Ross Interview 2017

Veterinary Science Graduate Certificate from UofI
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi everyone! Congratulations to those of you who have been accepted! I applied for Fall 2018, interviewed on 9/21, and was told by my interviewer that I would hear back in a month. My status still says "Committee review," and I'm starting to get nervous. Is anyone else in the same boat?

I was interviewed on 10/9 and I was told by my interviewer that I would hear back in 4 weeks. Its been exactly 4 weeks and I haven't heard back either. I am very anxious and nervous as well.

Hey! Before hurricane Maria, school held a "town hall" type meeting to let us students voice our concerns and ease or minds. All of the buildings on campus are built to withstand category 5 hurricanes, so many of the students who live off campus came and stayed in the lecture halls etc. The school did not want anyone to be in a dorm by themselves, so they really tried to get all of us to find a buddy to stay with for the night. I ended being in a single occupancy dorm with 7 other people... which was less than ideal lol. But the dorms are very sturdy, some people slept all the way through the storm.

Thanks for the info! Will definitely put that into consideration as I decide between schools.
 
I just had my skype interview and it was really relaxed and it felt like a conversation. She told me I should hear back in two weeks

How did you find out you were accepted? Was it a phone call?

My interviewer called me yesterday! She said that it will take a while for the email and letter of acceptance to reach me because I have applied for Fall 2018, so she told me not to panic about that. My portal hasn't been updated either; it still says "committee review." I finished my VMCAS application on 8/22 and interviewed on 9/21. My interviewer had said I'd hear back in a month and it clearly took longer than that, but that's probably because I applied for Fall 2018. Good luck, everyone!

Congratulations!!! :D Did you apply any where else?

Thanks for keeping us updated!
 
Has anyone else still not heard back regarding an interview? I guess it’s good that I haven’t been rejected yet but I’m starting to get worried!!

Thank you! I applied to four other schools, all in the US; so far I've heard back UC Davis only (rejected, but that was expected). Tufts and Colorado State have processed my application.

If you're applying for Fall 2018, don't be too stressed out if Ross isn't getting back to you quickly. But if you are concerned, email your interviewer!

When was your application processed? And if you're applying for the Fall 2018 cycle, I wouldn't worry too much, since the focus is currently on the January and May semesters.

I’m applying for fall 2018, but the thing is I haven’t even been contacted for an interview yet. Luckily I have interviewed with St. George’s and Midwestern already and I have my PEI interview next week, but Ross is a school I’m highly interested in.

Has your application been processed? If all the green checks are there, you can contact Laura Coleman ([email protected]) for an update.

Hey all! I am in my first semester at Ross right now and would love to answer any questions that you might have. I can even answer some questions regarding hurricanes ;)

The most important matter.
How much will a person owe after graduation (cost of tuition etc plus cost of living etc)?
Thanks

This is definitely something you need to research before deciding to go to vet school! I will be a minimum of $250,000 in debt after going through this.

You got an email for an interview 30 minutes after they verified your app?

I didn't use VCMAS, I just used Ross' application. I got an email for an interview 30 minutes after the email confirming my app was complete.
 
I feel like I have been waiting for forever! I received the email regarding the checklist and how that is the way to check our application status. I received that email in October and there have been no check marks filled. Is anyone else in this position?

I'm in the exact same boat, no check marks still

I received my confirmation email on October 19th! Did you receive yours around the same time?

Just to ease your worries a little, I got my confirmation email on 9/19, but had no check marks until 10/20 when I received another email saying my application was processed. The interview invite then came on 11/8. I think you're totally fine still! :)

I got my confirmation on 10/10, I just am worried because it's been over a month, however I understand they are trying to get everything situated for spring and winter first.

Sorry for the dumb question guys, but I applied via VMCAs and can't figure out how to access any sort of portal for Ross!

Also..submitted my app on 9/1 and have not heard back about an interview :( Although I've spoken to multiple admissions officers in person and they've done folder reviews and assured me that I was a good candidate and would get an interview offer very soon, I still haven't seen anything.

Hopes up peeps :)

To access their portal they send you the link for it in an email. My portal link was in the email confirming they got my VMCAS info. I submitted my app on 9/7 and on 9/19 I got the portal email and I didn’t hear about an interview until the end of October. Hang in there!

I submitted my application via Vmcas on 09/01 and i got the confirmation on 09/11 (Portal email). I got all the green check marks on 10/05 and got an interview on 10/09. My interviewer told me i would hear back in 4 weeks and its going to be almost 2 months. I still haven't heard back and i am really worried. Is anybody in the same boat????

2 months??? Good grief...

I was a little impatient as far as hearing back from my interviewer so I emailed him because I had a "question" on the application process. ;) I never did hear back from him; but, I got an email a few days later from Ross with the acceptance greeting.

I can't promise the same outcome but maybe you could email your interviewer about a "question" you may have. Just to send a gentle reminder :p

Keep us updated!
