I couldn't agree more. At this point I just want to know so I can start thinking about what I am going to do next.

Hi everyone, long-time lurker and I finally joined..
But I have a question for anyone who hasn't heard anything yet:
I checked my application status in the buckeye portal back in early December, before interview notifications had been sent out. It said "decision" (rather than "pending") and said that my application was not accepted, but I got an email for an interview the next day and interviewed on the 28th. My portal decision still says denied. Has anyone else had this problem or know someone who has? Should I call admissions and ask? Only asking because everyone else on here said their decision on the portal changed to denied before interview invites were sent out and they ended up getting a poorly typed email about not getting an invite..

Yea you should probably call but I think they closed for today. Unless you want to try I would call tomorrow
Thank you 🙂
I have all my digits crossed for you guys!!! @MixedPracticeJunkie @mary.swiger @mjb458
Thanks! As of now its definitely tomorrow. Just worried cuz my interview was bad
I'm sure it wasn't!
Good luck peoples.
I finally got accepted this year after numerous cycles, so believe me when I say that I understand your anxiety, frustration, and pain. I've been the person who was denied right away. I've been the person who was interviewed and denied. I've also been the person who was wait listed and next in line but ultimately denied. It all sucks, but it's all survivable. Sometimes you just have to jump through more hoops. Sometimes those hoops are on fire.

Thank you! It means a lot to me! Hoping for the best.
I called and they are for sure getting back to us today. I am very nervous :/
I'm looking to move to Columbus the beginning on June (because my current lease will be up) and I was wondering if its possible for incoming vet students to get a paid job at the vet school either in the hospital or doing research? If so, where can I find these opportunities? Thank you!
So no one has heard today? It's like 1:30 when are they sending them :<

I'm interested in veterinary public health too! This makes me so excited to see a classmate with the same interest!!
same
i was hoping to look into the dual mph if the work load doesn't kill me too much
1st time, OOS

I'm optimistic, that's great! That's the top of the waitlist! Best of luck; we're rooting for you @mjb458 !
Thanks so much! How much does it usually move
It completely depends on the year
#19 waitlist OOS. That was surely a nail biter. I really wish it didn't take that long lol.
Hi guys I have been watching this board for a while now because I'm also applying to OSU. Been nervous and got my email today too; made an account specifically looking for some projection or comfort as to my spot!
I'm #5 on the waitlist, out of state if it matters. I'm just about beside myself with nervousness. Could someone tell me if this is good? (1st time applicant and by no means an expert on this process)
Thanks!

I don't know the history or what is typical but I do know people who are almost certainly going to other schools but that have not declined yet. I have a feeling you are in a great position to get in this year! Crossing my fingers for you 🙂.
Woo hoo! I was number 2 on the wait list last year and I got in in July! You are in a good spot🙂

Well, last year the OOS did not move at all. They had to work to get more IS students in I think. Every year is different!
I thought they over admitted last year thats why
Shucks, does that happen often?
