Did you get an email for the interview, or do you have to check the portal regularly?
 
Hoping to turn in my application today or tomorrow! Good luck everyone :)

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!
 
Made my portal yesterday, fingers crossed for an interview invite!!

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?
 
Verified on 9/9. Just logged into my portal and was offered an interview! (No email received, just saw it by logging into my account!)
I can't believe it!

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?
 
Submitted my application on 9/18 (was already verified when I submitted) and received an interview invite by email at like 3:00am Eastern time !

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.

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 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.

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!!

I received acceptance to Glasgow over the weekend and also received my acceptance to Midwestern in the mail today. I will be attending Glasgow, is my #1 school, and will be declining my offer to Midwestern. Good luck to all of you and I hope someone on the waitlist ultimately gets my spot!
