YAYYYYYY!!!
Yeah. Things just aren't working out how we planned, that's all. Always a silver lining though - at least we're not 12 hours apart like we were when I was in undergrad.
And even if he does get the job and it's long distance, it'll only be temporary.
Will it?
My wife is currently trying to find her first job post school and babies. And having a really tough time. Getting some time and experience in a bigger (better?) engineering market in Florida may open some doors later on for a move closer to your school.Will it?
Idk. The goal posts keep moving. It was supposed to only be undergrad. Then it was supposed to just be a couple months into my first semester of vet school. Now, who knows.
Is there no jobs for him by your school?Will it?

Apparently not, at least not right now. He's still looking but...no responses so far.
Yeah, that's the idea, and why he started looking in FL. He's going to be taking some extra certification exam sometime in the next few months so hopefully that will help too.
I don't think he's tried that yet, I'll have to suggest it
Headhunter just sounds like a bounty hunter to me haha
Sounds like Boba Fett is going to get Mr Z a job
@SandstormDVM, you are not a "failure" so kindly try to erase that pesky word from your vocabulary, okay?
Sorry @WildZooI really feel your pain. This is the third round of long distance for us, the first two were only three or so months, but it sucks. Like you said to me yesterday when I was complaining about the same thing, I'm always here if you need an ear.
This is my fear as well. My boyfriend only has ~2 semesters left of undergrad, but then he'll be looking at grad school and who knows where he'll get accepted. Best case scenario he'll come to K-State, but he doesn't particularly want to live in Kansas. So if he gets into a PhD program somewhere else, we may not be able to live together even once I graduate, because who knows where I'll be able to find a job. There's just so many variables.Will it?

But we made it though a semester of him being in China pretty well, I only had like 2 breakdowns, so I guess I'm optimistic. At least for the next couple semesters we'll only be five hours apart, and in the same time zone!
Thanks. The higher ups are trying to help, but it's really frustrating for me. Every time I feel like I'm making progress, they find something to slap me back down with.
apparently it's an ongoing issue so I sent in a support ticket, because damned if i won't fight for a virtual pet account I've had since 2002
Everyone makes mistakes....it's how you learn from your mistakes (or learn from the mistakes of others) that sets you apart. Just do your best for your patients, ask for help when needed, and keep learning every day.
it's only 1 application cycle and most schools will take into account your schedule. It's hard to apply to vet med, but the average is like 2-3 application cycles.
I'm in the same boat as you: 3 rejections, still waiting on 3 schools (one being Ross where I would probably decline an offer and take a gap year). You said in another forum that you go to Cornell, right? I'm there right now also and totally understand the pressure of feeling like you have to go to vet school right away. Tbh, I really didn't want to take a gap year at first, but now I'm not sure why I was so against it. It will actually be really helpful to get more hours, save money, and possibly retake classes and the GRE! Just do file reviews at your schools and make a plan to improve your application for the next cycle. If you want to stay in the Ithaca area, there are tons of opportunities to gain experience that are paid! I'm currently a veterinary assistant at a SA practice about 20 min away, and I have also worked at the equestrian center right off campus. But hey, you still have some hope for this cycle too 🙂 Moral of the story is don't give up. I know it's hard... I'm having trouble right now also, but we'll end up where we're supposed to be eventually!
I also went to Cornell undergrad. I took 2 gap years. It was the best decision ever. Don't feel pressured to go right away, make some money, get some experience, go some place new!
So sorry to hear, but at least they'll be joining the c/o 2021. It looks like we may have lost 3 according to our updated class roster... no idea if they're due to personal/health reasons or academics but apparently gaining readmission here is a PITA of a process so who knows if any of them are going to bother trying for it. 🙁
Are you in my undergrad dorm? 😉
