Yes!!!! I interviewed Oct 26th Omg so when I got the e-mail today I was in lab and it's FOUR HOURS LONG so I had to try to hold my excitement in....... It still really hasn't hit me yet that like IM GOING TO BECOME A VETERINARIAN NOW!!! Lol. I would love to go in the fall because that's my original plan but I am also a LVT so the extra months to work and get more experience is always great too! Congrats to you!!
Spring 2022? Does that mean January? Has anyone that interviewed in December or January received an acceptance?
I believe it is full with seats offered. I haven’t accepted my offer for fall 2021 yet as I am waiting to hear back from us schools first. I imagine there are lots of people in the same boat as me. I’m not sure how fast it will go, but once all the offers go out from us schools spots will definitely open up.
That’s awesome! Have you interviewed anywhere? I’m waiting to accept my fall seat as well. It’s my only acceptance (I’ve been rejected from the other schools already) just trying to figure out their new dogs airline rules and how to get 3 pups and a husband out to Grenada haha
I think dogs have to travel cargo. I have 2 dogs and a bird to take. I am looking into having a pet transport company arrange for the dogs. The bird is the tricky one for me since only Delta allows birds in the cabin. I am a little concerned about him traveling in cargo. I haven't been accepted yet and a little worried I haven't heard but I did just an interview in January. Crossing my fingers as my GPA is not super strong.
Unfortunately dogs can’t travel in the cargo to Grenada since the temps are too high year round. They are working around the clock to find a solution! I’m sure you’ll hear soon though, some people have interviewed earlier who are also still waiting. My GPA wasn’t strong either so stay hopeful 🙂
I haven’t heard yet interviewed November
haven't received anything. interviewed in October. they said I should have a decision within 2 weeks.
Usually the waitlist moves quickly (or at least when I was on the waitlist it did). How quickly it moves depends on how many of those people got accepted to other schools. There's a chance for the waitlist to move a lot towards the universal acceptance date and after the acceptance date as other people get off waitlists from other schools.
I would also check in with Krista on Grenada's policies regarding bringing in exotic animals because I think they may have more strict guidelines on bringing them to the island.
No. I received mine in an email and set it up already, but I haven't placed my deposit yet.
one behind me and I can tell you right now that I am not committed to anywhere yet! Waiting on 2 others 🙂I got the email today to say I was accepted but waitlisted for August 2021 haha apart from that, I am very happy to know that this time next year, one way or another, I will be in Vet School at SGU
For those interested, I am waitlisted at 152 lol
yes January i presume
yes January i presume
Did it come in a separate email from your acceptance email?
i did not receive my e-mail info yet but I did receive the student acceptance packet yesterday with my letter.
yea I got accepted in September but never got any information to set up my email
Yes. I got my acceptance email on 11/2 and another email for setting up my SGU email on 12/4.
oops i actually did get that email haha
I just got accepted as well and would like others opinions! It appears it’s just an additional semester? I feel 50/50 on it.
I was watching a YouTube video about it and the girl in it enjoyed it as it’s very similar to first semester material
I know someone that goes to SGU right now and she has classmates who did the VetPrepProgram before hand... as long as you keep above a 3.0 I believe, your semester in Vet Prep then the next semester you are automatically enrolled into the DVM program.
I think you have to pass an exam as well
Meema98: When did you interview?
I interviewed the end of October but I emailed krista two days ago because I hadn’t heard anything.
Awesome! So did you get into the prep program for August? I applied really late and not through VMCAS. Krista said I should hear in March since it takes 6-8 weeks. The wait is so difficult! I did not apply anywhere else.
Yes I got into the august prep program. Good luck! I hope you get in!
Me too! Hopefully, we will be classmates but I am a little concerned about the COVID restrictions and no pets being able to enter the country. I really hope that is not a problem come August.
From what I’ve heard the plan is to be in person in the fall! And they’re working on a solution for the pet transportation issue, I’m thankful that my parents are willing and able to keep my boy for me but that’s not an option for everyone!
The new student paperwork I received made it seem like it would not be difficult to bring your pets? And it sounds like they expect the campus to be open come fall.
Usually it's not difficult to bring pets to the island, but with the airlines changing ESA regulations it is now becoming difficult for people to find airlines willing to allow pets in the cabin. They are also really hoping to bring students back, but they also said that about last semester so it's just a waiting game for decisions between the school and Grenadian government. I'm interested to see if they allow all or only certain terms back since there are thousands of students that attend SGU between the vet, med, and undergraduate studies.
Yeah not an option for me 🙁. My dad is 74 and my mom is 71. I have 2 large dogs. They also can't handle my African Grey. I just hope they figure something out for big dogs.
Cats are usually easier to bring because they are able to be in a carrier under the seat in front of you. The only issue for you is that you have 3 cats, so depending on the airline they may allow 2 smaller cats to be in the same carrier. Other airlines might only allow one cat per carrier and also only one pet per person, so you may have to end up finding a third person to travel down with you in order to bring all 3 cats.
