Mississippi State c/o 2024

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I wanted some opinions on a potential interview question that I may be asked. I know that many schools ask about student loans etc. to see if you have understanding of the financial burden and how to handle money. If I will not be taking out student loans for veterinary school and will be graduating debt free (a family member generously offered to pay), will this be looked down upon? I wanted some insight on how to go about approaching this question without seeming like I don't understand money or work ethic.
Personally, I think you could address how you planned to pay for it before this family member offered. You realize you are extremely blessed to have received that gift, and maybe talk about how this process is made so much more important to you by that generosity. Just my two cents!

Also, they didn’t ask me anything about the financials, but every interview is different!

I actually was asked this same question at my interview yesterday at Mississippi State. I will be taking out loans, so that’s how I answered, but I don’t feel like they will look down on you for that. I think as long as you answer honestly you should be fine. They just want to know that you’ve THOUGHT about it, and have some kind of a rough plan.

I can’t speak for all the interviews, but it was my first interview and I was very nervous going into it. The interviewers were really nice and I don’t feel like they asked anything to trip me up. I know people have mentioned ethical interview questions, but I didn’t really get anything like that. I was much LESS nervous coming out of the interview. Just get comfortable talking about yourself, what you do, and your interests inside and outside of vet med and I think you will do fine.
Good luck!!

I interviewed on Monday and they said that it will be about 2 weeks until we hear back from them.

They told us on our interview on 2/3 that we would know within two weeks. Which would be late this week and beginning of next. I’m a student here and the conversation has been that we will know probably late this week. They have their meeting to finalize the class today.

Well that's even better haha
 
Does anyone know what time they generally call with acceptances? Or is it different for everyone?

I'm pretty sure last year they started calling around lunchtime on the 12th and went through the 13th, getting super anxious waiting now!

I saw on the APVMA group that some OOS people were called today too. I texted my mentor to see if they were calling over multiple days like last year and he wasn't sure. I hope they're still calling tomorrow, but kinda starting to doubt it.
 
I think oos will continue today! I got a call yesterday at 6:10 last name B

On last years thread they said that the dean was the one making the calls and doing it in waves since he had to call everyone that got accepted so I would say don't lose hope yet!

What time did you get called?
I'm in eastern time but I got the call at 1:06. Unfortunately, my workplace has terrible phone service so it ended the call immediately but they left a nice congratulatory voicemail!
 
Has anyone heard anything?

Has anyone heard anything about rejections or waitlist?
 
I know two of the contract seats are for sure taken by Clemson students, but have yet to hear about the other 3 or any OOS acceptances from SC
I go to Clemson and only know of 2 people who got contract seats and 1 at large seat from SC

Are you IS or OOS? do you by chance know if all the calls are done (possibly if you’ve heard anything while at MSU)? thanks for any info!!

OOPS just realized my original post said in state. I am Out of state! Sometimes I feel like I’m instate since I’ve been here for so long.. They called instate on Thursday 2/13, and OOS on Friday 2/14. I’m not positive on whether or not they’re done yet. But I wouldn’t think they would stretch it over the weekend.

I just looked back at last years thread and they took 4 days to call everyone so fingers crossed for more calls!
