Congrats everyone! I look forward to seeing you around next year if you shadow in any of departments since I'll be a slave to the attendings and what not.

Where are you seeing that it is under review?
Also, now that people are being accepted, feel free to PM if you want any specifics about the area and what not. I will say a lot of housing doesn't become available until later into the semester. So if you're super eager and have begun looking, don't be surprised if you don't see much.
Oh well done all!!!!! I looked in on here quickly last night and was really feeling for those waiting to hear from last weeks interviews. Sounds like they threw everyone off with a different call-back schedule this week!!
So happy for you all!!! Yay!!!!!! Congratulations!! hope to meet you all later in the year!!!

unrelated question: i put off taking calculus during my postbac, but it now appears i'm gonna have to cross that bridge. does anyone know how legit this course has to be? for instance, could i take it online or at a community college here in the city since it would probably be much cheaper than an on-campus/4-year institution?
I think a community college should be fine, but I'd call with specifics about the course you are considering just to be sure. You don't want to do anything to prevent you from starting with us in the fall!
Just got my acceptance letter! This is so exciting!
Hey ya'll 2019's. 🙂 I was thinking of starting an email thread for interesting news/research links/general stuff that we could share with each other. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll set something up! You can PM me your email address and I can get a thing going!
I'm trying to get the energy to possibly come down for happy hour and meet some interviewees. I had an overnight last night so I woke up at 2 PM and am struggling to put real pants on.

I called and they said next round of invites will be next week!
For those that got accepted, how long after your interview day did you get the phone call?
Most people have been getting called the Monday after the interview, but I didn't get called until after 6pm on Tuesday and at least one person got called on Wednesday.
Funny, pleading and begging with my phone does not appear to be making it ring either.
Try not to stress too much yet. Last week we didn't get called until Tuesday and Wednesday.
Also, I got the invite to the penn vet 2019 Facebook page today!

Same here. Getting nervous about all this waiting.
I am! Hopefully this Friday more interview invites will be sent out and both of us will be chosen!!
So....I called Penn today. The person who answer said that no more invites will be sent after the 17th. This makes me feel horrible 🙁
Like others I have waited, but no news is worse for me. I'm OOS and haven't received an interview invite.

Yeah I called today too and they said invites should all be sent out by the 15th and the rejection letters will be sent out after that date. Hopefully we all get invited this week!
I too called today and spoke to Dr. Keiter, he told me that my application was still competitive but that the last of the interviews would be sent out by the middle of the month. Crossing my fingers for an interview. Penn is definitely my top choice.

Completely forgot to send a photo for the interview, was supposed to be sent by last week. Great first impression 
You can send it late, but I didn't send one at all and it clearly didn't affect my acceptance! 🙂Completely forgot to send a photo for the interview, was supposed to be sent by last week. Great first impression
That's from me!! And it is actually TRUE!! I'm in the C/O 2019. I was interviewed on Large Animal day (Valentine's Day 2014) and put on hold the Monday after. Then lots and lots of waiting. I was named an alternate for the C/O 2018 after interviews. I kept in touch with Mac Keiter all through spring and summer and he was a fantastic help. In May, I asked him about when I could set up a file review in case I had to apply again (via email) and he told me to call him. That's when he told me that they were offering me a deferred acceptance for 2019 if I wanted it, which I did. So in September they sent me my official acceptance letter, which is now framed on my wall because I'm a dork.
Hope that helps! Good luck and don't lose hope! <3

Well, it's 5:00pm so I guess today is not the day. I'm starting to get really anxious 🙁
Nothing here either 🙁
