Does anybody know if they call if you are taken off the waitlist, or is it an email
 
Can any current students speak on the anatomy labs/ in person material vs. online material? I'm really looking for a vet school that is trying hard to give students this in person chance to learn. I am considering declining my IS seat at OSU for Purdue as I think Purdue has advertised more in person learning.
Does anyone have any thoughts? I am also still considering Cornell (but big $$).

Someone from one of the other years might be able to give better information about the actual anatomy in class/online material and how that's working, but I do know that Purdue currently is looking to "de-dedensify" next semester and we've been told that more classes will likely be in person. Since anatomy labs are already (mostly) in person now, I imagine it'll be even more in-person in the next few semesters.

Last semester almost everything for us first years were in person. Anatomy lab is split into 2 halves. It was a little trial and error at first, but the first semester anatomy professor is great and took our suggestions and actually made it work to give us more hands on experience. The amount of material that is needed to be covered this semester couldn't be budged, so half do one lab, and half of our group does the next lab. It's a little more challenging but my class has been super helpful with posting material to our shared drive for anatomy such as videos of disections and etc.
All of our veterinary skills labs are in person as well.
And the goal is to always plan the next semester as "normal" until the University tells them the restrictions. Purdue does a really great job of trying to get as much as they can in person, imo.
I have no idea what cornells plans are but as someone from NY, I know the states regulations are a lot tighter than Indiana

Not sure if this has been answered yet, but do any current students have the specs for the computer that you have to get through the school?

It's a specific computer that you have to buy through Purdue. Exact model is decided at a later date and tends to change very slightly between years. Generally it's been a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga but beyond that it's pretty unknown until they send you the info directly.

Anyone start to look at housing? A lot of the really good places are filling up!
 
Does it matter if the postal address below my name in the acceptance email is wrong? The address itself is correct but the state isn’t. Should I be worried? Or does Purdue send all of their materials through email?

I have a groupme going with a couple of people I know have already accepted (I am in state and currently a Purdue undergrad). If anyone has accepted and is interested in getting in touch with people sooner rather than later, feel free to message me on here and I will connect you to the group

Question fir the current students: what are scholarship opportunities like for 2-4 yr students, especially merit based ones? Some schools (such as Davis and Cornell that I know of, possibly more) actively work on scholarship for the students so that each student can expect to get about 6-7k per year from various funding sources. Is there a similar prospect for Purdue students? Any input will be much appreciated!

Is anyone here declining their IS seat? We don't have numbers but I think it would give a general idea of how much it'll move
 
Are they going to send formal mail acceptances with more info about the program or only the email?

They usually mail an acceptance letter which is really just the letter saying - congrats, you got in.

The email they send out will have the majority of the info in it. Eventually, you will get more emails about orientation, laptops, etc. after accepting.
 
I will be pulling my name from the waitlist so best of luck to everyone 💕💕
 
Does anyone know when the further zoom info sessions will be? Possibly (hopefully) before the April 15th dealine?

They sent an email with the 1,2,3,4th year student Q&A's and the ones with the other department heads etc too. They're private youtube links
 
Did anyone get the email about financial aid awards? I did but I have no idea what my "Purdue career account" log in is? I'm not sure if it is something from VMCAS or the application status page. Did I miss something

You have to set up the account. You need to use the PUID financial aid sent. They told me last year that the temporary password I needed was in my admissions letter but I honestly don't remember if that was the case.

Thank you so much!
 
IS waitlisted, trying to be hopeful that a spot opens up!
 
This is a totally random question, and I really hope it's not offensive to any horse owners/lovers if it happens to be stupid....

I've been dreaming of learning to ride a horse since a little girl, but I've spent my whole life in big cities. Are there horseback riding experiences available in vet school for beginners? I know some students bring their own horses, so I imagine there are stables near the vet school? Can somebody share some experience at that? Thank you!!!

You MIGHT be able to get involved with the undergraduate IHSA program if they allow grad students to be involved in their club. Otherwise, you can just research the area and find a place to take lessons at!

I emailed Lori a few days ago about the additional Zoom sessions for admitted students and she indicated that we should be getting an email today about them! Keep an eye on your emails :)
