just wondering- are a lot of people already accepted into their top choice? I feel like UW is pretty late to notify
I'm still waiting on 3, one of which is my top choice
OOS rejection
Dual degree long process but in a universe where the dvm/phds of other places + UW deny me, I would not attend UW solo-DVM over my IS.
yea I got into my top choice in jan thank the universe

Hi everyone, I am new to SDN. I am a first-year IS applicant and was informed today that I am number 8 on the alternate list...so nerve-wracking!
Do you know how much the OOS waitlist typically moves and when we should expect to hear about spots opening up/changes in waitlist positions?
I know for sure it went up to 70 for my class that got a call they were off the waitlist and that was sometime in July. And in 2020 they went up to 90 at least. I think more got the call after that because someone actually got off the waitlist a week before school started! It was during orientation. I know that sounds crazy in terms of planning but the school made it work and helped them transition. Not sure what number they were. I think they are good at updating in regards to waitlists. They really start to really move after decision day and a lot of the time people will keep you updated on here on what position they were and when they got off the waitlist!
I know this is super different but any chance you know how quickly or chances of the IS waitlist moving and if they update us with where we are?
Thank you!!
Honestly communication is very easy, I would wait at least till decision day but I think you could always reach out and see if things have moved, even over email it’s always worth a shot to ask in my mind. There really weren’t too many updates given about IS waitlist in our class I think the last we heard was 4th but that doesn’t mean more people didn’t receive an acceptance off the list just that’s all I saw from our class on SDN.
A lot of my class members have never even heard of SDN before so not everyone was updating on when they got off the waitlist!
Follow up question when that time comes who would I reach out to in admissions? Would that be Jenna or someone else?
I think you can reach out to Jenna or admissions is fine. I’m sure many people on the waitlist will be wanting updated so just be patient and only email after sometime has gone by I do think they will send out updates our class wasn’t “filled” I think until July and even then someone got off the waitlist after that. I know it’s terribly hard to wait but they will keep you in the loop and it’s helpful when people on SDN help keep everyone in the loop as well!
Absolutely, thank you so much for the information!! 😊

Does anyone know what the presentations on admitted student day on March 3 are about? It would be a lot harder to swing the March one versus April, but if they are really important I don't want to miss them.

Is there any hope of an offer at #110 on the OOS waitlist? In the email they said between 90-150 OOS waitlisted students have been given offers in recent years but from what I've been able to find it never seems to go above 100

I doubt applying a second time in and of itself would increase your chances, but having an additional year of experiences to form your app and potentially your essay can certainly make you a stronger candidate.

I was told by a DVM/Professor that admission committees do like to see repeat applicants, it shows resiliency and commitment to the profession.

Hi! This is my second time applying with better grades and better experience. Rejected twice now. Improving your application definitely shows your seriousness about becoming a vet. But it also is a bit of a gamble -- each year is dependent on that pool of applicants and who you're competing against. I believe it's a number of things, but definitely try again because you never know if that will be the year they pick you!!
I think there’s definitely a chance! Like I said a lot of my class had never used SDN before so if they were on the waitlist they weren’t updating on here. The waitlist movies super fast once summer comes around because a lot of people on the waitlist have already accepted offers elsewhere.

Hey, to anyone that has already accepted there spot for the fall term. If you guys wanted I could start a GroupMe for us. I’d also be interested in potential roommates
