I interviewed on November 1st and heard back this week. It could be that you'll be in the next cycle of decisions if you haven't heard anything. I was waitlist for August 2022 and accepted for Jan 2023 as they said their August class is full already.
I'm still waiting to hear from US schools. I would imagine the waitlist will move more closer to April.
I went to their webinar and they mentioned that you choose your top 3 preferred locations and almost everyone will typically get their first pick.
So you get to pick 4 schools that you want to go to clinics at in order from highest priority that you want. SGU provides a list of all of the schools that they have contracts with to do clinical year at and have the GPA requirements along with how each school has clinics structured. They have never had any students not be able to get placed. They will find a school to take you (may not be your first choice depending on things). Your GPA pretty much will determine which schools you are able to choose from. Each clinical year school allows a certain amount of students each semester (changes every semester) and depending on how many other people pick specific schools/their GPA's will depend on if you get your top choice. Most people get either their first or second choice. You have clinical year school presentations 2-3 times during your whole time at SGU, so they'll go over everything with you. Nothing really to stress about! They make the process super easy.
I’m waiting for Ohio before putting down the deposit
In all honesty, you have until whatever the date is to decide, unless you get accepted into your top choice there’s no point not waiting to put a deposit down and hold out for other offers ESPECIALLY a school like SGU because that is a HUGE move
I'm not too worried about the move, but agree that if you aren't sold on SGU to wait. But for me, if I get rejected from Ohio I would be comparing LMU, UofA and SGU together. Out of those (for right now) I rank SGU more highly for their partnerships with teaching hospitals, the Global Vet Health Track, and their research professors. But overall the main idea is that if you decide to go to SGU you should go with the intent that you can be happy living far from home, and on an island that will be your next 4 years of education instead of going with the intent to transfer.
I would love SGU solely for the global vet health track but my acceptance there is through the foundations program so that’s a big factor for me that outweighs that. I only care about the distance and how to get there because of my animals not being far from home
Students from AVMA accredited schools only have to take the NAVLE, no additional testing. SGU is accredited so graduates from SGU do not have to take the ECFVG.
GOT ACCEPTED! Follow me on Insta I’ll be posting more in the future in regards to vet school!
Still waiting for a reply from my in state school and one other before deciding. I hate not knowing already 😂.
I am waiting on one OOS but the waiting game is killing me.
I believe you send an email to the vet admissions email
Thank you! I was thinking about it and wasn’t sure wHat to do for them. I know some schools sent a link to people to fill out if they weren’t interested
I was told that the waitlist is unranked and when a seat becomes available it is chosen at the discretion of the selection committee.
Yeah they don't make it very clear, which is a huge turn-off from the school. Ross, on the flip side, has been incredible and sent tons of emails about next-steps and whatnot. When I emailed SGU regarding the deposit, they told me something different than what was on the acceptance letter. I was told that regardless of whether I want to "stay" on the Aug waitlist (I did not know I was already on it... I haven't put down a deposit at all) or remain in the January class (I was accepted for the Jan class), I would not have to pay a deposit until April 15th. From what I understood from the acceptance letter, a deposit is supposed to be put down if we want to be put on the Aug waitlist, otherwise we remain in the Jan class. So... yeah, I'm not sure, but I am a-ok starting in Jan and am still waiting for some state schools to send their decisions, so I'm not super concerned about it yet haha. Would be nice to know though.
I think you should email them, it should not cause any harm.
I’m a current SGU student and would be happy to talk. I sent you a message 🙂
I'm a current SGU student in clinical year. Feel free to message me, I'd be happy to answer any questions!
