A low of people feel that way after they exit the interviews, tell your friend not to worry. All you can do is take a few deep breaths and remember even if you "blow it" for one section, there are plenty more and you can more than make up for one bad score so push it out of your mind. They're not trying to weed anyone out at this point. You've all proven you are academically competent! Remember 67% on average are offered admission. They want people who can communicate under pressure because being a vet can be very stressful and communication is key. Everyone just does their best and sometimes you feel like you could've done better but maybe you really did extremely well. There's no way to tell. Maybe you rocked it but are not offered admissions because the people that are also interviewing also rocked it. It's extremely variable and highly dependent on the others interviewing.
Thank you! She said she blew it on pretty much most of it so I am just trying to figure out how I can fix my mindset and relax myself beforehand so I don't spaz out...
The official line is that you'll have offers by the end of January. Our hope is they come sooner. That's all we're allowed to say 😉
I interviewed with the school yesterday, and @Coopah's advice really helped me - take deep breaths and just show them who you are! I thought some of the rounds were actually interesting and fun (and so did the other interviewees in my group 😉). I'm sure MOST of the people there will be as nervous as you are. I definitely was, and the thought of talking to 10 different people for 7 minutes was scary at first, but I ended up liking the idea. I've interviewed with three schools so far, and UC Davis was the most enjoyable tbh. Sleep well and be confident!
Well they interview approximately 300 candidates over four days... So about 150? Not sure why it matters though as everyone is ranked based on their MMI scores at the end
Some practice organizing answers and timing it. Some don't practice at all. To each their own.
Hey, what'd you end up deciding?
They updated their post and said that they were going to go to the interview!
Well there's the holidays, and it does take some time. Then they have to decide how many they're inviting. I know you want to know ASAP but try to be patient 🙂
They typically over accept some, but usually a decent amount comes off the wait list as well. One of my best friends here was accepted off the wait list (she's also one of the best performers in the class). No one will know unless you tell them.
Smart watches are allowed, but they ask you to silence them so your watch doesn't create noises that can be distracting to other applicants.
Are you joking or serious?That was fun! Guys I had fun in the interviews lol hope everyone did well

I don't know about them but I had a lot of fun during my interview!
Don't worry! A lot of people feel that way. Most of those people still got in! I'll be routing for you.
Trust the process. We’re just waiting because Davis is ensuring everyone received an equal evaluation!Oh thank goodness, I was pretty worried about that! There are certainly stations I would have rather have started at and was hoping that they would recognize that kind of thing, thank you for sharing!!!The reason why it takes so long is because they have a statistician take a look at all the raw scores and ensure it was fair. Were there any slight differences in each persons experience? Did the order you go in affect anything? They take *everything* into account and the math for that takes at least a month sometimes more. Everyone gets adjusted scores by the end of it, and that makes this process much more fair. No one gets an advantage based on which circuit they do that way.

While this sounds promising, they are going to have to adjust me quite a lot of points to put me in the running, I think lol!The reason why it takes so long is because they have a statistician take a look at all the raw scores and ensure it was fair.

I think historically about 67% were offered admissions. That includes people on the wait list.
On average about 67% there have definitely been years that are more or less. Depends on the year.
same! lol
If they need anything from you they'll tell you in the portal
Thank you!
You'll be great!
