I just declined my seat today I hope they offer it to one of yall!
Where did you decide to go? Thanks for opening up a seat!!I just declined my seat today I hope they offer it to one of yall!
Does anyone know the situation for on-campus housing?
I put in an application a couple weeks ago (for every studio and 2/2 apartment) and was immediately put on the waitlist.
I'm looking for different options of course, but I really don't want to forfeit my $300 because they offer something late July or early August when I've already arranged other plans...but also the on-campus options are literally right there and significantly cheaper than the off-campus options across the street...
LMU! My other half and I both applied to 8 vet schools together, and our chances of getting a yes from the same school were, of course, slim considering the small class sizes, but LMU ended up offering both of us a seat after the deadline .Where did you decide to go? Thanks for opening up a seat!!
Though I will say we were really hoping for Midwestern, however, it'll be awesome up there as well. We already found the perfect house to rent that allows all our animals and the owners are really nice. It's really rough trying to find a place that will take pets.LMU!

Does it make anyone else sad that VMCAS is open again and we are still sitting on the wait list? Lol because it makes me sad!

Very! I reopened my application yesterdayI was just thinking this today, so depressing.
Mine is almost finished for the second time haha I'm just waiting on my LOR's and trying to fine tune my statements.Very! I reopened my application yesterday
Hello Emily, I am starting at MWU this August as a potential DVM and have been assigned an on-campus one-bedroom apartment. Can you please tell me anything about Bldg. C. I know it is 'pet friendly', but is it old, new, falling apart, good condition, etc. Any info would be appreciated. I know they are re-modeling some of the buildings. Thanks.Hi all! Congrats on your acceptance to MWU! My name is Emily and I'm the president of the class of 2020. I noticed a few of you have requested to join the class of 2020 Facebook page! I'm sure many of you have questions about the school and what happens next so later today I will make a Facebook page for the class of 2021 and will post the the link here. There's also a Facebook page for the college of veterinary medicine and a general Midwestern university Page. I will provide all of those links for you later today! Congratulations again! This is a great school and we look forward to meeting you all during orientation!
For you, what is the absolute last day you are willing to wait until? Maybe pick a day you are comfortable with and go from there?Guys I'm kind of loosing hope. I mean it seems like there is very little to no movement on the waitlist, and I've put money down at LMU and I need to start planning at this point. What should I do?

I know things are moving slower than you would like them to. They may be moving slower or people are giving their responses slower this year? There hasn't really been much movement on the Fb group since the last time we talked either so if they are getting accepted they sure aren't joining the group lol
I totally understand...don't let your paranoia and worry set in just yet though! I kept saying the same things you are and then they randomly called me when I least expected it!I was going to wait until May 31st, but I'm getting antsy. Plus I need to let work know when I need to take off to look for housing and I don't want to ask last minute. So I kinda feel stuck?
I have heard NOTHING. Haha I have 2/4 LOR's in already so I've pretty much moved on at this point.We are already in June, time is going too fast! Has anyone heard back yet??

I have not! I've been working so much lately that by the time I have a minute to even think about calling they're typically closed hahaThere are still only 109 members on Fb and 40 of them are 2019/2020 students. Have you talked to them lately to see if the class is full?
Definitely understandable! If nothing else, maybe send an email to check in. They usually respond back the same dayI have not! I've been working so much lately that by the time I have a minute to even think about calling they're typically closed haha
I'm the same way, I have to sneak in calls during my lunch or else everything is closed by the time I'm off work. I'm going to retake my GRE in hopes of a better score.I have not!

Thank you for the update. I called admissions earlier and they told me 114 students have put a deposit and there are 93 on the alternate list.Update: class is not full I just got an acceptance call. I will probably be declining too much $$
How long did they give you to accept?Update: class is not full I just got an acceptance call. I will probably be declining too much $$
I think they over estimate? When they called me they had 109 with deposits and 106 on the alternate list. I wonder if they are accepting a larger class this year?Thank you for the update. I called admissions earlier and they told me 114 students have put a deposit and there are 93 on the alternate list.
How long did they give you to accept?
They gave me a week to pay my deposit once I return their call. I don't think your portal tells you how long you have until you call back and tell them you want to accept. Have you decided for sure or still weighing your options?They didn't give me a timeframe, they left a message asking me to call back as soon as possible.

Are you still looking for roommates?does anyone know if there is a Facebook group for the upcoming class? trying to look for some roommates
Have you tried posting on the Fb page?Is anyone still looking for a roommate? I was looking at some houses that are three bedroom but have nobody to fill them.
I've heard absolutely nothing. I'm working nearly 50 hours a week so I don't have time during the week to even call! Haha I'm getting a lot of experience for this cycle I supposeHas anyone heard back??
Seems like there has been little to no movement on the alternate list
Good luck to you at LMU!!I eventually just gave up because I was accepted to LMU and didn't want to wait to long to get everything settled for them. One less person on the alternate list with you guys! So good luck everyone still waiting, and if nothing happens this summer, good luck for the next one!
Good luck to you at CSU! @LexieLove & @Kitara that means there is still hope!!I just got an email that I was accepted but I will be declining my seat, just so everyone knows this list is still moving! I long ago accepted my seat at CSU. Good luck to everyone!
A LOT. There are opportunities for you to complete cat neuters your first year, and you can volunteer with the mobile clinic any time! We haven't even started school yet and I've already given a ton of vaccines, microchips, and physical exams on cats and dogs with the mobile clinic (after the doctor taught me of course)! We also start surgery our second year and can go on public outreach trips to do surgeries for local Native American communities (the second years last year went on one and one of my friends got to do 15 surgeries in 5 days, as a second year). We also have a class each quarter called "practice of veterinary medicine" - PVM for short. We will be putting our hands on animals during this class, learning practical skills, physical exams, etc. as soon as our first week. Not only that, but I just partook in a pathology lecture thing where we got to put our hands on the organs of certain medical cases, and talk through how the pathologist diagnoses what happened. There is a TON of hands on experience at Midwestern.
Accredidation: as far as the AVMA is concerned, we are as fully accredited as possible as of now. You can't be completely accredited until the first class graduates, and that won't be for 2 more years. We've gotten reasonably assured by the AVMA that accreditation will be granted, as long as things stay awesome. It doesn't really matter on a personal level though, we will still be veterinarians upon graduation just like everyone else... The students aren't affected by this, but the university is.
I LOVE my school so much already, and if you have any more questions please feel free to PM me!
I cannot find any external (to VMCAS) supplemental form to fill out or place to pay an application fee. Can anyone confirm that this is true and to apply I need only to submit stuff (including $) thru VMCAS?
There should not be a supplemental application for MWU.
Is there a supplemental fee I have to pay, if so where?
