Did you receive a call to see if you had any questions?

My reference I work for said she finally talked to the admissions people today about the other applicant (so they're still calling people) and he told her it would be quite soon, but wouldn't give her an exact date. So Feb 5th seems reasonable!
"quite soon" reading this was so exciting, we're almost there!
 
New to SDN. In state. First time applicant. One of my references (a UGA grad) was called on Monday. I never got the call from Esther that everybody keeps talking about and not sure what that means...🙁

Welcome! No one knows what it means, it's all very confusing. Best of luck to you

if there are any scrubs fans out there... preparing for these final decisions like
 
I'm OOS, non-contract. I don't think any of my references have been called, but not sure they would've told me if they had
 
Is anybody waiting to hear from other schools too?

The only other school I'm still waiting to hear back from is Ross (I applied to a total of 5 schools). I just got an email from Ross about an interview. But because they are super expensive, it is definitely not my top choice. If I get into UGA, I would choose UGA over Ross any day.
 
Only applied to UGA :nailbiting:

Congratulations!! I wonder if they'll let IS and everyone else know today.

Do they accept more ppl than they have seats for? Or only accept exactly 115?
 
You know there will be a handful who are OOS and get accepted at their IS or first choice. I've aways been told seats open up. Last year, you could call and find out what # you are on waitlist. Please don't give up hope!
 
do we think rejections will come today at least or monday?
 
OOS alternate as well. Congrats everyone!
 
Does anybody know when UGA starts calling people off the alternate list? I think I'm going to call Monday to find out if they will tell me what spot I am at on the list, but I wasn't sure if they start making calls immediately after people begin declining offers or if they wait a little while.
 
From my experience being wait listed last year, they accept exactly as many spots as there are. You aren't supposed to ask what spot you are until that April 15th decision day. IS and OOS have their own separate lists and would only take a spot that is appropriate (IS only getting an IS spot if it opened, etc.). I would imagine they tell you ASAP if you were called off the list, not wait until April (in case you also decline).

Do you know of many that get called off the wait list?
 
IS moved 2 spots last year, which makes sense. A lot of people who get into their IS wouldn't go OOS if given the choice between the two. I'm sure the OOS list moves much quicker.

I'm on the SC pool alternate list, does it move?

Would you be a doll & share the response you get if you do call to see if you could find out what number you are on the wait-list? I'm dying to know where I stand too.
 
I know people were wondering this last year so I'll post my stats.

3.73 overall GPA
304 GRE 3.5 writing
3,250 hours at small animal hospitals with 100 hours of internship experience in small animalsurgery
65 hours at a large animal hospital shadowing a vet.
30 hours volunteering at a pet adoption at petsmart evey Sunday (Parker told me to get anything kind of volunteer experience, didn't matter where)
5 DVM letters of recommendation and 1 professor from undergrad.
Instate 2nd year applying, only applied to UGA
Hope this helps.
