Or by the fact that we all currently smell like formaldehyde mixed with rotting death. By Friday interviews we will hopefully be semi-human again since the exam is Thursday. [emoji4]

They hold interviews thursday too. Friday people are good, thursday people get the snoot full. haha
Plus, the smell shouldn't be as bad because you aren't actually digging into the cadaver, just peeking around them. haha

Friday afternoon! I feel like I need to get quite a bit of "prep" in these next few days before I'll feel remotely ready. I may or may not have been procrastinating because that's how I roll.
Does anyone know how interviews are set up? I'm interviewing Friday and can't remember if I saw anything earlier in the thread about how interviews go.
They have a current faculty member, a local vet, and a 4th year student. They ask you questions ranging from what you like and dislike about vet med, stuff from your personal statement and application, to current events. Mine was pretty easy going, just be yourself.
Same here Red! Ahhh it's so nerve wracking!
If the pattern for the past couple of years stays, they interview this week, deliberate/ wait a week, and then they tell us that Monday (would be February 27th). Hopefully it stays to schedule (or goes out earlier, that would be cool!)
LESS THAN 24 HOURS! I've went to an interview at Ok State last year, waitlisted and then they filled the class. So, I've been through the interview before, but that doesn't stop me from being nervous. Last year my interview was as stated above, one faculty, one practicing vet and a 4th year student. It was also very casual and the interviewers were very nice. Overall a good experience. Good luck to all else applying!
Well. Because I've had time to kill I've done a bit of obsessing. Here is the data I have gathered:
c/o: 2020
Interviews: Thursday February 11th and Friday February 12th
Official Decisions: Tuesday February 23rd beginning at 12:05 pm
c/o 2019
Interviews: Thursday February 12th and Friday February 13th
Official Decisions: Tuesday February 24th beginning at 9:53 am
Inferences drawn:
For the last two cycles, interviews fell on Thursdays and Fridays. This is consistent with the current cycle.
Official decisions were released eleven days after the Friday interview day.
Official decisions were released on a Tuesday.
If this data continues toward this trend we can expect to know our official status on Tuesday, February 28th around 11:00 am.
Good Luck tomorrow, folks! Relax and have fun. 
Oh yiiiikes. I'm supposed to be in McElroy at that time to be in the lab haha. No pressure or anything 🤣
You go to OK State? I thought you were OOS
Yeah I am haha, isn't that the irony? I go to OkState for undergrad, and live 10 minutes from the CVM but I'm still OOS. The residency process for OkState is pretty extensive. 🙁
That's brutal.

Hey! Do you in-staters have any idea when we are supposed to hear about acceptances? I am out of state and feel so out of the loop =P
here you go! Red had a pretty good post a little further up that explains how it's been the past couple years/ what we *might* expect to see
Wow, thank you so much! I should've actually read through all the posts =P
For those who interviewed today, how did everyone's interviews go? (I'm living vicariously through y'all)
I felt like my interview went well! I kinda stumbled on one question because I had trouble thinking of a specific example. The interviewers were very nice and easy to talk to. We went over our time I could have kept talking to them.
Hope everyone had a great experience today and Good Luck to tomorrow's people!
Congratulations to everyone who interviewed today, and good luck to those who interview tomorrow!
I survived my interview! Thankfully I was prepared for 90% of the questions they asked me and was able to think of an answer to the rest. There were points when I caught myself talking in circles but was able to shut it down relatively quickly. One of my interviewers was very stoic and didn't respond much to what I was saying, but the other two were very friendly and encouraging so it made up for it. The information sheet they gave us says that we should receive emailed decisions either February 27 or 28th. So close, people, so close!
Glad it went well!!! Ahhh! So close! So many emotions!
Yay! I also felt like two people were more responsive and the third was sorta quiet. AND THAT INFO SHEET! Holy crap. It has been forever since we sent in the applications and now decisions are right around the corner.😱
Nervously crossing my fingers for good news for everybody!

I know, right!? So excited for all of us!
Good Luck random people!
I didn't apply here but I'm waiting for @cdoconn to get in so I'm stalking this thread. Just remember to breath and put it out of your mind. I find decisions come when I finally stop thinking about it.

Wow ski I feel bad, of course I'm seriously pulling for you! I didn't know you applied here, my bad
. Hey you two kick butt ok?
I didn't think they did phone calls? I think they only did it one year because there was a mistake in the email, so they called instead to clarify something.
Thanks Coopah!!! Super nervous.Good Luck random people!

Hopefully we both get in and we don't have to be long distance twlovers anymore!
@SkiOtter Coopah just loves me more. Sucks being forgotten to her, huh?Wow ski I feel bad, of course I'm seriously pulling for you! I didn't know you applied here, my bad
Oh no. Can you imagine if the mistake was that they accidentally sent acceptance emails to people who were supposed to be rejected? That would be bad.
Haha. No it had to do with dates, not accepted/rejected.
Ahhh okay hahaha. Thanks for clarifying!
I did not forget about her! I love Ski, I just didn't know she wanted to go here! Love you Ski 😍😍
😍😍😍I did not forget about her! I love Ski, I just didn't know she wanted to go here! Love you Ski 😍😍
I'M SO ROOTING FOR YOU BOTH @SkiOtter and @cdoconn
Do you have any idea when you should know?!
Do you have any idea when you should know?!
There's only 11 whole days left in Feb. You are SO close!!!!
11 days.
It'll be here before your know it!
No, I don't have internet at my house so my source of email is my phone. Waiting on a phone call would be terrible!
I really can't imagine the emails getting mixed up. I really can't. There is no, like, what would they do? Those people would be so crushed when they find they are actually being rejected.

Back in my day...
*taps cane against floor*
We had to wait for mail to come. So you were stalking the mailman. Sitting around waiting for the sound of the mail truck.
And then we realized that thin letters were bad and thick letters (with stickers) were good.
Now, just an email? Hmmph.

I hope we get mail too. I have a sentimental love of snail mail. 😍
Unless, of course, it's a rejection. That puppy is going in the trash.
Oh, I agree. Seems so far away. I'm currently trying to snap my focus back to undergrad. I get to study Spanish this weekend. Yaaaay.
A vet I used to work for was telling me about this. She said you could always tell if you got in depending on if it was certified mail or not. How nerve-wracking.
If you would've told me this a year ago, I would've died. The mailing services on campus are the worst. September 2015 my mom sent both me and my brother (in Austin) gift card in the mail. He got his in a couple days later, I never got mine. I went to the mailing services, the post office- nothing. I finally got it, as it was finally returned to the sender in MAY- 8 months later.
I don't have good experience with mailing services hahaa
