Purdue c/o 2025 Applicants

[amsweeney]

I'm surprised. Purdue is very proud of it

I knew there was a tuition freeze but I thought it was in a year to year basis. Didn't realize it was until the 23 school year!

It is decided year-to-year technically, but they try to keep a couple of years ahead of the current year.

Are you IS or OOS?

 

[cheathac]

I want to say at some point I heard a potential 30% caseload increase? Don't hold me to that number; it was very early on and likely has changed.

I sure hope they hire 30% more people to deal with that then.......

 

[futuredogtoraddie]

Does anyone know if they are still calling in state students?

 

[Amanasoul]

I sure hope they hire 30% more people to deal with that then.......

I might've said the same thing to Dr. W a year ago...

It could have actually been a statement saying there was an expected need for 30% more staff members (so supposedly there are plans to hire more but we'll see)

I'll believe it when I see it (just a sassy 4th year ready to fly the coop lol)

Hmmmm...is there a staff shortage in VTH that's causing inconvenience? Like a supporting staff shortage, or lack of doctors?

 

[cheathac]

Mainly support staff I would say but there has been quite a few faculty/staff that have left recently as well. I'm sure it's been hard because of COVID but yeah they definitely need more support staff..especially in the large animal hospital.

Dude idk... I am IS as well.

Eeesh, tech shortage makes everybody miserable!! But hey, does this mean we have a good chance of part-time employment at VTH?

I know they were hiring part time student workers in the hospital who were 1-3rd years I believe? I saw them a lot last summer but not much since due to business of classes, etc but I hope they keep that up. There are other opportunities as well in the clin path lab and radiology too possibly. Please feel free to message me if you have further questions!

 

[Viscernable]

OOS acceptance!

 

[PomPomeranian]

Are you IS or OOS?

OOS

 

[wzue542]

OOS acceptance!

Congrats! Did you just now hear??

 

[LaineyLou]

OOS acceptance!

Congrats! Are you committing to Purdue?

 

[Viscernable]

Need to think about it but I’m leaning towards Cornell

 

[Viscernable]

Yeah the call quite a surprise, coming in the middle of a zoom call when I thought the calls were done by yesterday.

 

[amsweeney]

If I had to chose a school I would chose Purdue, but if I had to choose the 2 states to live in, NY wins by a landslide. It's beautiful, ithica especially

Both seem lovely! But for me the pros/cons list right now is:

Cornell pros/Purdue cons:
- Ithaca is a small town in a rural area (I truly hate city life plus I want to go into rural, mostly production animal med and this gives more ambulatory farm med opportunities)
- seems like there is much more focus on/opportunity to learn about One Health/how we can contribute to sustainability and environmental health. My main disappointment looking at Purdue's curriculum is that there seems to be VERY little environmental health emphasis
- lots of parasitology research and electives ("distribution courses")
- more interesting electives in general, especially 1st and 2nd year
- more student orgs that really appeal to me - I'm very interested in community service, production animal, parasitology, wildlife/exotic (not going into wildlife/zoo med but I love wildlife and esp herps ), welfare, and sustainability (Southside community clinic, guiding eyes for the Blind, pet loss support hotline, AABP, AASRP, AAVP, zoo and wildlife society, animal behaviour club, society for veterinary pain management, nutritional opportunities in veterinary medicine, One Health, and sustainability club at Cornell vs food animal club, exotic club, pets for people, and One Health club at Purdue)
- closer to family (not a lot, but a 15 hour drive from Cornell is feasible while I don't see myself driving 25 hours so I'd have to fly from Purdue)
- Cornell has really incredible facilities/resources/programs and opportunities to get involved in them as a student e.g. teaching dairy barn is huge, beautiful, aimed at not just vet student education but public education as well, VERY close to rest of campus, hires many vet students for animal care with flexible hours
- soooo much research going on at Cornell, both internal to the vet school and collaborative between the vet school and other faculties
- the rest of Cornell campus is beautiful and of course there is so much amazing research going on in other faculties. I really want to see the botanical gardens and arboretum and visiting the lab of ornithology would be a dream come true.
- small + large animal hospital, small animal community practice, teaching dairy barn, vet classrooms, and the non-vet campus all right next to each other, and the equine park very close-by

Purdue pros/Cornell cons
- 70 000 DOLL HAIRS IS NOT CHUMP CHANGE
- I've had a lot more opportunity to learn about Cornell from the info sessions so I don't know much about Purdue's resources, opportunities, and new facilities

i thought the price difference between Cornell and Purdue was ~$47,000? Still huge but slightly less huge haha

Thank you! Congratulations to you, too, on the Cornell acceptance! It was very cool meeting you at the production animal info session last night . And wow, it's great that you got to have a look around Ithaca and see the ornithology lab already, so exciting!

I'm going by VIN, which estimates Cornell 4 years CoA at $317 000 and Purdue at $248 000

 

[Amanasoul]

Truly, each school is what you make of it. Personally, I'm the same as a majority of the other people you'll find here on the boards--I am a huge proponent of going where it's cheapest because truly...it's veterinary school and (a short) four years of your life. You're there for a few years and you'll be surprised at how little time you have to search out more to do sometimes. It's nothing like undergrad imho.

I'm not here to change anyone's mind. I just wanted say that you can get many of these experiences at Purdue as well. You do need to have an active role to get some of those experiences, but they do exist.

Sincerely, a third year who just had her managing veterinary debt business class yesterday

 

[willa0622]

ohh I was going by the OOS tuition rates from each school's website, not including cost of living and other expenses. Maybe that's where the difference came from

 

[Amanasoul]

I do think VIN calculates CoL differences? If there's one good thing about Indiana, it's the cheap living

Anyone else getting super anxious about not having an email yet with our acceptance info? All I wanna do is accept my spot and put my down payment down so everything is done!

I didn’t know a down payment was a thing, do you know how much it is?

 

[erineelm]

Is there a Facebook group for accepted students yet? If there is, can someone post the link to it, or will we get a link in our acceptance email?

Down payments are a thing for every school I’m pretty sure, but I guess I could be wrong! I just wanna secure my seat. Usually it’s 500-1000 depending on the school.

 

[LaineyLou]

I don’t think so yet, I’m so excited I can’t even wait!!! I’m so excited to secure my seat and my housing!!! I wanna meet al my classmates too!

Got an OOS acceptance call yesterday, but I will be declining so hopefully one of you guys can get bumped off the waitlist!

I got the link when I accepted my seat, which I didn't do until Mid-March, so I don't how soon they open it up

 

[wzue542]

IS alternate. They said they will not disclose the place there. Really hoping it was just one list. Any IS alternates in the past get accepted, or was it more OOS? I feel like OOS rejects more often than IS
