I like to think so! I know the school has rolling acceptance so it tells me I’m not an ideal applicant if someone that applied after me got contacted first! But this is not news to me. My gpa and gre are average. The only thing I have going for me are my experiences.
Hold tight! There is so much longer to go lol. I’m OOS, you?
There’s not really a difference between IS and OOS for midwestern since it’s a private school and not state funded, so they don’t prioritize people from Arizona over people from any other state.
I got the same thing as well, hoping maybe we both will get off the waitlist!!
Omg! I just logged in to the portal and I have the accepted student checklist!!!! I’m literally in tears!!!!!
Yeah but still. They have no concept of IS vs OOS since they’re private. Everyone is considered OOS and is in the same pool. That’s what I was referring to.
So far! especially when I've been stalking my email lol. I'm trying to distract myself as well with work and school. I have a couple of small trips planned so hoping that makes time fly by!
WOOHOO! Congrats on the offer!
congrats!! you think youll accept? or are you waiting on other schools?Yup! The Associate Dean called me to let me know I had been accepted. It was really great getting the call!
Thank you so much! Best of luck to youWOOHOO! Congrats on the offer!
Still waiting on other schools but Midwestern is my #1 so I’ll more than likely be accepting
Wow that is awesome!! Congratulations!!!Yup! The Associate Dean called me to let me know I had been accepted. It was really great getting the call!
Maybe we will be classmates next year!
Wow that is awesome!! Congratulations!!!
Ahhh congrats!! Giving me a sliver of hope since mine was also placed on hold. Good luck at your interview!
Congrats and good luck!! Do you mind sharing some of your stats? I'm currently on the interview waitlist
Congrats!!!
Maybe we will be classmates!!!
thats awesome! congrats on the invite and hoping third times the charm!!
Congrats!!!
Also, does your accepted student checklist say all of your transcripts are missing? jw because it says all of mine are missing but I already graduated so they should have them all
Awesome, thank you so much!
Mine tooI just got the same email
it's a bummer but praying that they will continue to call people off the interview waitlist *fingers crossed*Mine too
Yes they all say expected. One school I will be graduating from this spring but the other I haven’t attended since last year. Idk maybe they just want a super recent one in case you have taken any classes since applying? I’ll probably just have mine resent after I graduate. I’ll probably call to see if there is any deadline for sending though.Congrats!!!

Maybe this week will be our week to hear some good news! Keep thinking positive, girl
Also thanks! And congrats to you too! I am 99.99% sure I will be attending. I LOVED this school when we toured and it was always my first choice so hopefully I’ll see you next AugustCongrats!!!

Meh idk my GPA is weak but I pulled it up from a 2.7 so there’s that. Nothing too special lol im sure I’m missing some things but I feel this was the core of my application.
Was waitlisted about 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard back... trying to shift my anticipation to realizing how incredibly fortunate I am to have the opportunity to even apply and trying to enjoy this crazy little ride
yes pretty non-traditional I guess lol I took two years off after I got my AA and just decided to go back last year to finish pre-reqs. I also brought my GPA up from a 2.77 from Spring 2017 until now
thanks for giving me hope and staying positive!
also... I didnt know that Midwestern pulls a lot of people off the interview waitlist... there IS hope!!
I am interviewing tomorrow! So nervous.
When you interviewed last year, did they give you a list of possible interview questions? My coworker applied last year and mentioned something about that, but I'm not sure if she just got it off the internet. Also this is my first time using this forum so sorry if I'm doing it wrong.
That’s awesome! Bringing up GPA after so many classes is such a daunting task.
I see! Well I’m sure the colleges will like your dedication. Especially since working as a tech isn’t the best way to make money lol. I used to work in a restaurant where I made like $20-25/hr. When I first came to the vet field I made $10/hr. I just had to tell myself what I lacked in pay I gained in experience! It was tough because I also had to pay my way through school. I was lucky I had some scholarships and financial aid though.Nahhh not really... I just had to work 2 jobs (both at clinics) to pay for tuition in undergrad, that’s why my hours are insane lol I just took longer than most to graduate cuz I had to go part time/skip quarters to save up... so I dont necessarily feel like I’m non traditional to be honest...
Haha hopefully! I’m just trying not to go nuts about it at this point
Good luck!! I haven’t interviewed at Midwestern but from what I hear, the interview is relaxed.
I didn’t get an email like that. I also just looked and noticed the same thing. But like you, I wasn’t paying attention to the top portion lol.
@HuskiesFurever that response was meant for your WSU post
No, there was no list of possible interview questions. I did look back through old forum posts to get an idea of what questions they asked. There were questions about when I have faced adversity/hardships and questions about who I am and my goals and experiences. They are really laid back and just want to get to know you. It only lasted 10 minutes for me and I came out feeling a lot more relaxed than I went in.
I just applied again this year, got the wait-list email last night. I'm hoping this year will be the year. Do you personally know anyone who was taken off the waitlist and offered an interview? *Hopeful*
Awe, I’m sorry to heard you’ve been waitlisted officially. I still haven’t heard back either way so I think I may be in worse position than you lol.I was wait-listed last year in Nov. never got in
Thanks! Here's to hoping! Good luck by the way!! This process is so stressful. I hate waiting. I sent in my apps in July! Waiting is the worst!
I submitted in June and just like last year I am waitlisted for an interview. Still hopeful though!
I was wait-listed last year in Nov. never got in
Good luck! Where else did you apply?
