I have only heard of those who have been accepted. I work with an applicant who also hasn’t received any news. This wait is so much worse when there are people who know they’re in already

Noo! I’m so sorry to hear that. Please apply again so we can still meet you! I know you can do this! Also, I believe you can get a file review and see where you can beef up your application for next cycle.
🙁 I'm so sorry, I hope you stick around SDN because you have been such a lovely, positive presence. Good luck getting ready for next cycle
I was rejected as well.. super bummed about it but hopeful for next year.. we got this!
The class of 2022 will set up a page for you guys, typically not until after April 15th though
Yeah I just found that, definitely not a current student. The official page will be a closed one that only people who accept their spot in the class will get added to.
You can certainly ask, I'm not sure if they'll tell you or not, or if they even have people ranked that way
I am in the class of 2022, so let me know if you guys have any questions, especially about the new curriculum, which started with my class! I'm also from Knoxville, so let me know if you have any questions about the area!Congratulations to all that were accepted! I can't wait to meet all of you!
Congratulations to all of you guys on the waitlist too! Unfortunately, I don't know how many people are taken off the list. I know one of my classmates was originally on the waitlist (in-state) so it's not impossible to get off it! I don't know of anyone that is an OOS that was on the alternative list, but it could be that it was never mentioned...
The current curriculum started with the c/o 2022. It's exactly what they would have talked to you about on your interview day. Longer time in clinics so classes have been moved around and such compared to the old curriculum.
Congratulations to all that were accepted! I can't wait to meet all of you!

There are some scholarships available but you don't apply to them individually. Sometime in your first semester, they will send out a form for you to fill out and then they use that information to see if anything fits. These usually aren't a whole lot though ~1000K, but it is still better than nothing! Once you get started, Dr. Kirk will send out emails regarding external scholarship opportunities as they become available.
Schools don’t have to even offer you a file review. Some schools also won’t schedule any until after the deadline either. UTK probably is on spring break this coming week. Chill.
It is in fact possible for multiple people to have have family/health emergencies at the same time.
Yeah. And I was saying some schools don’t let you until after the deadline. So be grateful they even 1. Do them and 2. Do them this early. Don’t complain you have to wait a whole WEEK to get a file review because some people are out for family emergencies.Actually, they did tell us in the email that we could contact them for a file review after March 8th. And their spring break is March 18th-22nd
Um working at a job ahah I would be getting my questions answered if there were someone available! And it better start revolving around the questions that I have. They clearly said contact them after March 8th but I guess it's my fault I should have known to wait a week or so lol.
That is really not the attitude to have. I think it was mentioned earlier that even if the customer is paying for services, if they are being unreasonably demanding and/or threatening, the person supplying the service has every right to send that customer on their way. And that is the way it should be. For some reason things are expected to be supplied on immediate demand these days, and that is not the way the world works. Pleasant surprise when it does, but that isn't reality. These people have an entire school to run, and admissions is a small piece of it. I think a little understanding and respect will go a long ways.
This reaction is a little much, to be honest. A lot of smaller schools have smaller admissions crews and may be more affected by unexpected emergencies. Just as you'd like your information, the 2nd person may be dealing with a lot more than usual and have delays.
Hey! thanks for sharing your experience. Yes, i guess I understand now. I was just going by the date that they gave me on the email and I really have no clue how reviewing works so I guess I got really frustrated when they told me to wait few more weeks. This was my first time applying so not too familiar with the process. But your experience did helped me explain a lot! Thank you so much! 🙂Hey dude, so sorry to hear about this! I understand your frustration and understand the pain of rejection. I was frustrated too when I got rejected the first time I applied! But please try and be compassionate and understanding towards the people in admissions! They work hard going through all the applications and sometimes, things happen that are out of our control!
I would like to let you know that even if you do get a hold of one of them, it might still take more time to get your application review. When I got rejected, I didn't get my application review until May! This is of course, to be expected since there are other applicants that want their applications reviewed as well. I completely understand not being able to stand still, but patience is an important quality to have in veterinary medicine
