

[breezywonton]

Really? I interviewed 10/30 and they said to contact them if it’s been longer than a month and they haven’t said anything. Ughhhhhhhhh

 

[VHug4772]

Have you reached out to them about when decisions are expected to be released?

 

[breezywonton]

Have you reached out to them about when decisions are expected to be released?

No, but if I don’t hear anything by december 1st (because i think you said Midwestern is closed 11/23-12/1?) I was gonna check in with them.

Was kind of expecting this, but was really really hoping for a last minute decision release. All we can do is to wait it out and hope for the best it seems!

 

[cowgirl416]

For anyone who interviewed in person, are you there for the full 8 hours? My booking says 7am to 3pm.

Yes you are, your personal interview is not very long but tours/lunch/etc have you there for 8 hours.

 

[nathant53]

Has anyone looked into submitting a letter of intent? I saw it was an option on the portal but was curious if it would even help get off the interview waitlist

 

[practicalpeach]

is anyone else still awaiting decision? 🙁

 

[cierra.layton]

I am🙁(

what does this mean for us?? is it just that they haven’t gotten that far yet?

 

[breezywonton]

I wouldn't worry too much yet, they still contact applicants for interviews up through January

 

[practicalpeach]

thank you for that! i submitted my app one day before the deadline so maybe that’s why?

 

[breezywonton]

Yeah, since they're rolling admissions that would make sense! I already interviewed and I submitted my app on 8/11.

 

[cierra.layton]

I feel like maybe they just haven’t reviewed ours yet or maybe we are still being considered

 

[VHug4772]

Also! No acceptances have gone out post-interview so don't feel like you don't have a good chance if you interview later. They mentioned during the interview process that they are selective with acceptances earlier on in the cycle to give other applicants an opportunity to interview and be evaluated fairly & equally!

 

[shadysadie]

Me too but it’s so far away what if they don’t have enough acceptances. My virtual option is all the way in February

When I interviewed they said something like they can’t accept everyone in our interview group in order to save spots so that makes me think they only take around a certain number from each interview group

 

[VHug4772]

Any guess on when those who interviewed 11/19 will find out?

I've heard some say it will be late December to early January. For reference, I interviewed 11//7 and have not heard back yet. There will likely be delays due to the holidays

 

[ErPikBeary]

For those who have gotten an acceptance, how long do you have to accept or deny your spot? I have heard for their Optometry program you have 30 days to confirm your spot, but I am unsure if this is the same for the CVM.

You have until April 15th for all of the US schools.

 

[ErPikBeary]

does anyone know if doing an in person vs. virtual interview is better according to the committee? Like will going in person better my chances of an acceptance?

I was told by one of the admissions counselors that it is better to go in person if you can because it shows interest. But obviously this isn’t possible for everyone and hopefully if you are a good candidate they will see that both virtually or in person!

Well dang. I kinda wanna email back and tell them i want in person options since i already chose virtual. I’m hoping i still have a chance

 

[artemia]

Hoping for good news to come soon for those who have interviewed and for everyone still waiting to hear back! It's a stressful wait, but I'm trying remember to enjoy this process as well as all the excitement that comes with it. Hope everyone has a restful Thanksgiving week!

An acceptance would be a great start to Thanksgiving. Best of luck to all.

Lol I hope that virtual interviews still receive equal consideration because I already did mine virtually. I was in the middle of finishing up midterms when my interview was scheduled so there was no way I could travel during that time.

Also, a thanksgiving week acceptance would be absolutely amazing. Do they still send out acceptances this week? I assumed because of the holidays, they wouldn't.
