Does anyone know if the VERT is doing a demo this year? Any SDNers that will be there?

You bet VERT is doing a demo this year!!! 😀

First time -- we're doing a LA airlift via helicopter! Sooo excited!!!

Check out my blog for details, but the times are supposed to be 12:30 and 2pm! I'll be participating in the demo, so don't be shy! 🙂
 
I'm a waitlister too, and good luck minikitte and Coonie!:xf: I want to study at Davis so badly, I was doing really well by channeling my anxiety into studying but now that the week of the 15th is upon us that same old anticipation feeling is creeping back. I went on a tour of Davis last weekend (just like the interviewee workshop) and was reminded of how awesome it is to be a student there, and was also visualizing myself there. Thoughts into reality, right?

Also, do any former waitlisters know how the alternate process works? Will Davis call if a spot for you opens, or will it be by email? How soon will they start notifying if spots become available? Would it be appropriate for me to call and ask about the waitlist on Friday? Thank you. 🙂

ZebraFinch, thanks and good luck to you also. Have you called to find out what spot you are, also coonie, have you checked? I really hope that we all get in!!! I wonder if anyone has turned down their waitlist spot?? 😀
I can dream right????

I was wondering the same thing about how they notify us, I think I remember that they email but maybe they call so that they can check you off if you aren't interested and then keep moving down the line?!?!

I was thinking that I will try to hold out until Monday(4/19) to call and find out where I am at.....but if someone else wants to call sooner and post the results I am game!! :xf:
 
The pre-vet club from my school is heading up to Davis this weekend, and I'm really excited to go. Anyone have recommendations as to what events to go to on Saturday? 🙂

The VERT demo sounds really neat! I'm gonna try to see to that, for sure!

I would just like to point out to everyone that this Davis thread has the most replies of any thread, and the second-most views (after the official acceptances one). That just goes to show that Davis = 👍😍👍
 
I wouldn't worry about calling to check on waitlist status. I remember calling the day I got the email and every couple of weeks afterward. No one ever seemed to be annoyed. I'm not sure how they contact you if you're accepted off the waitlist, I wasn't that lucky.
 
So Yasmin called me today to say that 8 people have yet to respond to their acceptances. So they are pretty sure that I am in. They will be able to confirm everything on Friday with me!!!!!

I AM SO SUPER DUPERLY EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀

I still can't believe it, but I need to calm down until I hear the confirmation I suppose!!!!!

YAY!!! More Davis folks!

(Minikitte, if you go to Cal poly I am 99% positive I know who you are and am excited we will be classmates!)

Minikitte, CONGRATS! 👍👍👍 That is so beyond awesome!!!

I'm a little confused though, if they overbooked by 11 and haven't heard from 8 yet that means they've at least had 6 people decline their spot (to get to Minikitte, who was #3). Is this at all logical?

Now I'm on pins and needles, #6 is just such a "maybe, maybe not" position. I hope the fact that I didn't get a call today doesn't mean anything, though. :scared: But damn, if #3 just got in (YAY, Minikitte) then it's only 3 more to #6, it's really quite close. Ugh, Thursday didn't seem so far away until now! Think good thoughts, think good thoughts...it's about time for some good luck to come my way, now that I think about it. 😉

At least I can distract myself with the thought of Picnic day, I'm going to try and see the dog breed showcase and Doxie derby for sure, and hopefully see the VERT demo. And the obligatory trip to YoBerry and In-n-Out. 😀

Time to go shopping for baking goods, ya know, just in case?
 
Okay so I just got home I had my acceptance email!!!!!!!!!!!!

AWESOMENESS!!!!!

ZebraFinch, you are so in!!!!!! Don't worry, she will be calling you soon!!!!!!!
:xf::xf::xf:
 
Oh. My. Gosh.

Trying not to have a freakout here, not trying to be preemptive, but for the heck of it I tried to log onto the accept/decline form and it let me on.
:scared::scared::scared::scared::scared:

I should not have done that!
 
Do you think I should, or should I wait and call in the morning? I really want to fill it out but am not sure if I should, I mean what if it's a mistake or they need more info or I need to wait until I get a call or an email? What if it doesn't mean anything? 😱 I wonder if Minikitte can log in? I'll probably wait and call in the morning as I would hope nothing would change between now and tomorrow morning.

I know I sound like I'm totally freaking, which I was but I am fine now, just unsure. May have to do some baking to relax a bit. :meanie:

You're in -- Congrats! Now just wait for the email and then fill out the form. 😉

So I got my e-mail from Davis a couple of hours after my phone call! I already filled out the form and accepted! =)

But I agree with Pomona2006, wait till you get the email to fill out the form.
:luck:

I am so happy for us ZebraFinch!

There goes studying for midterms this week! 😀
 
Hello SDN members! This is the UC Davis Veterinary Medicine Admissions Office. Please do not try to access the online accept form unless you have been contacted by our office that you have been accepted. The ability to access the form, does not mean you have been admitted to the DVM program. The link to this form was posted on SDN without permission from the School of Veterinary Medicine Admissions Office. If you have any questions regarding your admission or alternate status, please contact our office directly and we will be happy to speak with you. Thank you!
 
We're so naughty. :laugh: Nah, I knew I shouldn't do anything as I haven't heard anything from admissions, so I promptly logged out. I called today and spoke with Ms. O' Bryan (super nice, she even encouraged me to call tomorrow, they really understand what we're all going through). I'm now #2, and they have yet to hear from 7 people as of this afternoon. So while 6 or all 7 could still accept their spots, I'm hoping that at least 2 will be saying no. I wonder if the people who are waiting until this late in the game are waiting on other offers or just on the fence, but in any case I'm thinking positive and willing 2 people to take other offers.
:luck:😍Davis😍Davis😍:luck:

Maybe the location of the accept/decline form could be changed for next year, as I think the reason the link was found and posted was because it was the same one as last year.

