They sent everyone an email last year before March 1 updating them of their application status. Everyone as far as I understand gets them at the same time, accepted or denied

Dang it. I'm sick of being rejected haha. This is my last hope at getting in. Rejected from four other schools. Was hoping that email just meant I was still in the running but sounds like everyone got it. Now to wait for the fifth rejection... Sorry to be a Debbie downer ha ha I'm not usually this negative

I thought they mailed letters. At least they used to do this, via snail mail. Perhaps it changed last year for the first time!
 
Anybody know if you have to send a transcript even if you didn't take classes in the fall?
 
Thanks! I will. And somebody asked earlier when decisions will be sent. Last year they were sent out early March via email.
 
I know someone who got in last year and got a phone call on February 7 and an email February 10. She got early admission for being in the top 10% of applicants. So they might do early admissions again this year. I'm expecting to hear from UGA in February.

I wish I was that confident haha
 
Yes top 10% will get phone calls before regular decisions.

They send snail mail letters after the fact. Last year was the first time they did email decisions.

And no need to send fall transcripts if nothing was taken/re-taken.

This ain't my first rodeo

I love snail mail....but mostly if it is in the form of acceptance letters...🙂

Thanks for the update @Wyatt'sAunt0903
 
True story - yesterday when I was sitting outside the interview room waiting for my interview at Tennessee I decided to turn my phone off rather than just put it on silent. I noticed I had an email and it was from UGA. I had a minor heart attack because I thought it said log on to see your status. My heart was still beating out of my chest when I got called in for my interview. Lesson of the day - turn my phone off in the morning and NEVER check it 5 minutes before an interview.
 
Just saw this on the website ..... Happy New Year from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine! This year, because of the large number of out-of-state applicants to our college, we are reviewing these applications in stages. As a consequence, we will be able to extend an early acceptance to a small number of out-of-state applicants prior to January 10th. Most of our out-of-state applicants and all of our applicants from Georgia, South Carolina, and Delaware will undergo final review by our Admissions Committee between January 9 - February 15, 2015.
 
I'm definetly not in the top 10% either. To bad I'm not OOS, I really want to know their decision!! Hopefully they will let the IS people know by mid february! Have any OOS people received decisions yet?

man January 10th is tomorrow, wish we all could know so soon
 
Did anyone else get the email saying they wanted fall transcripts by February 1st? How are they making decisions already without giving us credit for our fall classes?!?!
 
i think....they probably already know who is not going to get in...and now they are just trying to make decisions on who is still in the running
 
to be accepted or alternate. I found this on the website:

The Selection Process
The minimum requirements to be considered for admission are either:

  • an undergraduate GPA > 3.0
    OR
  • GRE (Verbal + Quantitative) > 308 (1200 old scale)
Applicants who meet our minimum requirements will be further evaluated by three UGA College of Veterinary Medicine faculty members. These faculty members will review the application independently. Those candidates whose applications are viewed favorably by the faculty will be forwarded to the Admissions committee for further consideration.

The Admissions committee then calls and interviews one or more of the candidate’s references, asking a standardized set of questions. Based on the candidate’s academic credentials, the faculty file evaluations, and the interviews with the references, the Admissions Committee selects Admitted Candidates and Alternates.



so does that mean if our references got called we will either be accepted or an alternate???????

I don't think that means you are accepted or an alternate. I think it depends what your reference said and how you weigh against other applicants. Though it's definitely a good sign.
 
I can't handle all the waiting lol and all the stress eating is slowly starting to show!!!!!
 
ElephantDVM, you should start a private Facebook group for UGA CVM C/O 2019 and as more people are accepted they can join the group and everyone can begin getting to know their classmates.
 
I wonder how many people have had their references called and how long after people get accepted. I'm glad one of mine got called but I'm still really nervous

Same here! My references got called but I'm still super nervous.
 
As far as I know, my references haven't been called, but I'm OOS and definitely not top 10%... Got on to the alternate lists at two other schools and haven't been rejected from anywhere yet, so I was hoping at least for a reference call! Not too confident at this point! Lol oh well, there's still plenty of time.
