I believe all the events were virtual! Highly recommend going if you can. They basically go over their admissions process, curriculum, etc. It's worth it!

[ErPikBeary]

Idk I have a masters degree and I feel like it’s being nearly ignored by most schools. Undergrad GPA should not be the sole determinant of if an application even gets reviewed.

People with advanced degrees should be considered before anyone with just an undergraduate degree. I’m sorry but it’s not fair that my masters degree is being weighed less than my undergraduate prerequisites for admissions.

I agree with this. It doesn’t make sense. And I am someone who is benefiting from a good undergraduate GPA, which I don’t feel reflects who I am as a student now (especially bc I am older and did my UG degree over 10 years ago)

 

[vampyrica]

i’ve gotta say, joining SDN, as much as it has messed with my head, you guys are some of the most amazing and supportive people i have ever met. i absolutely love that we have this platform to talk to each other and support each other through this tumultuous process 🖤

 

[vampyrica]

ah, i forgot! here’s my timeline for reference:

08/31: VMCAS submitted
09/07: KIRA Invite
09/12: KIRA submitted
09/25: Supplemental Review
09/27: MMI Hold
12/06: MMI Invite

I received an interview invite yesterday! It scheduled for 12/13 which is the day after my birthday. I am so so hopeful! I’m assuming that’s the last interview date. This is my final time applying to vet school so I hope this is a sign I’ll get accepted.

best of luck to you!! so apparently, they extended the interview cycle to January and increased the number of people invited to interview to 330 instead of 300. originally, this was supposed to the final interview date!

[vampyrica]

What do you mean by “on hold”?

The MMI hold. All/most applicants get put on this waitlist to determine if you will get an interview or not

Oh… I haven’t been checking. I’ve done this a few times and realized that if I obsessively check portals, it sends me into depression with the whole process. I’m so glad they sent an email.

Yes!! As a first year student, I would definitely recommend going to the event. Meet some current students and ask all your questions about the program, what life is like in Tucson, if people have experience with things you are interested in and just general questions about the whole process! We all want you to go into your interviews feeling the best you can about Arizona and why you want to go there. So if you can attend, please please do! And yes it is always virtual.

Love that you got an interview invite. I have also pretty much felt that it was a no, I’ve been on hold since 9/20

please stay strong !! again, if you scroll through this thread you will see how many times i’ve said i give up.

anything can happen! i want to estimate maybe 50-60 invites are left but i’m not sure! when they emailed me that they had 80 interviews left to send out, that was on nov. 25th.

there’s still time!! keep your head up!! you got this!!!

I signed up for the event! Thankfully it will be after work so I have time to be fully invested!

I had to request off the morning of my interview and I didn’t want to have to take off the whole day (saving my PTO for a nice vacay in May/June) so I’m glad I can do both!

 

[vampyrica]

For those who went through the interview process, what was your experience? I'm re-reading my VMCAS application and essays, and reading what the interviews were like in the past! Not looking for what specific questions they asked, just some advice! I'm under the impression both situational/ethics questions and personal (why do you wanna be a vet) questions will be asked c:

 

[Really??]

Just Google MMI interview help. I haven’t interviewed with Arizona before but I’ve done MMI interviews with 2 other schools and both were similar in how they were structured: everything was situational with how you would respond to the situation. Some questions had an ethical component, but mostly it was just how you would respond. My advice would be to acknowledge both sides of the “dilemma” and point out something on each side but then to choose your response and back it up with facts of why you choose that course of action.

[BLOT0411]

thank you!!

I just interviewed Friday and it went okay. I would definitely suggest watching the videos they send you so that you can get a pretty good idea of what the experience will be like. They do a pretty good job, imo, of prepping you before the actual process. Nerves still come of course (I probably stuttered a bit during the first question lol), but once you get through the first 1-2 questions you get the feel for it.

 

[nicoledoesvetstuff]

Just for those who have not been selected yet for an interview, I emailed the admissions department, and they said they have around 30 interview spots left available. Also, if you don’t get selected for an MMI, you will be notified the first week of January apparently. Let’s hope we’re among the 30 ❤️

On one hand, that is so nerve wracking that there's only 30 left. On the other hand, I'm glad they are not making people wait until February 19th if they were not lifted off the waitlist. If I hear anything new at the informational meeting on Thursday, I will definitely share here. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the last interview date will be January 10th, but I'm not sure.

did they happen to say when the last interviews are going out?

 

[nicoledoesvetstuff]

did they happen to say when the last interviews are going out?

They did not explicitly say when the last interviews are going out. However, since they said that those who aren’t getting selected for an interview will receive rejections on the first week of January, I would guess that would be the last week that interviews are going out.

 

[vampyrica]

Wait I'm kinda thinking maybe Dec 20th would be the last date to interview? If there's only 30 left, I'm going to assume thats one interview date versus multiple. Maybe they are trying to get them done before the end of the year?

They're going on break so it'll probably be early January

 

[vampyrica]

Ah okay! So then those final invites will be sent that first week, along with rejection letters, then following week would be the interview so Jan 10th!

Got my interview invite today! Third time applicant, waitlisted last cycle!!

Does anyone know if they are still sending out 300 interview invites? Or did they increase that number?

 

[vampyrica]

Does anyone know if they are still sending out 300 interview invites? Or did they increase that number?

Earlier in this thread, someone said they increased it to 330. I will be attending the informational meeting tomorrow night so I will share what they say about how many applicants, how many KIRA and how many interviews.

dec 20

 

[210vainilla]

OOS applicant and I received an Interview invite 12/10! I was placed on MMI hold on 12/5, and my interview is scheduled for 12/20. When picking dates that was the only date available with only two times left.

Unsure if thats just the times offered in the batch of invites sent out or if that is the final day for interviews in general or for the year?

 

[BigBang1234]

I assumed if I got put on waitlist for interview since last month, there's no hope then...

 

[vampyrica]

I assumed if I got put on waitlist for interview since last month, there's no hope then...

Wrong. I was on hold since 09/27, received an invite 12/06, and my interview is tomorrow. If you scroll through last years thread, you will see people on hold for over a month too who got invites.

 

[BigBang1234]

I got place on 11/18, so I just worried now

[vampyrica]

I understand, it is super nerve-wracking. But I am telling you, it doesn't mean you are disqualified from an interview. I was on hold from September 27th and did not receive an interview until December 6th. That is 10 weeks I was on hold. 2 1/2 months.

Take deep breathes, it is not over yet.
