[Abnerrs]

I did call Washington to see how it worked being waitlisted for both the Washington program and the Utah program. When I asked about ranking they told me it's a pool of applicants and they choose someone that's the best fit for the available spot.

I think I win!

Question regarding application reviews and waitlisting: I have an application review scheduled for the middle of March with WSU, where I am wait-pooled. I'm wondering if I'm solidifying my status as a "next-year" if I have a review regarding how to improve my application. Does anyone have a sense for this?

An application review doesn't solidify anything except a chance for you to know how you can improve for the next year. However, many people who do file reviews and improve on what they are told, do better the next application cycle. It is a way for them to help show you how to improve for the next cycle. that you will get off the waitlist! 😀

[moosegp]

WTFFFF. 😕 That has to be so frustrating.

At first, but now I just laugh and think its ironic. I think i blew the interview which is weird after having been to 3. But I got in other places other wise I would be ripping my hair outtt!

I think if anything it may help you get in this year by reviewing your app. It is almost like one more chance to 'sell' yourself. Also the sooner you can do a file review the more time you have to improve your application before next year. i.e. if you need more hours at a clinic you have more time to get them.

 

[HorseyGal]

So I got waitlisted for Auburn... declined at UTK and still waiting to hear from NC State. If anyone on the Auburn waitlist starts hearing any news, will you post? I have heard thoughts that waitlisters won't hear anything until April 15 at the earliest, anyone else hear something different?

I hereby induct everyone on the waitlist into the sock drawer club.

Our grand pooh bahs are:

TigerWillow
Emiloo


If you have 3 waitlists, you are officially senior members. If you have one, you are our new initiates. You are very lucky haha!

Can I join this sock club? I had 4 waitlists last year and two this year.

 

[orca2011]

Question regarding application reviews and waitlisting: I have an application review scheduled for the middle of March with WSU, where I am wait-pooled. I'm wondering if I'm solidifying my status as a "next-year" if I have a review regarding how to improve my application. Does anyone have a sense for this?

Definitely doesn't solidify anything. I did reviews with 3 out of 4 schools I was wait listed at (the other one I knew I wasn't going to apply to again, so I didn't bother). I took their advice and did as much of it as possible. One of the schools I was wait listed at flat out rejected me. The other interviewed me, but rejected me immediately afterwards (this was the school where I was #2 on the IS list). It's definitely tough because you feel a lot more confident in yourself the following year but you really can't have any expectations cause each cycle is different. However, I did get accepted to one school that wait listed me and I now have to just decide if I really want to go or hold off another year or two and reapply.

Good luck LMMS , DVMDream, and all you other deserving waitlisters

 

[Abnerrs]

Abney did you get your letter!!!???!!!!

Brain fart!! which letter?! lol

 

[Emiloo4]

Can I join this sock club? I had 4 waitlists last year and two this year.

You are automatically placed in the drawer when waitlisted 😀 No invitations or request necessary.

 

[Abnerrs]

I'm gonna hang in the underwear drawer for a bit! I'll be back though!!!

 

[Emiloo4]

You are our honorary degree member with special merits, orca2011

 

[Abnerrs]

Perv 😉

ROFLMAO!!! I am not!!!!

 

[Whyevernot55]

So I got waitlisted for Auburn... declined at UTK and still waiting to hear from NC State. If anyone on the Auburn waitlist starts hearing any news, will you post? I have heard thoughts that waitlisters won't hear anything until April 15 at the earliest, anyone else hear something different?

This is true for all the schools, generally. April 15th is the common response date for accepted students to notify schools of their intention to matriculate or decline a spot. After that, it's on to the waitlists, but many people don't make decisions until late and it is impossible to dip into alternate pools earlier.

 

[Abnerrs]

I did not get the door slammed in my face!! But I'm still stuck in the hall trying to hear through the crack........ sigh

 

[nawrlin57]

Hey NCSU wait-listers... my roommate (who is now graduating :0) ) and most of my 2012 NCSU DVM friends were on the wait-list... soo just some encouraging words.

[GilmoreJones]

On the in state Minnesota waitlist, at least it's not a no...😎

 

[Abnerrs]

Does anyone know if there is an average number of alternates for each school? Or is it pretty different from school to school? Or is this one of those things they keep you guessing about to drive us mad?

From what I've heard it varies from school to school. Some have fairly short lists while others have very long lists with hundreds of people on it.

Hundreds of people?!?!?!

 

[Wildlife woman]

Hundreds of people?!?!?!

Lol ya sorry to break it to you. I think someone on here said that Flordia has around 20 spots I think? But Auburn had at least 100 if not more from what I've heard

Abney,
I know that sounds scary, but keep in mind some of the schools that have hundreds of people, actually go through hundreds. CSU last year had to pull from rejections to fill there class after exhausting their waitlist. Auburn pretty much (with a few exceptions I saw) waitlisted most of the people they interviewed (I'm on the waitlist). I think they said most of the 220 people will be waitlisted. Kansas State said they waitlist a lot of people (in the hundreds) but it usually takes 2 to 3 offers per position to fill the 40 or so spots (so that's 80-120 people). It may even be more if I have my OOS slot numbers wrong. LSU waitlists the remainder of the OOS top 150 that isn't accepted. One year they went through 120 WL spots, and the next it was 55, so it's a complete crapshoot! And then there are some that don't move at all, NCSU being one of them, I think UGA being another.
Just stop thinking about it, because it will drive you crazy. Yes, it's easier said than done, and coming from a complete control freak, I understand, but I was able to let it go and it has made this process SO much easier. You can call the schools and ask or look on their websites (many of the websites show how many people were offered positions compared to how many accepted them). wooooooosa, Abney, wooooosa! 😎

Yeah if I remember correctly Auburn said they were interviewing over 200 people, initially accepting around 65 and then the vast majority of the rest end up on the wait list. So I think their wait list is probably fairly close to 200 (but they said they went through about 140 last year..). But this is just what I'm remembering so it might not be totally accurate but I'd say it's fairly close.


And this is just a guess but I'm assuming IS wait lists are shorter than OOS wait lists because less IS people apply than OOS, and the IS wait lists generally move less so they don't need to have as long of a list.

 

[KassiesMom]

Abney, I was told there are 24 people on the IS, un-ranked waitlist for Washington, and I *think* that includes applicants from Utah and Idaho.

 

[Wycolo]

Did you hear a number for the OOS pool at WSU?

 

[pianoslave]

Just got the news from UPenn, I'm on their waitlist too (and they're my in-state school) So so far 3 waitlists and 1 unknown (Virginia-Maryland) 🙁

 

[KassiesMom]

Sorry, no, I did not get a number for OOS.

 

[jtom]

Abney, I was told there are 24 people on the IS, un-ranked waitlist for Washington, and I *think* that includes applicants from Utah and Idaho.

How do they then decide what order to go in if no one has a rank? I was curious if there are more schools like that where the waitlist does not have a definite order.

 

[KassiesMom]

I wish I knew. I think they may do the ranking once they find out how many slots they need to fill, but that is just speculation. I know, it can drive one batty.

 

[TigerWillow]

From what I know with Tufts is that they relook at all the applicants again and again and again. I guess after a while they'd kinda know who falls where, but they might want a good mixture.

 

[fromthebox]

How do they then decide what order to go in if no one has a rank? I was curious if there are more schools like that where the waitlist does not have a definite order.

Western U has a pool of waitlistees, when someone declines a spot they pull someone with similar stats/background to fill it because the dean "builds" his class to balance each other.

 

[Abnerrs]

Washington told me they choose the right person for the spot. Sigh
