I figured it's time to have a thread for PennVet! Feel free to ask any questions, there are multiple current PennVet students on the forum, and congrats on applying!
Hi, I am V25 so I am in the old curriculum, but I have heard great things from all of the current first years I have talked to!Super nervous waiting to hear!!! Do you have any opinions on the structure of the new curriculum? I work in a lab at PennVet so I have been itching to hear about it (penn would be my in state)
I remember waiting to hear back, this is a super nerve wracking time, but honestly once you start getting interview invites and acceptances you'll be so excited and you'll look back on it and be like "that was kind of fun (but I never want to do that again)".Super nervous waiting to hear!!!

I am a current first year in the new curriculum. We have been able to get a lot of hands on experience since we started class in various areas of vet med. The bock system we are now made classes integrated so we only have one main “class” but we cover anatomy, physiolog, ect for the system that block focuses on. We also have 2 other course one that focuses on clinical skills and another that focuses on how to perform and evaluate good science. Tests are on Fridays at the end of blocks with a few exception. This means we only have tests every couple weeks, not every week. The other big change is clinical rotations start the fall of third year.Super nervous waiting to hear!!!

Website says invitations for interviews will go out December-February, my guess is we’ll start to see them mid DecemberWhen do they start sending stuff out ?
I applied last year and I honestly can't remember when exactly I heard back that I had been rejected but I do remember that UPenn was one of my last 2 remaining schools. I think they start sending out interview invites in December or January though, again though, I can't completely remember.I’m a first time ISS. Did anyone apply last year and if so when did you hear back?
I remember getting a rejection email at the end of February last yearI’m a first time ISS. Did anyone apply last year and if so when did you hear back?
Current student here! Last year the first invitations went out around December 15th for an interview in January. I don't think they changed anything for this year but historically (including last year) Penn sends out Interview invitations in waves for each interview date until they fill the class. This means they do not have a set number of interviews or a specific timeline for when they will be done with interviews. So keep this in mind if you notice other people getting interview invitations so you don't get discouraged! There are several waves of interviews and people are accepted from every interview group. Once you interview the will let you know (usually within a week) if you are accepted, rejected, or "hold." Hold students can be accepted or rejected at any point. If you are still on hold at the time they are done with interviews they will notify you if you have moved on to being an alternate (aka waitlist) or rejected. Last year this happened at the end of February. Once I was on the alternate list I was able to ask for my rank towards the end of march. After that you are allowed to check in with them on a monthly basis to see if there was any movement on the waitlist. I was accepted off of the IS waitlist at the end of June but they can pull you off of the list at any time up to when classes start.I’m a first time ISS. Did anyone apply last year and if so when did you hear back?
