do you have a lot of vet hours? or what do you think made u application stand out if you don’t mind sharing! I had similar stats but i am an interview alternate.
I have about 6,000 hours! Most from a mixed animal practice, some at a small animal only, and some at a mobile clinic.
I think a few things made me stand out, I have a diversity, equity, and inclusion internship. I do a lot of volunteer work with people from disadvantaged communities (foster kids, kids with disabilities, low income college students, and I did community-based HIV research) and I talked about wanting to diversify the vet profession in my professional statement.
I’m also a first generation college student and I experienced a homeless situation for a few years, which I talked about overcoming in my personal and explanation statement and I think that is unique.

That's the same email that I received. I think it was a general "how to improve"
Thank you!
Anyone else receive a rejection email but didn’t have their portal updated? Mine still says pending
Mine from last year still says pending and I was rejected. I don’t think they update it
Do they not update it cause we’re rejected or do they just not update anyone’s?
Mine still says pending and I am on the waitlist for an interview
I was offered an interview and mine still says pending.. made me panic that they made a mistake 😅
Congrats to all of you interviewing at OSU! I loved my OSU interview and the subsequent 4 years of vet school there that came after. Enjoy the process<3
I'm in the same boat! On sdn it seems like previous years said they don't update the portal much.
Also in the application portal, under the "Application requirements" tab, I don't remember filling out the "Community Enrollment Question," but it says it is complete? Does anyone else have this? Has this always been on our portals or is this new?

does anyone know how fast the interview waitlist moves
The initial round of interview invites has until Jan 6th to schedule or decline/forfeit their interview so I imagine people will start being pulled from the waitlist after the 6th

Yes. OH is EST.

Anyone know what to expect in the interview? Is it traditional? And how to prepare? Just super nervous!!
my interview from a few years ago was pretty short. They asked maybe like 5 questions and my answers really reflected my personality without being too wordy. At the end I was able to ask any questions I personally had. I recommend coming up with a couple questions to ask and just be yourself. I believe in some of the previous OSU CVM forums there are some examples of past questions (some of those were asked when I was interviewing so try to find those!)
To everyone who is interviewing, good luck!!!! And to those who did not make it to interviews this cycle, keep trying! The best thing you can do is make yourself a better candidate for the next year so they can’t turn you down!😊
what about your experience if I can ask 🙂
Sure! I have about ~6k hours of vet experience (mixed animal, small animal, and a mobile practice). Thousands of hours of animal experience including volunteering with equine assisted therapy and at a cat shelter. My extended family also has a farm where I spent a lot of time growing up.
Extracurriculars include being on the western equine team, rodeoing, academic team and national honor society in high school, and holding a few leadership roles in a federal program that assists low income/first generation/students with disabilities. I’ve been to a few national conferences that focused on leadership as well.
I have an internship with my school’s cultural center; it’s a DEI internship which I think is really unique. I also did a little bit of HIV research, not in a lab, but with the community.
Did anyone receive a link for their interview yet? From the couple emails they have sent me, I don't see a zoom link yet
