I’m #15. Rob says it varies from year to year. Last year, they didn’t take anyone off the waitlist so we just have to cross our fingers.
Did you have to call for your waitlist number?

I emailed Rob about something else and he replied also giving me my waitlist number. Technically, we aren’t supposed to email until Friday, but I don’t think it would hurt to ask!
Just wondering if anyone knows the large animal opportunities available for students? I know there is the New Bolton Center but I was unsure how much students are able to go down or if it was just for clinicals.
I’ve heard that with this new curriculum students will be going to NBC starting first year. I spoke to current students and they said it’s what you make of it, if you are interested in large animal medicine there are opportunities every weekend to go down if students want.
This is correct. Even in the older curriculum, we all went to NBC several times per semester starting in first year for wet labs (physical exams, etc). In third year spring, there is an entire block dedicated to LA electives. I imagine that these opportunities will only increase in the new curriculum. Additionally, there are clubs for every discipline you can think of, including LA disciplines, that run all kinds of events each month.
Just factor in that NBC is an hour from the Penn Campus and it can easily be 1 1/2+ hours in traffic.

Has anyone gotten their financial aid package yet? I still haven’t gotten mine /:
I haven’t either! I emailed the Financial Aid Office and haven’t heard back.
I heard back from financial aid today
Like email with package? Or just answering a question?

Must have been IS waitlist then!
Most of the people who just joined the Facebook group appear to be current students, so I'm not sure what (if any) movement there has been on the waitlist...
I don't think the Facebook group is an accurate representation of the the upcoming class. As far as I can tell and have seen, it's been silent for both IS and OOS waitlist.

No worries!! Don’t be sorry! Just trying to keep some hope up for everyone here on the waitlist!
I‘m #5 IS waitlist and haven’t heard anything yet either so confirming it must have been current students joining the Facebook group!
I also emailed Rob and asked if there were any updates and got a auto response that he is out of the office till later this week so we potentially won’t hear anything until he’s back?
