I did!!! I got a similar email back in September (?) and it just lets you onto the WebAdvisor portal where you can see if they received all the admissions materials they require and they will also communicate with you on the email (I think?) so I would check it fairly regularly (I say as I realized I haven't checked it in FOREVER). Not sure about interviews, etc. yet as I haven't gotten further correspondence from them since then. Just kind of waiting and watching my email (constantly) over here
I did get an email on Nov 19th Titled Welcome to the University of Guelph from an international recruitment co-op student. It said something along the lines of "I'd like to personally welcome you now that you are a part of the Gryphon family" however, I did not receive a formal acceptance letter though. There were over 248 people on the mailing list so it was applicants from all majors I guess. I don't know if this is indicative of an acceptance letter if anything I'm more confused now.I did!!!

I just saw that in my mailbox too. I think it was just to all international applicants, I don't think it meant anything in terms of acceptance. I would continue to wait for news from their admissions office about any decisions!
Yeah, I received that email too! At first my heart was like ?!?! but I think it's just a regular blast email lol.I just saw that in my mailbox too.

I don't remember seeing anywhere that all prereqs needed to be done beforehand. Most schools just ask for a final transcript to confirm you passed the course, I've actually seen people use this to their advantage. Putting off courses they know they would do poorly in last so they could get by making the minimum req. grade needed for admission to vet school.
Okay perfect! I was nervous because I think I read somewhere that they don't even consider you if they don't have all the pre-reqs and I wanted to cry because it literally is just one class 😭😭
I also thought that but could not find it when I checked, This cycle has been so odd with COVID with many schools changing stuff up
Did you happen to apply to UCD (Ireland) this cycle? I have been searching for any threads for them but I haven't seen anything 😕
No, I applied to OVC, PEI, RVC, and CSU
Email them and ask? I looked the other day and saw i didn't pay the evaluation fee🤷♂️ I thought I did
I did email, but no response yet hahaha. And ahh no way? Were you able to send it in late or?
I didn't send it yet 🤷♂️ if they mention something I'll ask if I can send it late i Don't remember the url to submit the payment
You actually can’t submit it online. I asked them where I had to submit it but they said it needed to be mailed to them as a certified check 🤦🏽♀️
That would explain why I haven't sent it then 😅
Nope, not yet. I'm not sure if I am going to at all considering I just sent in the transcripts with my last necessary pre-req course yesterday. But, I spoke to someone who works there and she said the interviews will be in early 2021. So, you guys should hear from OVC any day now!
Ok thank you!
Congrats! I just got one too
Congrats to you too!! Best of luck
🎊🎉
I just got mine too! Well done to everyone who got an invite!
Oh I assumed it was the same one - definitely need to figure this out!Also just so I'm not overthinking this - I already did the CASPer for the one US school I applied to that wanted it - I need to take a new one for OVC, right? The Canadian Health Science one? I'm not even mad about it because I don't think I performed well on the US one... time to redeem myself
I emailed them to ask what we should do - I will update as soon as they get back to me!
Hi I was wondering if you could give me some advice! I've been studying for the casper in the summer (Even though I haven't been offered an interview yet), because I am very eager. I was wondering if you had any good resources or tips. Also, my 50:50 is looking to be about 90.8-91. I am really worried. Do you think that I have a shot at being offered an interview, with covid and all?
You have a very high chance of getting an interview! I applied to OVC twice, got an interview both times and my first try I had an 88.5 combined. I also had a lower grade than you for this past cycle and was accepted post interview. (If you are international, I would say you are even more likely to be offered an interview.). That being said, I am not sure how COVID affects things, but I would be surprised if the stats jump another 2%.
Have you heard back from them yet?
I did sorry! They said to email CASPer and ask. I have not done that yet because I forgot 🥴
Oh brilliant! Ngl, I'm kind of excited about this because I don't feel I did great on my first CASPer...... also I already paid for it sooooooo
Hi! I interviewed last year as an international student and I had an MMI interview, but it was over an hour long. I'm under the impression that they will be MMI again this year, but I'm also not sure how it will be conducted in only 15 minutes! Good luck!
Actually never mind, I re-read it. I'm pretty sure it's all good.
I also didn’t get an access code but I signed up for the one that is at 8pm tonight and is for OVC vet med.
I don't believe that we have to send updated fall transcripts yet but if accepted we will most likely need to. Good luck to you too!
Hi! Yep I'm pretty sure it is EST, I think they mentioned it in the first interview invitation email.
Honestly, I know they said it was only 15 minutes and that it was an MMI style but I feel like the most they will ask is 2-3 questions because last year we had like 8-10 minutes to answer each one? My hunch is they used casper to replace the majority of the traditional MMI scenarios and this 15 minutes will be mostly them to ask us more about our application since they had two stations based off that last year. But that's just a guess.
So finished my interview this morning, and this is exactly right. They just asked me specifics about my application and all the questions were specific to me. It was still MMI style so they asked the question, I answered, and then they asked the next question. Thanks for the reply!
How specific were the questions about your application? I cannot for the life of me find my application so I guess I didn’t save it and I’m freaking out a little because I can’t look at it before my interview.
Nothing that you would need to review your application for! Just how experiences have shaped you, so you should be fine on that end
