OOS rejection [emoji17]

OOS rejection. I skim these emails so quickly that I completely missed the “dear first name” and had to go back and look to see if I got that too. I did lol oh well 🙄
OOS interview!
I am so sorry for anyone receiving emails addressed "Dear First Name". I promise Purdue is not like that at all. It sounds like a really bad glitch in the system (especially if they're working hard to resend emails with your actual names). It still sucks though, and for that I am sorry. I hope there are other schools you have applied to as well so your dream of becoming a veterinarian is still on track.
Got rejected from Purdue last night as well, OOS. Oh well, still have yet to hear back from 3 more schools about an interview decision & 1 where I already interviewed.
Invited to interview, OOS. Good luck to everyone!

OOS rejected. Good luck to everyone else!
This is what I’m doing! Purdue is only 1.5 hour drive from Indianapolis, so not too bad
I booked the Lafayette Limo service that has a stop at the hotel I chose. You can schedule pick up through their website. I chose the round trip option so I get picked up at the airport dropped at the hotel and vice versa. $45 for round trip service.

Thank you!
There is also a stop to the campus as well, but I didn't book that just yet because I figured at that point I can just uber to campus. Hope this helps.
How did you book this? What hotel?
Lafayette Limo Inc Reservation & Fare Quote System (go to this website) from there when you select pickup location you can select whichever airport you are flying into.
Then select drop off location (I chose the hotel based off drop off locations available)
I fly out early Saturday morning so I chose the hotel that is the last stop before the airport. The hotel itself is 5 miles from campus.
Opting for the round trip option discounts $5. Otherwise it's $25 each trip.

How are y'all planning on getting to the university? Do any of the hotels offer a shuttle to the university? I am debating whether I should rent a car or take the shuttle from Indianapolis.
I think I'm going to rent and I got an air bnb for $100 for 2 nights

Does anyone know what people wear to the "special interview Banquet"? Are you just staying in your interview clothes or changing?
I was planning to wear business casual
You can do either, some stayed in interview attire, others changed into a dress or something nice but a bit more comfortable. It’s still pretty fancy though, just not as serious as the interview.

Does anyone know if Purdue requires a transcript from Fall 2019? I am having trouble finding info about it on their website, thanks!
I believe that if you get accepted and haven’t finished the prerecs then you’ll have to send a 2019 fall or 2020 spring when accepted
There’s a hotel on campus
This is a hotel thats walking distance to campus. It’s cheep but not the fanciest. Id see about the shuttles to campus. The drive from the Indy airport to Purdue is about an hour and 15 minutes. The Chicago airport is about the same distance from Purdue as the Indy one. The vet school it’s self is like a 15- 20 minute walk from this hotel. Sonce you don’t know campus it’d probably be best to get an Uber to the vet school it’s self from here.
Heres the official campus endorsed hotels. Call them to find out about airport shuttle info. There are usally shuttles to Indy and Chicago airports.
Visitor Information

Someone please correct me if I am wrong! I read on one of the threads from a previous year that you are interviewed by 2 people for 30 minutes. One person has seen your application. The other person has not. It's somewhat conversational.

Congratulations on your interview offers! I cannot remember exactly how long the interview was, but I was interviewed by two people. The interview format is standard, not a multiple mini interview. Purdue is looking for about 40 out-of-state students. My initial class size was 84, and it seemed like half of us were out-of-state students. I do not know/remember how many people were offered interviews. With regards to what degree the interview affects acceptance, I think the best mindset to have is that everyone that has been offered an interview is on the same level. In other words, after you have been offered an interview, your acceptance then depends on your interview (don’t let this make you nervous!). Many of the schools I interviewed with explicitly said this (again, I cannot remember if Purdue was one).
The interview itself was actually quite enjoyable. You will be told many times that your interviewers “just want to have a conversation with you” and I think that was very accurate. I was not asked any specific questions about my resume or experiences. I can’t remember many of the questions from the interview (partly due to the fact that it was really just a conversation). I believe I was asked what my biggest weakness is. I have no idea if you will be asked this but I would encourage you to have an answer that is unique to you! They truly will just be trying to get to know you, so try to relax and have fun with it!
I suppose I should add that many of classmates’ interviews were not as enjoyable for them as it was for me. Some of the faculty are less smiley/outgoing than others, but don’t let this deter you.
The last thing I would add (and I know this is easier said than done) is to be yourself in the interview. Your interviewers are not looking for certain qualifications, personalities, or experiences. My class is incredibly diverse, and if there is a rubric that the admission faculty are using, it’s hard to see what criteria they are looking at. Good luck!

Anyone have an idea what is the room assignment about after you are done with the interview?

Hi everyone! I am a first time IS applicant! This will be my first time interviewing with Purdue and I am so excited as well as nervous! I was wondering if there are any current Purdue Vet students who could tell us some of the questions you were asked during your interview? For example, did they ask about current hot topics in vet med or legislation? Trying to get a sense of what types of questions I should be preparing for. Thanks in advance!
I didn't know these existed!!
I didn't know these existed!!
I didn't know they existed until last month. It really isn't well advertised! 😱
The university is very lovely and beautiful. 🙂 When will we hear back?
I did some thread-stalking just now, and it looks like the dean will personally call all accepted applicants throughout the second week of February. Waitlist/rejection emails are sent soon after that.
Yeah they said committee will meet mid February so makes sense
My guess is next week because they said the committee would be meeting mid Feb. But I would love if they did. Can't come soon enough
My tour guide this year said that they normally call the week of the 14th. She got the call on that day last year so I'm having my fingers crossed that this will be the week.

They call throughout the day. They will probably start next week. If they were going to start this week they would of already. I think they’ll start as early as the weekend or on Monday.
I was just thinking that. I wasn't sure if they would start calls on the Friday and then have to wait until Monday

It looks like in the past calls have continued through the weekend, so maybe they'll start tomorrow....I hope
