. I had originally requested to live in the residence halls for a single semester (instead of three semesters at a discounted price) because I thought I might have a better chance of finding a place outside of the RH for slightly cheaper. It turns out that's not really true. I have no idea where I was looking before. Especially since utilities cost $200 extra.
thanks for any and all input!

so happy about it. But I was wondering how can I get loans or grants or anything that could help me paying the university.
Hi. did you get an answer yet?Hi all! Just applied for the September 2014 class, and just wanted to see of anyone else on SDN will be applying or is already accepted for the Fall 2014 semester?
My boyfriend went to SMU and has been practicing in FL for almost 2 years now. I never thought I would be in a position to be applying to vet school outside of the states, but after being waitlisted for the 2nd year in a row, I'm seriously considering SMU.
So in this process you can go ECVFG or PAVE, it depends on where you want to practice. The PAVE is much cheaper but not every state accepts the PAVE. I will have to do some research on the steps,most people take the PAVE here, then their clinical year counts as the final part. You do not have to pass either test though to move on to clinics. I have spoken with some students who did not sit either test until after their clinical year, but you DO have to sit one of the two and PASS one of the two prior to sitting the National Boards. You apply for a clinical spot prior to 7th and they automatically place you. They try very hard to give you one of your top choices though not always possible depending on GPA, class size and other factors. You do not though have to sit around and wait for semesters to be placed, you will be placed prior to being in 7th so you will spend your last semester on island knowing where you are going =-). I can get you more information on the testing policies as I am not that well versed on them if you would like!I am a little worry about my clinicals. I understand that I have to go to the ECVFG process. But do I have to follow the 4 steps? and also If I do not pass these exam that allow me to work in USA, what will be next? Will I stay in the cayman island? or how does it work?.
and If I pass it, how accurate is that the universities in USA will accept me? Do I have to apply for my clinicals and wait until the university accept me? Because I am aware that some universities that accept ECVFG student sometimes do not have vacancy / available seats.
Please help me with this.. Thank you so much

i just had my interview a few weeks ago, very laid back and informal. be prepared to talk about yourself a lot and your feelings towards things in the veterinary field. my poor grades were not addressed at all. also, focus heavily on why you like smu and what makes you an asset to their program. when are you applying for? i am waiting on a decision for the january 2019 class
Hi! I was just accepted for May 2023 at st. Matthews! Did you end up going to school there? What did you use for finances? I’m struggling to find an institution to work with
