I'm in Minnesota and there is like a foot of snow. It was -8 on Sunday. I can't get California Dreamin' out of my head. Looking forward to the warm.

Got the call at 10 am. I'm in total shock, thought I blew the interview!

OMG YOU GUYS WE DID IT!WE'RE IN! !!!!

I also want to pass along hope for anyone wait listed or those who didn't get in. This was my 3rd time applying and the first time I got any interviews. I met a girl who got in on her 4th try and I know a doctor who is double boarded and took 5 tries to get in....so don't give up if it's your dream! You can strengthen your application and come back swinging!

Congratulations to everyone who got in. I can't wait to meet you all in the fall!
 
Kim called me a little before 9 am. I missed her the first time, called her back and left her a message. I couldn't believe I missed the call...especially because these days my phone has become an 11th finger with all the email and sdn refreshings. She got back to me within 10 minutes. I cried and laughed and cried again...this is a dream come true. To those of you waitlisted, don't lose hope. I was waitlisted last year, but now I'm in! HALLELUJAH GOD IS GOOD!!!
 
Kim called at 9 this morning while I was at work. The clinic manager and my fellow staff members all stopped and stared while I answered and when I gave them the thumbs up, they went crazy! I'm sure they hear all kinds of things when they do these phone calls but it must have been something to listen to me start to cry with all my co-workers going nuts in the background. Truly a special moment.

We did it guys!!!

I asked them to repeat themselves after putting it on speaker with my fiance. A bit awkward, but I was so excited and I wanted her to hear since she really wanted us to move to California!
 
Congrats to everyone who got calls!!!
Does anyone know if all accepted applicants are called on the same day?
 
Congratulations, everyone! Quite the trip ahead of you. Enjoy the next 6/7 months. No studying, no stressing. Do something enjoyable and take lots of pictures so you can look back on it later and remember life before school. 😉

I still have one prereq to finish :/ but I'll have between May and August to do nothing but get really excited and play with my dog! 😀 I'm also putting together a "feed bucket" list (as opposed to the traditional "bucket list") of things to do before vet school that are fairly affordable and fun.
 
Guys, a quick question. I just need some clarification: if you are wait listed, then how do I check my position status? It is a bit confusing on the portal. Is your position the number right next to the colon symbol? Example: Wait listed (Position: # -- ### to ###....)

Yes. It's the first number directly next to the colon.

Would you mind if you share your stats?
I can't remember mine lol. But I'm pretty sure your GPAs are at or above mine. But I think you got an interview, so it doesn't matter! Your 'slate' is wiped clean--the grades get you an interview, but the interview gets you admission.
