From my understanding, most acceptances will be done in February. I was so excited I posted but maybe I shouldn't have. On the bright side, We are almost halfway through January! I know the wait can be difficult (been there!).

ive not heard anything .. bu if they are calling people who interviewed on the 5th it seems like the would also be calling people from the 4th if they are accepted. most people will be hearing in feb.
 
Canceling my interview to accept a spot elsewhere. I hope to see that interview waitlist MOVE!

:luck:GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!! :luck:

has someone from the waitlist have gotten an interview?
 
Hey..I couldn't find anything on the website.. Does anyone know if you need to have a C or above in prerequisites or is a C- or above ok?

Looks like a C or above for the main pre-reqs but I'm not sure about their gen ed requirements:

Capstone Courses – Biochemistry, Microbiology, Physiology, and Communication coursework must be completed with: (1) a grade of C or better in each course, (2) a minimum of 3.0 (B) average among the courses, and (3) no more than one C among any of the capstone courses.
  • If any of the capstone courses are taken as a multiple-part series, this rule will apply to each part as an individual course.
  • All the prerequisite courses must be completed by the end of the spring term preceding the autumn term when you would start vet school. You do not have to have all the prerequisites completed before applying.
More info here, including who to contact with questions: http://www.vet.osu.edu/education/dvm-admissions/prerequisites

are you accepting ? or are you waiting on other schools as well?

Thank you! I am deciding between UC Davis and here! I'm excited for either. Leaning towards Davis, but waiting to see if any scholarships are offered. During the phonecall today, they said they may offer a scholarship in February.
 
Has anyone IS who interviewed already hear anything yet? Anxiously but impatiently waiting.

UC davis was my dream school i didnt even apply because i was doubtful i'd ever get in. lol
Congratulations on which ever you choose. Now I am patiently hoping i get a call.
 
I have a missed call / voicemail from Dr. Lord, couldn't get a hold of her after work... i know they call for acceptances, but do they call for rejections? Or does this mean I'm in??:eek:

Congratulations, I'm sure you're in!

Haha can you imagine how terrible it would be if they called for rejections? No reason to do that unless they felt like being cruel.

I imagine you're in for sure! who wants to call and tell someone they are rejected, it would be horrible for both people.

Is or OOS?

I'm sure you're in too. I initially missed my acceptance call, and Dr. Lord left me a voicemail asking me to call back.

iwonder if these calls are from the original interviews, or are going out as people are rejecting admission

I believe they're going out after the original interviews. They only just started interviewing on 01/04. They only accept/reject a few people on a rolling basis, whereas most people find out in mid-February when they send out decisions in the masses.

OMG ... that sounds correct as I haven't yet heard of someone saying they got a rejection call...... O_O Holy **** though I did not think I would get in this year at all!!

I got the call at 2:05pm EST while I was at work. I am IS and an OSU student.

:DFor those who care:
GRE: 80th % verbal, 59th % quan; GPA 3.8; Science GPA: 3.72; only ~900hrs veterinary experience small animal and wildlife

.... also... :soexcited::soexcited:

did any one send you rinterviewers thank you emails? I tried but i didnt get a reply (both interviewers had two emails on the osu website) and im not sure if i picked wrong one or they just dont reply because of bias and stuff like that
 
I did send thank you emails as well, and didn't get any replies. It could be bias.

I think maybe me being an OSU student had something to do with getting a call tbh, because I felt I was pretty average in that I had good grades but very narrow experience. I've never even shadowed a real vet clinic:wideyed:, just worked at a spay and neuter clinic and did some international internships with wildlife. No large animal, no research.. so don't get too nervous, most people's apps seem better than mine!!! Wish you all luck:D!!

Oh and thank you everyone!!

I did not send thank you emails because they specifically told us not to said it wasn't necessary in one of the interview schedule related emails. But I'm sure it doesn't hurt if you did! Sorry for the initial mixup of my words!

really? i remember reading that they werent necessary but nothing that said not to. now i feel like they think i cant follow instructions.
which logically is probably not the case but in all the stress of applying any slip up feels like the end lol

They just said thank you cards aren't necessary, but didn't say not to :) I'm sure you're fine! Plus, you should only send thank you cards/emails if you're sincere about it, not in the hopes of boosting your chances. I'm sure it doesn't play a role in the admissions decision!

I didn't send any thank you notes since I interpreted the message about thank you notes as that I should not send anything at all. I've sent them to other schools, this is the only one I haven't sent them for.

i dont think a thank you would improve admission chances anyway because it really doesn't change whether or not the interview was good or not.

I wanted to thank my interviewers because the one (Bill) told me that he could help me get large animal experience even if i wasnt admitted into the program. My other interviewer (Kat) was also super nice during the entire process

I called and asked. They said emails were fine. The email was about handwritten cards (and getting them all to those who interviewed us.... imagine getting hundreds of cards and needing to distribute them all).
