Yah mine were too, not sure what magic they work over there.
I'm hopeful for mine now, since Iowa's calculation was pretty terrible. Have you submitted your supp already, or are they calculating everyone's?
To give y'all hope for vet school, here is my rave:
Some of my professors (actually MOST of them) are AMAZING! They are sincere and helpful and will go out of their way to help you!
I am at VMRCVM, and I want to give a huge shout-out to the following professors:
Dr. Bonnie Smith, who remembers what it's like to be a vet student and takes pity on us, but who also will take time from her busy schedule to tutor anyone, even on her lunch or out at her home on the weekends (plus her pack of dogs are great fun). She is super enthusiastic about her topics, and there is NEVER a dull moment.
Dr. Lee, who has had to deal with immense family/personal issues, but still made it back to teach us a section, and who was always great to talk with and offer down-to-earth explanations of his topics.
Dr. Eng, who has scheduled a biochem review for us at the end of every week this semester, and is great about correlating the biochem to the anatomy topics that h also teaches/assists with. Plus, who can beat a middle-aged Asian man getting dressed up like a cowboy just to remind us that the external abdominal obliques are directed caudo-ventrally?!
Dr. Caceci, our "mad" histology professor, who is the nicest cranky old man you could want, who has a fascination for anything under a microscope and tells some of the most quotable one-liners during class. Super easy to contact via email, records his own lectures so if you miss them you can listen to them later, and provides us with awesome computer resources like "Webslide enterprise" and virtual copies of our slide boxes!
I could go on, but you get the point! These professors CARE about how we do, and are invested in incorporating us into the veterinary profession. And I LOVE them!
Thank you for posting this. VMRCVM is my first choice (IS) and it's really encouraging to hear good things about the professors, especially after I begin to doubt myself reading the "class of 2014" thread
My rant is that I finished my UPEI supplemental today. Printing/mailing it tomorrow!
Had my first IHSA show of the season! Had a good draw, got a fourth place, and my coach asked me to be on the point squad! =)
There are several theories about dreams, one of them being that the brain sorts through information from the period you were awake and discards the information you don't need in the form of a dream (nerve firings). Maybe that's how you figure out stuff in your dreams?..

No wonder why I could never get really decent grades on ochem exams...I used to dream about chemical reactions every night and that was my brain discarding the "useless information" right before the exam.
Nautilus is my favorite sea creature! I don't think that would work for me. Spiders, maybe?
I had a really awesome lesson on a pretty difficult horse today. Really gave my confidence a boost =)
I have crazy dreams every night. I dreamed one night that the seventh level of hell is full of nautilus.
Not bad! The green vest is a good find!
Better practice the "why so serious?" face!
i rocked the GREs this morning!!
730 quant, 620 verbal. my quant score was 10 points higher than my best practice test!
oh man i am so incredibly relieved that the GRE is over. time to go celebrate in toronto this weekend!
Managed to study a little bit tonight, and even though I have tons more I could (and should) be doing, I'm going to bed! I have an awesome weekend ahead, too - necropsies tomorrow morning, vet school Halloween party tomorrow night, dinner with a friend on Sunday, and some studying mixed in there. I also am super-excited to have the boy down here next weekend, and I'm totally surprising him with a trip to the Outer Banks (for his upcoming birthday) as soon as I'm done with class on Friday. I'll just push him into the car, and we'll be off. Already booked the B&B and the wildlife jeep tour, and I'm working on figuring out the best roadside diners/holes in the wall to try out!
And all of this is allowing me to mostly ignore the fact that finals are in about three weeks...awesome.
