I have an interview tomorrow too! What time is yours?
Interview is tomorrow! What did Dr. LeFebvre say at the orientation? Fear and excitement are caused by the same hormone?

Another rejectee here (congrats and good luck to everyone who got an interview, btw!)
Sorry if this question is out of place, but I didn't want to start a new thread unless I had to. Does Davis give file reviews? I've searched the UCD website and old SDN threads for information on that, but haven't found anything. The vet I work with said that she got a file review after her rejection. That was ~8 years ago, but I'm hoping the practice still exists. If anyone could enlighten me, I'd be very grateful!

Super down 🙁. I'm going to be in Las Vegas on the 26th and--unable to fight the urge to check my e-mail on my phone--will be despondent with a rejection. It doesn't make it better that a fellow applicant will be there and if they get an acceptance and I don't...I will probably die. Might just have to stay in Vegas forever....
OTOH if you both get an acceptance, you'll be in the perfect place to celebrate it in a way that you will never, ever, ever remember again.![]()
Only 3 more weeks and we'll all know!
That's because it probably has been that long 😉
I think I started working on my personal statement in March of the year I applied...
So, have you or other current students ever heard from applicants that were interviewed, but not accepted? I have concocted a new fantasy that they don't exist. That Davis invites close to 220 students for interviews. 30 or 40 have already accepted at other programs and decline. Then another 20-30 that interview poitely turn down acceptance offers. I've analyzed the data. It must be true!!!Oh, the things we do while we wait...

Our very own Nyanko interviewed and was then rejected. Successful the next year, though! 🙂
There was an applicant my year who also applied from Pierce. She interviewed and was placed on the waitlist so far down that it was basically a rejection... She's now at another school.
Ah, waitlist!!! I did not factor this into my complex algorithms. (pounds away on calculator) Thanks, Jessica. By the way, have I asked you to go peek at my file yet??![]()

lol...I wish your theory was accurate, but as others have stated, we definitely know people who have been interviewed and then rejected or waitlisted. The waitlist does move here though...a bunch of people in my class got in off the waitlist! So don't give up hope if you get waitlisted. 🙂
And I'm not 100% certain, but I believe that they send out more interview invites based upon the number of people who decline, so in the end they should have their +/- 220 interviewees. But all things considered...the odds are in your favor if you got an interview! 130-ish spots and 220 interviews -- that means 60% of interviewees will get accepted. I don't know how you feel but coming from a college that accepted less than 15% of applicants, I loved having those odds! The biggest hurdle is getting an interview...after all that narrows your "competition" from 1k to 220 for ~130 spots.
Think positively...! 🙂
Damn your unimpeachable logic and evidence-laden reasoning. Anyway, three more weeks... 😉
Thanks for the support, my friends.
Right. And now she is "helping" to "design" the new curriculum. I will bury your comment away deep in my conspiracy files.

Indeed I was rejected after my first interview.
If it helps, I went into it thinking that they made a mistake interviewing me and really didn't impress anyone.
I know two people (now graduated) who were each interviewed and rejected twice, and accepted on the third try.
Relax! We have truly done all we can do 🙂
Does anyone now if Davis grants deferments for medical circumstances?
This Wednesday...about to barf I'm so nervous.
I've heard from other students that it's better to vomit before the interview than during. Hope that helps.
I got a new avatar to wish you luck.
Does anyone know what IS tuition will be like for Davis next year? According to the Davis website, IS tuition for 2011-2012 is about 32,000, but according to the VMCAS general info chart, in 2012, UC Davis IS tuition with be 42,000. Anyone know what's up with that discrepancy? Thanks 🙂
