I interviewed with Jeanne a couple weeks back! She was absolutely wonderful, I have nothing but good things to say about my interview. Like you've heard, it was very conversational (which is always a plus) we talked about my experiences at the University of Delaware for a bit as she knows plenty of Blue Hens who went to Ross, spoke about some grades briefly, spent a decent amount of time talking about my job as an RA and as a vet assistant/tech but overall it was great. Make sure you have a few questions prepared - they left about 10-15 minutes for us to ask questions; be sure to check out the YouTube of the virtual tour of Ross's facilities.
Feel free to pm me if you have any other questions!
When they ask about grades, do they ask specifics about your grades or just in general? I’ve noticed people saying grades and I’ve never really had an interview yet where they specifically asked about that

Just finished my interview! I think it went well? The interviewer was very nice and asked about ALL of my experiences. Almost no mention of my grades.

Ahh I am so happy you guys had good experiences. I scheduled mine for two weeks from now and I am nervous since its my first interview but Jeanne seems super nice and laidback. For those who had questions about experiences, was it more like what did you learn or asking specific details like what you did, etc. Congrats everyone though, I hope we all get those A's!
It was mostly like what I took away from the experience and what it added to my journey in vet med, so it was easy to talk about 🙂
When did you guys submit your applications? Was it through VMCAS or the Ross portal?
I was asked about specific courses. I failed calculus the first time I took the class so I went into detail about that class and how I redeemed myself when I retook it. I'm also retaking organic chemistry at a local school back home so they asked why I took it after I finished undergrad and at a different university.
My grades were a bit all over the place, I have always struggled with taking exams (woohoo test anxiety) so some courses had lower grades compared to others (bio 1 vs bio 2, a music class) it was very casual and gave me the time to explain some situations and how I was able to overcome it.
It was a bit mixed for my interview. I had a new ross admissions hire sit in on my interview - she was super sweet. I was asked to explain about the pre-vet program at the university of delaware and the experiences we were given with having a farm on campus. They also asked about my resident assistant position quite a bit and about my current position as a technician at a small animal hospital, more so about what I was able to do and what the jobs/experiences taught me.
I submitted August 30th through VMCAS.
Got the phone call yesterday, I was accepted for May 2022!! I am so so excited, waiting to hear from my in state school before making an official decision but I still cannot believe it
They call you? When did you interview? I have an interview Thursday for September so I’m just trying tk get a timeline idea 😂
I interviewed this Thursday and they told me they would call me with a decision within 2-4 weeks!
Yup! I interviewed on September 3rd and heard back on the 17th - 2 weeks exactly. They originally told me I would'nt hear back until early October so I was shocked getting the phone call.
Does the call come from the New York office who is always calling me??

I got my call from Jeanne personally, I believe whoever interviews you is the person to call you
I haven't gotten my welcome package yet for January 2022 but I was wondering how we sign up for on campus housing? I don't know if the welcome package goes over that but I am trying to figure everything out as much as I can in advance.
I submitted my VMCAS on Sept 10th and haven’t heard that it was even received by Ross. Anyone else have this situation?
I called Justin about this not too long ago and he said we haven't gotten any info because they haven't decided whether spring 2022 will be online. He said they will make a decision by mid/late October and that's when they will give us info for housing, plane tickets, etc.
This is a very specific question but has anyone had experience copying over all of the apps and pre-loaded stuff from the issued iPad to a newer one? I got an apple pencil 2 as a gift and it's incompatible with the one that the school issues us. The apps are not available in the app store but I can't see why I can't copy over all the data to a newer iPad just like when you get a new iPhone? I wanted to trade in the issued iPad to upgrade to a newer one so I can use my Apple pencil with it. Has anyone had any experience with this?

I just got a “thanks for submitting” email!
I interviewed two weeks ago today and I'm anxiously awaiting a call... I know they said 2-4 weeks but I can't help but feel anxiety

It’s been one week for me and I keep thinking that. I’d also rather just get an email cause im terrified to answer the phone for decision
Me too! I leave my phone ringer on at work so I don't accidentally miss it 😵
I want to but I have so many other notifications that come through. My luck is but answer it while in with a patient 😂😂🤷🏼♀️

Last week I got an email verification that they had received my application, and it has a link to where I can monitor the status of my application. The link didn't work so I removed a few letters from the URL to see if anything would come up, and it took me to an application status checklist for their medical school, not veterinary school. Anybody else having this issue?
I had to email and ask for them to send me the link.
For some reason my checklist says "incomplete" at the top, even though there is a check mark for every item, I'm not sure why.
When did you interview??
I interviewed 9/16 🙂
Just got a call (right now) I was accepted for the Fall 🥰 So happy
I just looked back to see when 😂 definitely have my phone off do not disturb at work for once AGH
My Apple Watch lit up and I ran to the back to answer it LOL
I'm terrified to answer it if the call comes when I'm at work! I was talking to the one vet today and she was like "You can answer or let it go to voicemail and mentally prepare to answer or use the voice to text to see what it says" and I was like please no, I'm terrified, tomorrow is 2 weeks since and I'm supposed to be off but I took someone's shift and I was prepared to sit at home and stare at my phone in fear haahhaah
It's definitely nerve wracking I totally get it! Tomorrow would have been three weeks since my interview. Now I get to obsess about all the other schools I applied to... Best of luck! Let us know 😀
Thank you! I’m just nervous and hoping for the best, she said she saw it mostly being an acceptance into the vet prep program, but I’ll take it. But I already have a third interview scheduled (finally a school in the country) so I’m feeling better this cycle than past

Got my acceptance today! I interviewed last week so it was definitely a shock since she said to give them 6 weeks for a decision. So relieved to know that I am going somewhere, now just a waiting game for the other schools I applied too!

Ok now I’m more nervous with my wait…..
Good for you… 3 interviews already. I’ve only had one
Three application cycles later 🙄 but thank you! Best of luck! It’s a long and stressful process!
They emailed me around 1pm asking a good time to call about the decision and I told them any time and they called me 5 minutes later with my acceptance 🙂
