Hey guys, I got a phone call from Mississippi state and missed it (I’m at work right now) but they gave me a callback number in voice mail. I called back and they told me just to check my portal status after 1pm and apparently they’re calling to tell everybody that according to the woman there I spoke with???? Anybody else hear this too? Worried I might’ve not gotten the correct information as I think a phone call just to tell people to check a portal is a bit unnecessary (I could in fact also just be too hopeful LOL)

Is anybody else having issues with their portal? My offer I received TODAY said I needed to respond by April 15th at midnight. I’ve called admissions and they took my info and said they’d look into it. I also emailed and showed screenshots. Getting a little concerned because now my portal went from showing all the welcome stuff to saying nothing (just the reminders section stuff like where it tells you the LoR submissions and all that. I also have the DVM updated transcripts and required acceptance deposit slots put in there, but nothing else is present)

so you were 10 and 30 on oos, but accepted for SC contract?

Yes! So when you apply for contract seats you get two waitlist spots if you are waitlisted. One is on a list of people JUST for that state’s contract seats, and the other is the normal OOS pool. I was only told on my letter that I was accepted for a SC contract seat!

ahh okay so theoretically that means I would move up a spot because your oos application is no longer considered

when did they call and how long do they give you to decide?

They called me around 2PM CST. To be honest, I can't remember the deadline she gave me because I was extremely shocked and happy, but she made it sound urgent to accept my seat if I was going to.

Hi everyone, this is my first formal post on SDN. I've been watching from afar, but I felt like it's finally time to post. I am a second time applicant who was placed on the MS State waitlist. I recieved all (7) rejections last cycle and (6) this time, except for my waitlist spot at MS State. I'm in the 50's, and I was curious how everyone else is responding to the news or lack thereof.

I am moving states for a farming job on Monday, but am still patiently waiting to hear anything regarding the movement of the waitlist. This has been a dream of mine forever, and I was planning on taking a break from applying after this cycle, but with the recent news of #49 getting accepted, I'm having a hard time moving and accepting what is reality and what isn't. Does anyone have any other news regarding movement or what to do if I'm not accepted this cycle?

Thank you in advance 🙂)

I’m anticipating more updates about the waitlist early next week, either more being pulled off or them announcing the class is full. I’m also in the 50s so I’m right there with you being anxious! Is the job you’re moving for a done deal? Or could you postpone for another week or so? There really is no right or wrong answer for what you decide to do, but having a secured job is always helpful if you decide to not accept an offer if you get one. Plus, with this added experience if you decide to reapply, you’ll be able to include this job on your application and that might help secure you a more solid spot for the next round!

I mean if I do get admitted, I’m sure they will understand. I just would hate to postpone any longer as they’ve already been waiting a month haha.

It’s nice to hear of someone else in my position, I hope that you get some peace of mind soon as well.
 
Okay thanks! I was hoping it would keep moving in the meantime, but it has seemed like they're calling with seats more on Tueadays and Thurs/Fri. I'm just now starting to believe it might get far enough for me, but also know it might be slowing down as they get further down the list.
 
I'm 122 so Im counting myself out but good luck to everyone ahead of me - if they got to me i would accept it on the spot but i fear thats unlikely😭

Do we know exactly how full the class is yet or if we are getting a waitlist update soon? Im 122 but if for some reason a bunch of people before me took themselves off the waitlist you never know :')

I think they'll probably wait to give us that information until the class is full 😕. A good chunk of people in the 60s posted that they were declining, but I haven't heard anything from anybody in the 70s or much from anyone past 80.

It isnt over till its over I suppose - but I checked my email and they said they would update us after April 15th and I never received another update hence why I was hoping they would have a beginning of may update maybe renumbering us after people have taken themselves off the waitlist & all. maybe it will come maybe it wont, only about 1.5 months till class starts anyway so its tough to predict how much more movement there will be
 
I was seriously dreading an email tomorrow that said they had filled the class. I think they're kind of scrambling to do so, if they sent out at least 4 acceptances today (me being #58, and #62 declining.) I don't know how much longer it's going to go, but that's probably why they haven't updated yet

Yeah, I was wondering about the update as well. But since it's been so long, I assumed they're planning on sending it only after the class is full.

Hopefully they'll scramble a little longer!

Congrats! Do you mind sharing when you were supposed to tell them your decision by? Just saw on fb that they called #62 who is declining and I'm 80!

What FB post was that? Just trying to make sure I keep up with the updates.
