Hi all! First of all, congrats to all of you! Accepted, waitlisted, or rejected, just getting to this point is a huge accomplishment in itself and you should all be very proud of yourselves. Secondly, I am IS waitlist #4. I talked to a girl who got in a couple of years ago and she said she thinks the IS list made it "somewhere in the teens." If anyone has any more insight to reassure me, I would so appreciate it lol. I know that is a really good spot to be in, but still just coming to terms with the fact I have to feel like this until April.

IS alternate #22, like everyone else is asking, if anyone could provide some insight as to how much that list typically moves, I would really appreciate it! Congratulations everyone!

I was waitlisted last year and number 25 and I moved down to 18….the IS list definitely moves significantly less than OOS and whoever denies their seat gets replaced by the same student type (IS replaces IS)

Just replied to another question like this above^^
I think you have a pretty good chance! I was IS 25 ended up at 18

IS rejection. To be honest I’m not sure how… 4.0 GPA and really diverse experiences (research, SA, LA, exotics, leadership roles as TAs, and seen the business side as well). I thought my interview went fairly well as well.

First off I'm really sorry. Honestly I feel like they take the interview super seriously based on the percentage breakdown thing. I have close to a 4.0 and I was stressing because I tend to stutter and go on tangents a lot in interviews. You should email them for an evaluation because that's honestly surprising. Are you waiting for anywhere else??? Really hope you get into other schools!

I have the same story (4.0 GPA, accepted into several other vet schools, and diverse experience) and was also rejected. One of my interviewers was judgemental towards me and even rolled their eyes at several points during the interview. I left the interview feeling uncomfortable and was expecting a rejection based on that. I am so happy for those that got accepted as tOSU is an amazing school. I have seen a few comments about negative interview experiences- I hope they work to change that for the next cycle.

Agree! I had a really bad experience interviewing with tOSU and I was expecting a rejection because of it. I ended getting waitlist but I’m pretty low on the list (#32) so I’m not expecting to get in 🙁

Yeah I’ve emailed them asking them why. Because I was accepted into Tennessee without needing an interview because they liked my application so much. They said they don’t usually do it but they early accepted me like months ago. All my experiences were with my dads classmates (who graduated osu cvm in 98) and I even shadowed with the class president at his dairy practice. And my grandpa graduated osu cvm in 71. I’m just as confused as you are because it seemed my interview went pretty good, not perfect, but pretty good

Now that I’ve composed myself I wanted to say thank you! This was my third application cycle. I have a pretty low GPA. I’ve had MANY rejections and honestly almost gave up a few times. For anyone reapplying: the hard work and perseverance is more than worth it. For those accepting their offer for tOSU it looks like i’ll be seeing you all in the fall!

What we’re your stats if you don’t mind?

My GPA trend is bad cause I had a rough family situation (had a suicide attempt in my family and my parents had a very messy divorce, was really hard to focus on school after that).

So my VMCAS GPAs we’re:
3.34 cumulative
3.08 science
2.76 Last 45

*Bachelor’s degree in progress*

Hours were really good and diverse.

1,100 hours as a VA for a mobile vet
1,300 hours as a VA for full service hospital
800 hours as volunteer exotic zookeeper and big cat trainer
250 exotic vet hours from studying abroad in Panama
100 volunteer hours from wildlife rainforest reserve
1000 hours as a hospice care volunteer

I’m really hoping the waitlist moves to 32. I have two other acceptances so I’ll be okay if it doesn’t, but tOSU was my first choice [emoji24] I have some hope tho because I know some schools have pulled people off the waitlist from the 140s.

But you got 2 acceptances with those stats! That's amazing. ISU is notoroious for having its waitlist move a lot and MN's last year moved 36 spots instate alone so there's a chance!

OOS waitlist #16. From what I'm seeing of previous years the waitlist doesn't seem to move a whole ton, which is a bit disappointing since Ohio is my number one

I think you still have a decent chance. I was looking at an old post somewhere and someone said that they started off at waitlist position 76 and ended up at 34….the waitlist movement varies year to year but generally OOS waitlist move a lot more than IS.

Oof if going based off last year then I'd finish IS 1. Around how often did you get an update, I'm assuming sometime soon after the April 15th deadline? And also was there a big jump during the first update?

They didn’t send me an email update until around April I think…and I had moved 4 spaces before the decision date. I emailed again for an update at the end of April (didn’t hear from them and I was curious) and I moved ~4 more spaces and then I emailed again in June and I moved 2 spaces and then the list didn’t budge. They sent me an official ‘denial’ near end of July/early August. Don’t hesitate to email them after the decision date if you don’t hear from them, they were fast about replying (I got same day replies). I wouldn’t email too much bc the IS state doesn’t move nearly as much as OOS.