Still very excited for picnic day, I just hope when I go I'll be going as a future student. 😀 (I hope you all appreciate my skillful use of smilies in my posts, I think it's become an art form!)
 
good luck zebrafinch and other waitlisters!! i'm not getting my hopes too high and if something good happens then it'll just be a nice surprise. this is my first time checking the forum in a long time.. hope you all hear good news at the end of this week!! :luck:
 
Oh my gosh! I am in! I called the office about 1pm to ask about my status and I was #1 with 3 people to hear back from, so I was sort of bummed. But then I got a call about 3 from Kim, and she said "Guess what!" and I nearly dropped the phone as I was scrambling to get out of the computer lab! Best news ever! I am shell shocked, it really hasn't set in yet that I'll be attending the school of my dreams, it's almost unbelievable. I am so very excited that we'll all be classmates, 2014 is an awesome group and I'm so proud to be a part of it.
😍:soexcited: Ecstatic beyond belief! Can't wait to meet you all!

I need to bust out the baking goods, I have lots of sweets I owe someone. 😉
 
Yay ZebraFinch!!! If you bring me the baked goods I promise that I will send them to StartingoverVet.... 😉

Hey, first Blackkat is drinking my shots, now Nyanko is eating my food, soon Penn will be taking my money. I'm going to be thirsty, hungry, and poor any day now. I'm sure once classes start my dignity will be next.

Anything left?

lol. I'm guessing that really wasn't adcom...but it would be pretty hilarious if it was! Crazy SDN'ers making a name for ourselves. hehe
 
I AM IN!!!! I am so shocked and it has not hit me yet. So, I hadn't received a call this morning so I decided to just call them and rip the band-aid off. When I spoke with Yasmin, she said that she had tried to call me and then asked if my voicemail was a male voice (it wasn't, so prob wrong number).. then she told me that I had gotten the last spot and that I was in!!!!!!! I ran into the kitchen of the exotic animal refuge I was volunteering at this morning and just said, "OMG. Davis. I got in" and promptly started crying. Then the director asked me if I was going there for undergrad or grad (I'm Asian and look really young), haha.

It's just so surreal that this is happening.. I've wanted this for years!! The waitlist turnout seemed to be pretty good this year. 🙂

Absolutely can't wait to see you all!! Especially you, LlamaSlug. 😉

Yay, congrats to those of you in off of the waitlist!! Welcome to the best vet school on the planet 😀 See you in just a few months at orientation!

And heylodeb, that was absolutely someone in the admissions office. They monitor SDN regularly and know the aliases of several 2013ers. 🙂
 
YEAH, congrats Coonie!!! Looks like a clean SDN sweep this year. 🙂

Why do I not believe you for one second, Nyanko? Since we're classmates now you can have baked goods anytime. Gotta let poor startingovervet keep something of his! DVMdream, I hope you get in off the Western waitlist, I know exactly how agonizing the wait is. My fingers are crossed for you! :xf:

I submitted my accept/decline form and got the confirmation email and page, but when I go back I can still log in and see it as if I never submitted it. Odd, can anyone else do that?

Thanks, zebrafinch! And Congrats on Davis!!

CONGRATS to you too coonie and all others off the Davis waitlist!! :soexcited: :woot:
 
Alright, I guess I can never leave well enough alone. :laugh: I got the email so that's confirmation enough. I swear I'll never go back there again!

AWESOME - maybe they really do love us. 🙂
 
This is so awesome that all 3 of us waitlisters got in!! Congrats Cooniexp and ZebraFinch!!!! =D

ZebraFinch; My accept page does that also, it is nothing to worry about, I emailed them about it the other day! =)

You doubt it, but I know for certain that people in admissions come on here. They are even able to figure out who is who when you call the office and then post here with whatever you found out. Just remember that this is a
public forum and anyone can read what you write. 😉
 
Congratulations Minikitte and Zebra Finch 👍😀!

Cooniexp: You are still my Hero! :biglove:!

Im going to school with my hero! :highfive::banana:!

Hooray! What an awesome day for us Davis Threaders 😀😀😀
 
CONGRATS ALL!!!!! 🙂 🙂

it wouldn't be too hard to UCD to figure out who I am. My e-mail addy=my SDN username. I really need to work on being more original!
 
YAY!!! More Davis folks!

(Minikitte, if you go to Cal poly I am 99% positive I know who you are and am excited we will be classmates!)

Badcats!!! I know who you are too!!!! I am so happy for us! Good to see a familiar face too!!!! =) Sorry for the delay in responding to you! =D

How did you figure me out????? :bow::biglove:

Congratulations everyone! I'm going to be applying to vet school this year... I can tell already that I have alot of stress and anxiety to look forward to! 😛
 
Thanks, minikitte, I'm glad you asked. And I'm sure the people at the admissions office know who I am, but there's nothing I've said here that I wouldn't say in person, so I'm cool with it. 🙂

So excited for tomorrow! I may have to go buy myself a sweater or scrubs at the vet bookstore so I can show off some Aggie Vet pride. Good luck sirbuckie, it is stressful but it's totally worth it in the end.

Definitely -- there will be a table with 50% off sweatshirts outside the vet med bookstore!
