closer to my home, good small animal program overall, opportunities for exotics, only requires 6w large animal medicine, great SA ECC and SAIM programs (i'm a wanna be specialist)
So our spring break is in 3 weeks now, which is typically when IS hears. So I'm worried that because they don't have OOS notifications out yet that IS will be delayed too...but their welcome day is scheduled as March 28th (and open house the 29th), so everyone should have to know by then right? I'm just going a little crazy waiting this long, and seeing them push back OOS so much makes me scared for how long it will be for IS 🙁 (sorry for the pointless rant, I'm just so restless!)

Are we sure that OOS are delayed because of the admissions committee or was it weather related?
For sure they were delayed at least some because of the adcom... whether or not you would have gotten OOS decisions by now if there was no snow, I have no clue. The PI of the lab I work for works for the CVM and she knows I applied and alerted me when the adcoms got handed OOS applications and she was talking about how behind they were this year...but past that I don't know where they are in decisions, they could be done with OOS or they could not be done. I'm personally hoping you guys hear back this week!
According to last year's timeline, OOS letters should have been sent between January 15th and 30th.
I am also hoping you all hear back this week! Good luck, Raleigh is pretty awesome!

I knew that were delayed until the middle of February but do we think they are even further delayed now?? :-(
I know a professor was reading applications the first week of February, I don't know if they were OOS or IS. We just had 2 and a half snow days, so I'm sure stuff is more delayed. Don't know if anyone saw the news, but Raleigh was a nightmare Wednesday.
Pretty sure they were OOS considering they normally don't even start reading IS until Feb 15 according to the timeline belugal posted from their website.
I think they probably were (obviously this is conjecture), but I talked with my PI today and she said she would snoop around for me, haha. So I will keep you updated if I find out anything else.
Gahh! Well there goes my productivity for this week..
I just got their e-mail about sending out decisions in the mail, and totally thought it was a decision letter itself. Guess i'll do some more anxious waiting haha.
Yup, got an email from the school.

Yay! It's exciting that you guys will finally hear back! I hope the mailmen and women get you your letters quickly and that you hear good news! 
ETA: Heard back from my PI and she said what OOSers already knew, they went out yesterday. But she did add that they think they are on track for all of us ISers and they should be mailed on the March 10th!

Wait, why me? I haven't posted on the successful applicant stats thread yet! (unless you're also a fellow Wisconsin applicant and saw them there?)
Hahaha called out! It's all good though 🙂 don't lose hope, you never know what could happen!
Really crossing my fingers that I get my letter tomorrow. It's gonna be such a long day at work waiting all day.
I know FL mail won't be that quick! I wish but south FL mail combined with where I live, I'll be lucky if I hear on Monday.
Good luck guys!
No luck east coast-ish people? 🙁

Question for current students...
For the open house did they have anything special for the incoming class? The welcome day is the day before which I know is a bit different than last year, so I don't know if that would affect it.

Also, if we get accepted, is it terrible to not be able to go to accepted students weekend...
Welcome Weekend (March 28th) is an event the day before Open House (March 29th). It's not horrible if you miss, it's just a chance to see the school, meet some of your classmates, and you can ask us (c/o 2017) questions. There will be more opportunities for this during the orientation week. We had a lot of people from out of state that couldn't make it (and I was accepted after it, oh well!) and they didn't miss much apparently.
If you are able to go to either of these, I do recommend it though! Open House is a lot of fun, and it's a good way to check out all the nifty stuff the school does.

Wishing all you OOS-ers the best this weekend!
Thank you!!! 🙂
Been awhile since I have chimed in on this thread, but my fingers are crossed for all you OOS-ers!!! Good Luck!!!
As for us IS applicants, I just received an email yesterday that my application was under committee review - with the statement that they anticipate mailing decision letters no later than March 15 - and it also listed the March events for planning purposes.
either way for us IS students, it is still just a waiting game. =)

Not really last year it wasn't over the same weekend. It's a crazy day where 20000+ members of the community come out, so very hard to gear anything to the incoming class.
I wouldn't worry about it. I only came to part of the day cause I had a ton going on .
Got good news here in FL! I'm in!
Congratulations! What part of Florida are you in? Wondering if I need to go home and stalk the mailman. 🙂
Gainesville 🙂
Congrats, Hopefully I'll get to join you! Was NCSU your first choice?
Omg congrats! That means my letter should be here today too! Ahhhh!!!

Awesome! I'm in Pensacola so hopefully mine will be here today too.
Do not like! 🙁
Nothing in Chattanooga today. I was really hoping it would be after seeing all the people that got theirs 🙁
Wait listed 🙁
