I am applying!

I realize that we are not required to submit GRE scores for MWU, but my portal says I need to submit them in order to complete my application. Does anyone else have the same issue?

I would call the admissions department and ask them, they required GRE scores last cycle, so I'm not sure if anyone can necessarily answer this question with anything other than: ask admissions.:shrug:

Also... congrats guys!! Please feel free to reach out to ANYONE on campus. Honestly, everyone is so friendly and helpful! We don't know much as first yrs, but if you see any vet students in the cafeteria (during your interview days), please feel free to ask questions or say hi! Worst case scenario, you grab a first year and we don't know much... but can point you in the right direction!

GOOD LUCK!!!!:soexcited::banana:

Don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions/concerns!!!

My application was put on hold for possible future interview invitation. What exactly does that mean?

I just got the same email :( someone tell us what this means!!!
 
Probably means you’re a good candidate for them but they probably need to see who else applied since it’s before the deadline still.

Hey guys! Throughout the cycle they'll put people in a waitlist to be interviewed since you're still a really good applicant. But, they aren't sure what their applicant pool is entirely going to look like, especially since they do rolling admissions. I'm not sure ultimately how they decide to waitlist vs interview, but....

IT'S NOT A NO. IT'S NOT THE END OF THE LINE.

A friend got interview waitlisted but after her interview she was offered a seat (unsure when this was, maybe 2 weeks after the interview). I was offered an interview and then place as an alternate (waitlisted for a seat), and was called sometime in June and offered a seat.

They are not requiring GRE scores this cycle.
 
Hey everyone! This is my second time applying to Midwestern (applied last year and made it through the interview stage but got placed on the Alternate List). My VMCAS app was verified yesterday and Midwestern received my application today. Super nervous and excited to hear if I'll be receiving an interview or not!

No they don’t! They’ll send you an email with info to access your student portal though where they will update info for interviews, etc.

The entire process was very relaxed. We had a student panel to start off with where you could ask current students (mine was a mix of second and third year students) specific questions and they talked about their experiences at the school. We then had a tour of the school, lunch, an introduction from the financial aid office, and then a presentation at the end from the Associate Dean to talk about the program as a whole, their application process, costs, etc.

I interviewed with two faculty members and it was about 15/20 mins long or so. There wasn't really a time frame given (ie: you have 5 mins to answer this question) and was very conversational. I believe in total they asked me 3-4 questions but often would expand upon things I said. The interviewers have access to your experiences but nothing about grades/GPA, etc. We were given bios of the faculty in the morning so we had some background on them before we interviewed.

Overall, it was very welcoming and relaxed. Naturally you'll be nervous before the interview but in no way did they try to trip you up or ask "difficult" questions. It was really more to get to know you and answer any questions you might have about the school. I'd wear comfortable shoes (or bring them with you) because there is a lot of walking on the tour :)

This sounds nice! I like that they give you the interviewers info. I know it’s proper to do thank you letters after the interview, I always feared forgetting the interviewer’s names so this definitely helps!!
I’m glad it was not super intimidating for you!

I submitted 9/6 and haven’t heard anything yet aside from an email saying my application is being reviewed. I’m not super competitive so I don’t expect to hear back for awhile.
 
Woke up to an email this morning saying my app is on hold for more review and possible interview later on. They said to take it as a good thing so I will. It’s not a rejection!

No news is good news right? I don’t think they have any rhyme or reason to the order that they go through apps. I mean date of submission doesn’t seem to have any weight from what we’ve seen.

I feel your pain. I was verified 9/13 and Midwestern received all my app requirements by 9/14 and I haven't heard anything yet. The stress is killing me, especially since Midwestern is my top choice! Are you IS or OOS?

Wow that’s great! Did they actually call to tell you that you were accepted? What day did you interview? Sorry for all the questions. I interview on September 19 and I’m just trying to get an idea of where I’m at
