So they’ve already sent out over 300 invites and are set to send more through the end of February? Wow.

Congrats to anyone who received an acceptance today! 🥳 If you interviewed on Friday and haven't heard anything yet - do not lose hope. My interviewer didn't call me until after 5pm on the Wednesday after my interview (I was STRESSED).

For anyone who hasn't heard anything yet - no news is good news. Penn has NOT sent out 300 interview invites yet. They will continue to send out invites throughout the rest of this month and into next month. It's very possible they sent out interview invites one week and the people that received them aren't on here. Try to stay positive and hopefully you'll hear good news soon!

Sorry to hear that:/ What did you think of your interview?

I thought I did well! I answered as best as I could and I had zero regrets at the end of it. But the entire time from start to finish, I felt like one of the interviewers was not a fan so that’s that.
This really was my #1 top choice but at least I have an acceptance elsewhere so I can’t dwell on the negatives for too long!

Thank you!! Good luck to you and everyone else!!

PSA: for those of you who are “meh” regarding the file review.. last cycle I was immediately rejected, I did the file review and spoke to the director of admissions, and I got an interview this time around.

Please do your file reviews!! It’s worth it!
 
I’m in state and I’ve got my interview Friday the 27th and I’m STRESSIN’ lol. Any words of advice? I’m excited to see everyone else in zoom!

Did you read that somewhere on their website? I'd love to confirm of this is true. I still haven't heard anything at all since September's email 😭

Nope nothing official. They just said on the website they send interviews out in waves through January and February so don’t worry if you don’t hear yet. It seems like based on this thread those who receive them are getting them on Thursdays

Typically it is at the end of every week. It's historically a Thursday but I don't think that's a hard and fast rule that it HAS to be a Thursday (although I can't find evidence that they have been sent out any other day). It definitely depends on what is going on at the school that week.

I wouldn't lose hope yet. No news is good news! I remember feeling the same way last year, absolute radio silence for months. I didn't get my interview invite until the end of January and many of my V25 classmates didn't get theirs until February. When you are offered an interview is not indicative of how "qualified" you are as an applicant or how well you will do in vet school!

Is it a bad sign if I haven’t been offered an interview invite?

No, no news is good (or at least not bad) news. I didn't get my interview invite until the end of January and many of my V25 classmates didn't get theirs until February. When you are offered an interview is not indicative of how "qualified" you are as an applicant or how well you will do in vet school.
