Purdue c/o 2019

Veterinary School Application Advising Ad
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Rejected 🙁 ... BUT go to Mississippi and Auburn thread if you applied there!!
 
Purdue's a no-go for me as well. Indiana would have been a cool place to add to my list, oh well... Strange the way this whole process is working out.

It seems like everywhere you get interviews I don't and where I get interviews you don't. Odd.
 
Rejected 🙁 However will take their offer on the email about evaluating my profile. 1/5
Here We Go

Hi Everyone!
COngrats on the selected ones for interview
 
Interview invite yesterday! Went to my junk mail. So excited! Anyone else on 1/30 in the AM?
 
Congrats to everyone getting interviews! Just wanted to remind y'all that I can house someone for both interview days if you're looking for a place! We have a shuttle to and from Purdue's campus (1$ each way) at my apartment that takes ~15 minutes and comes every hour.

Thank you for being such a sweetheart 🙂
 
I ended up withdrawing my application today. I didn't realize there were 2 different forms to fill out to schedule the time - I thought it was just the 1 form to pick the date. I got a call from the admissions office today saying I had until 3pm to fill out the 2nd one to schedule the interview time and I didn't get the voicemail until almost 4pm. I missed the call because I was out with the vet I shadow in the middle of nowhere all day with no cell reception. Oh well, this is why I applied to so many schools. Good luck to everyone who will be interviewing!!
 
does anyone know how many people are invited to the interview? I want to see what kind of odds I'm up against haha.

I think last year it was ~60 IS, and ~200 OOS? @Ashgirl or @Romoret does that trigger your memory?

That sounds about right. I believe they interviewed 200-240 OOS, and 60-80 IS sounds correct.

ETA: Just checked last year's thread. 240 OOS and 60 IS were last year's interview numbers.
 
just found the forum. anyone else have an interview jan. 23rd in the afternoon? if so, see y'all there!
 
Does anyone know where to find the "To-Do-List" mentioned in the email they sent us for interviews? I already scheduled the interview etc. but I want to make sure there's nothing else I need to do -- do they have a list of times when tours are held or a schedule of the interview day (Jan 30)? Lastlyyyy, is this banquet super fancy? What do ppl wear? haha. Thank yyou!!!
 
I'm not sure where to find the to-do list, but I would suggest going early in the morning, even if you're not in the morning interviews to get a more detailed schedule of events. Banquet is semi-fancy. Some people stayed in their interview clothes, I changed into a more comfortable dress and shoes. At the banquet there will be a student panel for questions and a student or two sitting at each of your tables. The food is buffet style, and really freaking good!

Thank you so much!!
 
Does anybody know if we are required to stay for the full day? My interview is in the morning and I am trying to figure out if I can fly home the evening after my interview, since I am not staying for the banquet.

Nope, you are not required to stay for the entire day! All you need to technically attend is the interview (though there are some fun things like a panel, tour, and information sessions that you can attend during the day as well).
 
Guys it's 0 degrees in Lafayette right now. We may freeze.....

Do a lot of people change clothes for the banquet?
 
And it is windy windy wiiiiiindy. Protect your faces and hands plz.
 
I went to undergrad in Florida so this will definitely be a shock to my system

It's completely up to you. I changed into comfy shoes, but if you want to wear something more comfortable (like slacks and a sweater or something), then that's totally fine too.
 
So I have an interview on the 23rd of January and my friend in INdiana says its -15 degrees there. Am i going to become an eskimo or a popsicle?

The weather in Indiana is very bipolar....I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow it was sunny and 40 degrees! So I wouldn't worry about the weather here until the week of your interview 🙂

-15 isn't necessarily normal (I would say 10-30 is "normal," though it could be 50 degrees or -20, who knows with Indiana)... though I agree this winter and last seems to be attracting the cold temps. My suggestion is to layer. Layer layer layer up. If you have to you can change/de-layer once you get to the vet med building. The parking stinks so you will be walking at least 10-20 minutes. Bring mittens, warm socks, and last year it was so cold I even wore under-armor underneath my suit. I have also heard a few people have hot hands in their pockets as well if you are really adverse to the cold.
 
If you did receive a rejection this time around, I would highly suggest calling or e-mailing to set up a file review. Lori Stout is the new admissions manager and she's really nice!

They say you can take a shuttle from the parking deck... but be aware that it is not any warmer. There was frost on the inside of it last year!

I second Ashgirl's advice... LAYER!
 
I know some schools have rules about contacting the people that interview you but is anyone planning on sending thank yous to their interviewers? Not sure of Purdue's view on that.

I believe it's perfectly fine if you want to. A few people emailed their interviews, and I know a few who sent letters. Just call or email admission to be sure, they could probably help you get contact info as well.
 
Does anyone know what the dress code is like for Purdue for normal class days?
 
My male friend wears jeans and an undershirt + dress shirt. A female friend wears a hoodie and jeans. So, very business casual, but not sloppy.
