however if they are just mailing them out in 7 days, i guess that means that it will be a few more days after that before we actually find anything out!
Have any current students heard if they have officially decided the designation of the additional 20 seats as is or oos? the website still says they have not decided, but I'm guessing they just haven't updated it since they have already done oos acceptances and are so close to sending is acceptances.
I live in the same zip code as the vet school. If I don't get it like the day after they send them I might have a heart attack.
MISINFORMATION ALERT:
Decision letters will not be finalized in 7 days. Please refer to the timeline located at:

In an email I received they stated: "Please see the CVM Timeline for information on our review process and potential decision letter dates: http://cvm.ncsu.edu/studentservices/timeline.html"MISINFORMATION ALERT:

Hey everyone! Thought I should let you all know, a friend of mine who lives in Raleigh got her acceptance letter today from NCSU. It was dated 2/16/12. I live about an hour away from Raleigh, but I have not gotten a letter one way or another yet. Eeek! Hang in there!

my stomach is literally in knots with all the ups and downs of information, i just want this to be over with already!!!!
I get the distinct feeling from your posts that you work for the university.
I'm super excited for the open house to happen again, though! I've still yet to tour the new center.
You're sure it was from NCSU? If so, omg. I'm so perplexed and terrified by the conflicting rumors haha.
Yes, I'm sure. I saw the letter myself. I think she is in a food animal scholars program though, so that might be why she is getting hers now? Also just checked the mailbox and no letter from NCSU for me today, just a rejection from UGA.
I don't know if this has been asked in the forum or not, but I've found I have a few questions about NC States curriculum. Does anyone know what year you start doing any kind of surgical procedures? i.e. do you start doing neuters your second year etc. I know you have the options of selectives and there's potential in that, but I wasn't sure if there was a definite lab in which you get to start surgeries. My other question was about terminal surgeries. Is this something NCSU practices?
Also, your finals are before thanksgiving?! Do any current students find this to be too condensed, or does it feel just about right since the start of classes are earlier in August?
Also, how important should things like the above be in your decision for veterinary school (how soon you start your surgical experiences)?

We start surgery lab second year. We do dog neuters and spays. We start surgery on cats in third year. (Second years on this forum, correct me if I'm mistaken about that!) We adopt out the animals; those aren't terminal surgeries.
Yep, finals are before Thanksgiving, which I was very grateful for. It's SO nice to be done before the Thanksgiving break, because you can truly enjoy it instead of studying. I much prefer that to having finals after Thanksgiving.
Oh, I actually got to participate in a koi surgery in my first semester, though! It was so cool! I took the fish medicine selective. I served as anesthetist for the first koi surgery, and assistant surgeon during the second surgery. As assistant surgeon, I did some of the abdominal exploration, and closed our skin incision with simple interrupted closures.
It's hard to say how important those factors you listed are in terms of deciding where to go...that's really up to you to determine. For me personally, I was looking for a school where I would feel quite comfortable with surgery by the time I graduated (having worked with vets who had minimal surgery experience before graduation, it's something I knew I'd need as much of as I could get). I'm very glad that we start surgery stuff here during second year.
By the way, here's the link to our curriculum: http://www.cvm.ncsu.edu/dvm/Year2.html. Click on the right hand menu to see the curriculum for all of the years.
Oh my gosh this anticipation is driving me nuts!!!! Can we in-staters please get some news!!!! (Good news, please?) I swear the beginning of this year has seemed like it's lasted forever.
seriously, i just want to go home today and find a nice envelope (preferably a thickish one) waiting in my mailbox...is that really too much to ask?!?!I totally agree!! And it's gotten even worse since the rumors started that the letters are coming out earlier! I had planned to wait to freak out until March 1. But now it's in full swing already haha
Just take a deep breath and remember that vet school itself will be much, much more stressful (kidding! ).
Seriously though. They'll come when they come, there's no reason to get worked up in anticipation.
Not to ad to the confusion...but...I spoke with someone Friday who applied to NCSU and she heard from a "very reliable source" that the letters for IS were sent out Friday. I am assuming this "very reliable source" was one of the kajillion NCSU vet students she knows personally...but who knows...so yeah...just to freak everyone out again, I had to post this. Daaahh!!! ::::runs in circles::::
Are any of y'all going to the pre-vet symposium this weekend? It's at NCSU this year!
Just received a phone call offering me a spot in the Combined DVM/PhD program. I would be starting the actual vet program with the class of 2017, but grad school in August. Still have a few more schools to hear from, but very excited about this opportunity and ultimately making my decision!
Same! I can't imagine the letters went out on Friday. Maybe today, but seriously, I can walk to the vet school in like ten minutes... I think it would have gotten to my place within two business days. Or at least I'd hope so.Nothing in the mail today, which makes me wonder if they were really sent out on Friday because I live right down the road. But I guess we will find out soon enough!
If I weren't going out of the country, I'd totally be going to APVMA... but yeah, Costa Rica is calling. I know a lot of the people who've been setting it up, though, and it's going to be pretty awesome. I posted recommendations on lectures on an older thread a couple months ago. Registration is super super full at this point, they had a looong waitlist last I heard.Are any of y'all going to the pre-vet symposium this weekend? It's at NCSU this year!
Yes, congrats Foxhunter! What an acheivement!
