I figured I'd get the email today, and I did...
My Interview is May 12th.
Any other people applying to OVC this year get an email yet???
Eeeek I'm so nervous already!!! lol
 
yeah! i got the email today. may 11 for me. i thought they would be in june this year like last year. the timing is really screwing up my plans -.-''
 
Yeah this year they bumped up everything a couple of months.
And one thing I heard is that they might be changing to the "multiple mini interview" which is making me more anxious, cuz it sounds harder then just a regular ol' sit down interview.
 
Mine is May 11th as well 🙂 Clearly interviews are earlier this year (that's been on the OVC website for a while) but they are going to be the typical interviews for this year - they will likely make changes for next year.
 
Are you sure about that?? lol

Cuz that would reduce my anxiety a lot!! 👍
 
yeah.. congrats if you got an interview because then you're one of the top 200 that applied! lol. i wonder if the date of when your interview is is random?

I can't believe its so soon! >_<
 
dee vee emm - there's something on the FVC board that Elizabeth Lowenger wrote, I will try to find it later (don't have time now sorry). But I'm sure, ya.

I also heard a rumor that the earlier your interview is, the higher you are in the 200. But....I'm not sure that's true lol, my interview is the first day, and my marks are good but not over the top amazing, so???? haha. Not sure if I believe that rumor!!

Congrats to everyone who got interviews!
 
I thought that they were switching to the MMI format this year?
 
lol same.. my marks are pretty good, but not outstandingly good! but I guess its a good thing to get it done first right?

whats the MMI format about?
 
does anyone know how long before they let u know if u got accepted or not? i think last year it was 2 weeks after all interviews are over. but cuz interviews are earlier this year, im wondering if its going to be the same.. i'm just trying to plan ahead since i will have to find new housing if i get in!
 
Ya, I heard by the end of May.

PS I need a roommate!!

Yea it was about 2 weeks last year after the interviews that you found out the end result.

And I was talking to someone I know that just finished his 3rd year and he said that the interviews are randomly assigned to whatever day you get, not by your academic standing. But people always speculate right? lol

Are you guys/gals all from Ontario??
 
lol well i guess its good to get it over and done with early..

yeah I'll be needing roommates too! I think I'll be looking for student housing off campus.. but hopefully somewhere not too far from school =)

I'm actually originally from Vancouver. I came back, then got the email saying my interview was in 2 weeks. pretty stupid that I have to fly back now! lol. I hope I get accepted.. I couldnt apply last year because I had to satisfy the residency requirements first. So I already wasted a year! Don't want to waste anymore time..But I've been living in Kitchener because my boyfriend went to U of Waterloo and we shared an apartment. So I've got to find a place in Guelph if I get in!

Is everyone from Guelph or somewhere nearby?
 
I'm from just outside of Windsor... so it's like a 3 hour drive to Guelph for moi.
 
Yeah, I'm doing my undergrad in Guelph. My house is a 4 min bike ride from OVC (lol about 20 mins to walk). There's tons of student housing around the campus in Guelph, it shouldn't be a problem at all.
 
hopefully not! good luck to everyone!
 
sooo....how did the interviews go? (for undergrads) and good luck to all of the grad students who are interviewing this week!!
 
i think mine went alright. my grades arent bad so i think i stand a good chance.. ahh! its scary! i wish they would let the results out already! lol
 
Yeah I think mine went well. I prepared a lot for it, and the 2 guys interviewing me were really nice.
How did everyone else's go?
 
Congratulations to everyone on making it this far! 🙂 I can imagine how nervous you all are, but you should take comfort in knowing that you did your best, and that it's out of your hands now...But I'm sure that isn't very comforting right now...😉
I'm applying to OVC next year, and am already terrified, especially for the interview, as I believe that next year they are starting the MMI as opposed to the traditional style...Does anyone have any more info on this? For example, do you know if the MMI interviewers have access to yoru BIF, etc?😕

Good luck to everyone!:xf:
 
im actually psyched for the multiple mini interviews.. it gives us more chance to showcase who we really are. I heard that they were going to ask like non vet related stuff.. stuff like what we will do under certain environments.. or how we interact with people! I think more interaction is better than the traditional interviews! anyway.. im still a year and sem off till i can apply so good luck to those next year and let us know how it goes!

I'm just unsure what to expect...I don't know of anyone applying to a vet school that does MMIs (Do any use them? I actually have no idea...), and my friend who did both traditional and MMIs for different med school says that the MMI was both good and bad...Good because, like you said Alex, there's a lot more non-medicine related topics and situations, and that if you make a mistake in one interview, or it doesn't go well, it's over in 8 minutes and you get to make another, and hopefully better, impression on the next set of interviewers. However, she also said that because each of the interviews was totally different (some had actors, some you had a debate with another student, some were just question-answer...) you never really got into the 'groove' of things and had to 're-prepare yourself' for each new station...I don't know, I'm just nervous about the whole process in general...But right now, I should be even MORE nervous about the MCATs, which I'm writing this summer....:|😛
 
haha me too! mcat -_-
do you study at guelph?! Which year art thou!
 
Anyone hear anything yet?? I'm too chicken to check the Webadvisor page....lol
 
ok nevermind, I saw that they are sending out emails the week of June 1st now...🙄
 
yeah... the wait is killing me! argh lol
 
I didn't receive an email yet but the decision has been posted on Web-Advisor.... I hope that the decision is positive for you guys!
 
Did you all hear yet? I couldn't check myself so I got my friend to check web advisor for me and got some great news! How about all of you??
 
WHOOOOOOO CLASS OF 2013!!! I'm super pumped 🙂 Congrats everyone!!
