I actually just need this cruel cycle to come to a mf end

I’m thankful I have 1 acceptance but the two I have left to hear from (tufts and Wisconsin) are top 2 and I would really love to get into one or both of them. And I have ZERO idea when I’m gonna hear from Wisconsin.

 

[graceless27]

I’m just annoyed bc wtf does “mid” february mean??? there’s only 28 days in february mid february is the 14th in my eyes

To me it's the 10th-20th (which is nearly over)

 

[chilledguava]

This might be niche, but is anyone in the same boat where this is their second time applying to tufts and their portal did not change again? Cause I’m gonna crash out low key.

Yes lmao

 

[justplainjane]

I guess we will all be rotating from this thread, our emails and portals for the next hour... lol

 

[graceless27]

no bc I fr have 3 schools left to hear from and they all said by the end of february. you’re telling me I could potentially have 3 rejections in 10 days?? that is POOR for my mental health

Same, I haven't gotten any acceptances yet and now I'm going to hear from the 2 schools left (including my IS) within a week this is horrible

I just wish for the amount of time money and effort we put it they could show us a bit of (crazy i know) respect back and give us a date that they’ll release decisions. Not just tufts but every schools acts as if us asking when we should hear back is such an insane inconvenience as if we all didn’t spend thousands of dollars for this 😭😭

The one school I applied to in histories past always released on their decided date, but this year they delayed decisions due to "unforeseen circumstances"
My anxiety this month has been insane

 

[Colette2552]

I’m just hoping that this time they release all decisions together instead of waiting another four days to let people know that they got waitlisted.

It’s literally never unforeseen. Like do you mean WHAT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE YEAR? More applicants less workers more qualified applicants than ever blah blah blah it’s all extremely PREDICTABLE. But I’m getting off my soap box now I just want to know :/

I enjoyed reading this... because my family just doesn't get my frustration

 

[Cowsrcool]

I think we got bamboozled yall

 

[Colette2552]

I think we got bamboozled yall

I agree. This was an unnecessary roller coaster today and for what?!

 

[LoudTree]

This is the worst

 

[justplainjane]

Yay more days of anxiety and obnoxious phone checking!!!

 

[sarlp37]

someone take one for the team tomorrow and call (not me pls I have terrible anxiety and my zoloft can only do so much)

 

[catsandsnakes]

Just got off my 12 hour shift, looks like I missed out on some anxiety-inducing stuff this afternoon 😭

 

[justplainjane]

How much do you wanna bet they watch these threads?

 

[gbug]

Maybe they are releasing decisions tomorrow?

 

[sarlp37]

How much do you wanna bet they watch these threads?

no I was literally like what if they were going to release them today but saw us stressing and decided not to

 

[graceless27]

no I was literally like what if they were going to release them today but saw us stressing and decided not to

They're like reverse sharks, they sense our fear and retreat into the shadows

 

[Cowsrcool]

I’m guessing Friday then.

 

[Dog31]

Do you guys think they maybe updated the portals based on the MPH closing today

 

[Concat265]

The amount of disorganization and disappointment I’ve experienced this cycle deserves financial compensation I’m literally so unwell over EVERYTHING I just need them to tell me yes or no so I can be at peace LOL

we should all get five complementary therapy sessions upon submitting VMCAS

 

[sazoomer4]

Do you guys think they maybe updated the portals based on the MPH closing today

Honestly think so, yeah

 

[hopefulvet35]

For those whose links were gone, did they come back eventually?

 

[futuredogtor45]

For those whose links were gone, did they come back eventually?

mine did

 

[Connecttodogs]

For the people who links went away did you apply to the mph or you didn’t and they just went away? This is a little stressful.

 

[hippo_99]

I applied for DVM/MPH and my links went away but came back

 

[alyssa13]

I'm so scared lol I fear we will hear back Friday.. good luck all😭

 

[sarlp37]

anyone wanna call and ask for an update?

 

[FutureDogtor12345678910]

Do we think today or Friday?

 

[muffin22]

I'm thinking Friday. But I'm getting so antsy!!!

 

[graceless27]

Every time I see the little Gmail notification icon I jump a little bit

 

[gbug]

[cccgggmmm222333]

Friends, I understand your frustration, but this is very much a part of the process. No school wants to tell you when decisions are coming out because while it's a similar time frame every year, each applicant pool is different, each year is different, and ESPECIALLY this year with everything going on politically. You would be on a rampage if Tufts said "You will hear 2/19" and then it got delayed for whatever reason. It's not a lack of respect; it manages everyone's expectations with the unfortunate side effect of added anxiety.

Part of the problem this year is Tufts completely revamped their application and they genuinely didn't know how it was going to go. And especially after the fiasco of over acceptance last year, they're probably being incredibly careful. You will hear back. Even though it feels like it, the waiting won't kill you. As soon as they have decisions, you all will be the first to know, I promise. Calling isn’t going to do anything.

 

[sarlp37]

I don’t think any of us are actually mad at them.. we just are all curious as to when we’ll hear back

This! I think it’s a natural progression to be frustrated when you’ve spent your whole “life” working towards this. Not actually MAD at anyone just voicing frustrations to people who I know can relate

And it’s not just impatience, it’s a constant stress of wondering when you’ll hear back and what the outcome will be. It gets very overwhelming and exhausting. No one is mad at Tufts, we’re just all hoping to hear back asap so that we can alleviate some significant stress in our lives.

 

[graceless27]

First year friend let me know that rumors say Friday

I also think waiting 7-8 months after starting and doing your applications warrants impatience 😂😂 like idk about y’all but I started these almost a year ago

being a second time applicant makes it feels like its a century, I was waitlisted from multiple schools and was waiting over the summer for decisions (and was ultimately rejected) so it felt like its been one long cycle. Thankfully I was accepted to some places in the UK but impatiently waiting for the US schools

 

[Cowsrcool]

Alright last hope let’s go 😗
