I am so excited to know that I have secured a spot in the c/o 2016. In order to matriculate, I must finish my prerequisites, finish my BS, and keep at least a 3.2. For more info on MSU's Veterinary Scholars Admission Pathway: http://cvm.msu.edu/student-information/dvm-program-admissions/veterinary-scholars-admission-pathway
Most of my awards and honors were from high school because I graduated in the class of 2009. I came to MSU with 23 AP credits and took 4 at a community college, totaling to 27, which put me at sophmore status when I enrolled last fall. Therefore, I am graduating with a BS in 3 years and only had 34 credits that counted toward my GPA when I applied (AP credits don't count towards GPA).

Woot!

Wow! Congratulations on getting in so quickly and being the first official SDN accepted student! Good luck at MSU!

Congrats. Good thing you aren't starting this year, give you some time to get to the drinking age, a key qualification for grad school.

[goldnretrivrgrl]

Congrats! That's so amazing! I'm jealous that you already know where you're going and can relax (a little) between now and then

To distract myself from checking my e-mail and various staus pages a million times a day, I'm stalking SDN....has anyone else who has been accepted be willing to share their stats?

Pssst... there is a typo in the title.

Pssst... there is a typo in the title.

I guess we can't always be "successfull"

Yes, and I made a note of it in TT's class of 2015 thread. I will probably remake this thread since I don't have the ability to edit thread titles.

 

[twelvetigers]

I dunno if a moderator could fix it or not...

Also, I dunno about how things will go this year, but generally people don't post their stats until they have answers back from all the schools. It's kinda bad juju otherwise, or something. So I wouldn't expect a lot of activity here until February, March, or April.

New thread made with edited title. Please don't respond to this thread, but to the "successful applicant stats c/o 2015" thread.

Psilovethomas, you're a bad bad horrible overachiever! But congrats for getting accepted early! If I'd had that kind of drive at 19, I'd be graduated and starting into practice right now. ><

I don't think I am an overachiever. I know that veterinary medicine is what I want to do after undergrad, so I secured my spot as early as possible so I didn't have to fret my junior and senior years.
