NC State University c/o 2024 Applicants

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
@NCSU CVM What does it mean by the waitlist being unranked? How do you decide who gets pulled off in the case of an in-state student declining?
Applicants who have been admitted have until the April 15 deadline to notify us of their decision to accept or decline the offer. Typically, the college doesn't know if space is available until after April 15. The Faculty Committee on Admissions then assesses the remaining pool of alternate applicants for seats in the class.
 
What are the odds of getting off the list? I was told that NCSU typically under-accepts IS applicants? Thanks
It's hard to prognosticate. Every year is different and each side of the pool, resident and nonresident, is different.

Please remain patient. April 15 will be here before you know it.
 
@NCSU CVM so even if people decline prior to the deadline, we won't hear about our position on the waitlist until after April 15th?

We won't act on the waitlist until the total number of outstanding offers falls below 100. Judging on past history, that won't happen before April 15.
 
Hey guys. Curious if anyone knows of any IS accepted applicants who are still undecided. Waitlisted and dying! Thanks!


I don’t know of anyone, but I think it will be best (albeit hard) to just wait until April 15th. Most people have decisions to make and will probably take the whole time to do so. I am also waitlisted and know how weird of a feeling it creates, but letting go of that control has helped time start to fly by! Best of luck to you!
 
For people who were waitlisted, are you still attending the reception? Trying to decide if I should go or not.
 
@NCSU CVM is the welcome reception still going to happen even though the Open House has been canceled? Thank you!
 
Welcome Reception Canceled:

As health officials continue to monitor COVID-19, or Coronavirus, the University and College of Veterinary Medicine have decided that it is in the best interest of our students, faculty, staff and guests to cancel all gatherings and events scheduled to be hosted at college facilities.

We understand this will be disappointing news for many, but the safety of our students, staff, visitors, clients and patients is always a top priority in any decision. We are working on strategies to enable prospective students to obtain information about our program via virtual methodologies.

NC State is closely monitoring the situation and has a comprehensive resource site with information and updates about coronavirus: Coronavirus Response

Please accept our apology for any inconvenience that this causes.

Thank you for your interest in NC State and we hope to see you in the future.
 
@NCSU CVM Are financial aid decisions still going to be released before April 1st or have things been pushed back due to COVID-19? Thank you!
 
Does anyone have any suggestions on improving my chances for next year? At least I was at work surrounded by dogs when I got my rejection haha

Hey! I don't know if it will help or if you're still even interested, but I'd be more than happy to talk you about what was on my application and what I did if you want to talk through it. I'm so sorry you didn't get in. I was rejected from 2 schools last year so I get how you feel and it sucks ... so I'm sorry.
<3
 
I can't believe it's finally April!!! April 15 can't get here soon enough... *crossing fingers and toes*
 
@NCSU CVM Hi! I know it may still be too early to tell, but can we expect any movement on the IS waitlist to begin after April 15?

Historically, some admitted applicants wait until April 15 to inform us of their decision. Therefore, we can't move to the waitlist until after that date. We ask for additional patience this year as staff works remotely.
 
I was accepted this cycle (VERY thankful) after three years of applying but my best friend is on the IS waitlist and I'm almost as nervous for her as I was for myself. Any hint as to when she could hear or approximately how many spots there are? 🙂
 
I just accepted an IS seat at Cornell and will be pulling myself off the waitlist! Hopefully it helps someone else get off the waitlist!
 
Maybe they took yesterday to review and discuss the waitlist and will contact us today? Or Monday?
 
Did anyone else interpret today's email as a waitlisted applicant, that we should plan to wait to hear back closer to June 1st?

My friend who was admitted also got the email, so I think it was sent as a reminder to both accepted and waitlisted people to submit their transcripts.
 
I haven’t received an email! But I completed/submitted all the prereqs, could that be why?
 
Maybe? I graduated last May and all my stuff was final when I submitted. I am IS too so I don't know?
I texted my OOS friend who was accepted and she said she got the email too... 😕 I'm a little confused now.

That was a reminder e-mail for all admitted and waitlisted applicants to have final transcripts submitted by June 1 if you intend to enroll or want to enroll (if offered a seat from the waitlist). It's a mass reminder for all; it's not nuanced for individual situations.
