My interview was really relaxed! My interviewer was a SGU grad and she was awesome. Brag about yourself!! That's really what the interview is all about, show them why you would be an awesome vet! Some basic questions were asked such as how you have done in a team setting, etc. so have some answered prepped. You can google basic veterinary interview questions, but don't over-prepare and just be yourself!
I have one mentor I always buy a bottle of scotch, I owe him two since covid started. And for Christmas I got my vet lor a magic wand for those difficult clients who want diagnosis without diagnostics and a coffee mug that says I can't fix stupid but I can sedate it. Guess it depends on the personality of your recommenders. I've also given maple syrup and jams as gifts for an easy "I don't know what you like" gift.
I got mine a nice coffee mug and a gift card!
No, when I emailed Krista last week she said in 2-4 weeks
I was also accepted into the AEP! It’s basically just extra resources to help you excel academically so no extra courses like the Foundation program! You start in the DVM program and just have some extra study tools and sessions at your disposal!
Congrats! The AEP just means that you have to attend 2 peer learning groups every week for 2 specific classes of your choice that you think you might want extra help in. I was in AEP and it is only for your first semester. So I chose anatomy and you have an upper term student going over things with you and 7 other people (they try to keep them in closed small groups). The other peer learning session is usually any other classes that you'd want extra study tips or have questions on material (this session is open to everyone, so usually has more people). I really enjoyed it because it was nice to have an upper term student going over the material and it makes you have that hour dedicated to studying for that class.
Thanks for more information! I appreciate any extra helpful resources especially in the dvm program!!
Awesome! Maybe we will be in some groups together! Congrats!
November 3
Did they say what number on the waitlist? Is there any chance for people to still start in August?
I’m 154
It kills me to look on SDN and APVMA Facebook page sometimes lol it’s hard seeing people get accepted to the same schools you were rejected from, especially when you have similar stats 🙃 this whole process is a crapshoot and I truly believe we all end up where we’re meant to be!
I’m still waiting to hear back, I interviewed Nov 3 as well.
I also wonder this too. I feel like most get accepted or waitlisted and I never hear about rejections
I haven’t put my deposit down yet but have made my SGU email. It was with one of my first acceptance letters
When did you interview?
October 21
Was it a link?
Yes! To the portal
There are no official updates about this yet. They previously told us they will give an update closer to May.
When did you interview?
I interviewed Nov 3, I’m sure you will get accepted, hang in there and don’t stress!
Thats my birthday!
If you google sgu svm tuition, one of the first results is the schools official website showing the tuition and other fees for every semester for veterinary medicine specific. The med school can have different prices because they are on island for 5 semesters instead of 6 like the vet students.
The school will send you an email closer to summer about filling out documents for loans and it will tell you how much the semester/year will cost. You can either request the full amount that they recommend or you can accept less if you don't think you'll need the full amount (which you usually don't need the full amount).
They will not be releasing any decisions until May on whether or not classes will be in person.
I am on the waitlist too, #50 . If I paid a spot for August does it roll over to Jan if I change my mind and wait for Jan?
I havent gotten my email yet and have paid a deposit, however I am on the waitlist for August so it may differ. ALso, came here to say that I love your profile pic! I have a herd of zebu cattle that I am obsessed with, theyre the sweetest souls!
Yeah it should roll over! According to Krista the deposit is based on when you applied anyways. So since we originally applied for August, our deposit will be valid for August or January
$400!
I was also on the waiting list for august but I actually emailed Krista and shifted my start date to the January 2022 start date so I’ll prob get my email info closer to the start of term! I love cattle of all different breeds but zebu specifically!!
