Yes, last year they allowed us to contact admissions after April 30th for a file review. You can contact the Admissions Office by telephone, 215-898-5434, or by e-mail to [email protected]
I thought there was no official waitlist last year because they sent invites out in waves?
i know in previous years they’ve done interview invites in waves so maybe instead of waves they just announced everything today and will pull off the waitlist later?
and i know someone who got 2/9
I so hope this is true
So yes you can look this up. I believe it’s on VMCAS penn website. Here are the stats:
Ahh I didn’t think about checking a VMCAS site, thanks for the info!
whats the link to this site? I couldn't find it and was curious about other schools I applied to as well
Here is the link to the VMCAS Admitted Student Stats:

They sent you a waitlist email on Tuesday and then an invite yesterday? That amazing! Good luckI was just offered an interview after being waitlisted on February 2!!
Thank you! I must have been one of the first on the waitlist! I am so grateful!They sent you a waitlist email on Tuesday and then an invite yesterday? That amazing! Good luck
I wonder if they consider teamwork in their admissions like if the students let others talk and not dominate the conversation
super nervous actually! i have a specific opinion that i think most people agree with but im still jittery about it!
It probably depended on the people and the group, but I can say for my group that they were amazing. We seemed to all have a common understanding of letting each other say a thing and keeping that space open, if anything we were a bit quiet at first but got our groove. I can definitely say though that RVC's interview format was BY FAR my favorite interview, it felt so much less like an investigation and more like a friendly get-to-know-you type thing. It was the first time I left an interview kinda sad because I was having a blast talking with people, and that's saying something since I'm more on the introverted side.
I was on the waitlist and was invited for an interview the next day!
I thought it was good! It's just 5 applicants, the prompt, and the interviewers are silent in the call. The vibe for mine was super cohesive and chill.
were you asked any individual questions about yourself or was it just working as a group to answer the prompt?
Just working as a group! They will take you to a private room after the prompt just to reflect or ask questions abt PennVet or the general area, but there was no actual behavioral or situational questions solo.
Don't worry -- they are confused about the new curriculum too, I think that's why there's not better info on the website. It's still kind of a mess, tbh. I would just say that it moves pretty fast. If you learn better in "chunks" versus in a long-term, linear way, I would say it might be for you. You basically take 4-5 week "blocks," one at a time, so you're really only learning the specific system they're teaching -- but your anatomy and histology are rolled into that "system" and they are not separate classes. Make sure you're 100% about Penn Vet before committing because they are still working out a lot of kinks in the program!
in previous years i know they’ve called applicants within the next few days after the interview to let them know the decision but idk if they’re doing that differently this cycle too. if so that sucks bc i was really hoping i wouldn’t have to sit in suspense lolThey told us decisions would be send out by 2/28 yet I’m still over here refreshing my email every 5 minutes
^^ been dying to know as well
With my email correspondence, they said they would email me on the Wednesday before my interview
I heard back the Wednesday before my interview in the morning!
