Hey guys! I'm a current 4th year and happy to answer any questions I can to help out!
 
Did you get an email for the interview, or do you have to check the portal regularly?

Hi sorry for late response! I handed in my application around September 20th and got an interview a few days later. Admissions is rolling basis so I feel like you should hear something back soon

Did you mean August 20th? I submitted my application August 26th and now I'm worried after you said that. I just wasn’t sure when they accessed VMCAS applications since they had their own!

Hey! My stats are really average tbh.
Overall: 3.51
Science: 3.50
Last 45: 3.88
Veterinary experience: 1200
The Major classes (Orgo, Physics, Chem 1 and 2, Genetics, and Molecular Biology): 3.90

The interview was really relaxed but i was SUPER nervous so just be relaxed honestly
 
I'm so sorry ): When did y'all submit your application??
 
Hey everyone! Does anyone have an in-person interview in October? It always feels better going into the interview knowing someone.
 
Anyone that is on the pre interview waitlist get offered an interview?
 
I have the option for an in-person interview on Oct. 7 or a virtual one on Nov. 18. I'd like to do the virtual one as flight prices are astronomical when purchasing a week in advance...but on the same token, I'm nervous I'd have less of a chance of getting in if I pick a month later due to rolling admissions.....anyone have any feedback??

I would honestly pick virtual. I found being able to do the interview in my home was more relaxing. No traveling and overthinking during a flight and on a drive there. Just wake up get ready and look your best and put your best foot out there.
 
I submitted my application in August, and got an email August 27 that all of my application materials had been received but I have heard nothing since... Is anyone in the same boat? Since people are being offered/waitlisted for interviews that submitted after me I'm assuming this is not a good sign for me but think it's weird I just wouldn't have been denied?

I'm in the same boat. Hoping no news is good news for now!

I submitted on 9/17 verified on 9/21 but last letter of rec was submitted on 9/29
 
Hi Everyone! I have my interview w/ midwestern the first week of November, any tips or advise on the interview?

Do you remember when your portal updated vs when you got a call/email? My portal just updated sometime this afternoon or early evening, and it gave me a new list found under the "Post-Accepted: Accepted" checklist with matriculation info and I am assuming this is my confirmation, I'm just kind of still freaking out haha.

CONGRATS ON GETTING IN WOOOOOOOO
 
Has anyone who interviewed on Sept 22 heard back? They said I could hear back as early as one week but probably around 3-4 weeks and it's been over a month so I'm getting worried...
 
Hello everyone!
I got an interview invite a couple of weeks ago and will be interviewed on January 20th. I am a first-time OOS applicant, and I submitted my application on September 14th. Good luck to everyone here!

I interviewed in person October 6, its been 3 weeks, I'm still waiting to hear back, they told me I'd hear back in 2 weeks 🙁 Hopefully, no news is good news for now
 
I interviewed October 6th as well in person and received my acceptance this weekend via email. Midwestern is one of my top schools. I interviewed with two others the last few weeks. One of those schools is my top choice and I really want to get in there! I still have 5 more schools to hear from. Two others have noted that we will be apprised of our status mid-December, i.e. Interview, Waitlisted, or Declined. Good luck to all.
 
any advice for the interview? I have mine this month!

First be yourself. My interview was very situational based and 'cold'. Notes were being taken and little to no interaction. It was NOT what I was expecting. Matter of fact, I was incredibly nervous. So much so, I was visibly shaking and my voice cracked a few times. One of the interviewers then asked, IMO, a calming question so I could get settled. That definitely helped. My biggest concern was just articulating my thoughts and not allowing my mouth to run faster than my mind. I definitely went to this site and practiced, practiced, practiced. I went through the previous Midwestern C/O's and searched for interview. I probably spent hours on this interview with my father acting as an interviewer. It was my very first interview so maybe that is why I was so nervous. I also reviewed my application and knew it very well. They asked questions about experiences, the usual 'Why a Vet' / 'Why Midwestern' / 'Strengths'. I would suggest studying a lot about Zoonotic diseases in the US, what Ag Vets / FSVM does, a time you were resilient, what you think a Vet career includes (especially if you have vet tech / assistant experience), etc. I went in person and it was very much worth it. The school's facilities are outstanding, it has One Health which I specifically want in my program and has clinical right from the get go. Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!!
 
Has anyone received an interview invite lately?? Also congrats to those getting accepted today 🎉
