Alrighty, checked with Anna and all notifications have been sent for disqualifications and IS interviews, so OOS, no news officially equals good news for now. Also, all acceptance, wait list and denials will be email this year, so no more waiting for snail mail!
Our dean actually originally studied to be a poultry vet before happening on the academia track. She is a great one to talk to if that is your interest. There are electives in avian physiology and anatomy as well as externship opportunities, and I believe I saw a scholarship or two for those with that interest. I don't know what Georgia offers, but like anything, the opportunities will be there if you have the interest.
It is a great school from what I have heard from others. As far as choosing where to go, you just have to make the pros and cons list for yourself and see what happens when you flip a coin. Were you secretly hoping for one more than the other during that moment before the coin hits?
Yes being close to Arkansas is a plus that's where I have done all of my poultry related internships and I loved it there. I even got to travel to Stillwater and work in one of the Tyson hatcheries while I was there. Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm not sending my acceptance into Georgia yet, first I want to see if I have any comparable offers. I would love to receive an offer from Oklahoma especially one of the contracts seats. For some reason not many Delaware people applied to Oklahoma this year as they did Georgia, but I've toured the campus/area and really like the environment.
Are disqualifications different from rejections?Alrighty, checked with Anna and all notifications have been sent for disqualifications and IS interviews, so OOS, no news officially equals good news for now. Also, all acceptance, wait list and denials will be email this year, so no more waiting for snail mail!
Yes, some people have an issue with the required prerequisites, so they are notified earlier about being disqualified from the applicant pool. Rejections are for those who qualified but did not make it past consideration for a spot. Rejections, wait list and acceptances all go out at the same time.
Thanks, guess I'll remain worried lol
It won't be long now! Last year they went out last week of Feb, but they say first of March just in case. 🙂
I got the same email. It was really weird because it came to my undergrad email and not the one I used for grad school and VMCAS.
We had a special case in the hospital. I agree that it was unfortunate, but hopefully anyone who really wants a tour can come during open house, or just email Anna to set one up. 🙂
Ok, thanks! Yeah, I was thinking I would call and set one up sometime. 🙂
I'm an instate applicant and they told us at our interview that admissions would be preparing and sending out e-mails the 26th and 27th of Feb.
Anna sets the Facebook page up and will add you. Congratulations!!!!!!!!
Yes I am an in state applicant. I hope you hear good news soon!
Congrats on getting accepted in state! 🙂 Big accomplishments are happening everywhere!
What is the best way to get ahold of Anna to set up a tour?
you can call or email. No preferences. Joyce can also set one up. 🙂
Lots of reasons I chose to come here. Small class size, no tracking, plenty of case variety, and cheap living are just some of them. I posted in the Factors in choosing a school thread for a slightly more complete breakdown.
Tons of options. I live by myself in a two bed one bath house w/ garage and big backyard for my dogs for $600 a month and pay ~$160 for utilities, plus or minus time of year. Takes me 25 minutes to walk or 5 minutes to drive to school. Lots of housing students share right next to the vet school as well and plenty of apartment complexes. People here have a wide variety of animals including many with horses since there are plenty of places to board.

Factors when picking a school
I was wondering this, too. In the email it says something like "you compare favorably to those that were offered admission" but I am sure that is what is written to every alternative, right?..
Wait listed OOS mine said the same thing. Good luck!
OOS wait list usually has a decent amount called off. It varies from year to year, but no reason
