So, Roanoke is the closest mainstream airport (about a 45 minute drive). The other option would be Charlotte, NC, which is bigger and much farther away (multiple hours).

Dr. Pelzer said in class today that they had over 1600 applications for the next class. Gook luck to everyone!

Thats disgusting haha

Lynchburg, VA or Greensboro, NC are also options for airports. Sometimes I find flights cheaper to Lynchburg than Roanoke for whatever reason, but it's 1 hr 45 min drive to Blacksburg from there.

Just got an interview for the dual degree program so I'd guess everyone will be hearing soon! 🙂🙂

that's awesome, congrats and good luck!!

Checking email approx every 30 seconds... send help

Current first year here - good luck to all of you! Don't worry if you get waitlisted at first, it will all work out. Feel free to message me with any questions!

I was waitlisted for out of state last year. Didn't get called off. I'm a nervous wreck this year. Hoping for another chance.

Fingers crossed for you!

1600?! 😱

 

[CamelVet221]

Does anyone know if they will send out denial notifications as well, or just interview invites?

 

[flameshock]

1600?! 😱

I believe vmcvm usually gets the second largest applicant pool in the country, though I'm unsure why.

I'm hoping it's the former. If it's good news, great. If it's bad news, just break our hearts now and get on with it, lol.

I agree, waiting and not knowing is so painful!

Last year, at the interview dinner, Dr. Pelzer said that VA-MD sends out 1 rejection letter for those that apply but will not be interviewed.

After that, if you're interviewed, you are either admitted or put on the wait list.

I was on the OOS waitlist last year, did not make it off the list. Fingers crossed I make it out this year. I gotta sign out of the forums, I can practically hear all of our hopeful hearts racing nervously and it is not doing anything to calm my nerves.

They are going to send them this late on the day?

 

[bombai]

Why not? Who knows, really. Sometimes I hear from schools at the strangest hours and even on weekends.

 

[EastCoast94]

They are going to send them this late on the day?

Most college offices don't close until 5:30

 

[agility_tyme21]

Seriously spazzing over here.

 

[aggievethopeful2021]

I would not be surprised if they only send a few out today, and then send the rest out over the course of tomorrow. 1600 applications is a lot to go through and notify everyone of their status..

 

[southcpupvet]

Seriously spazzing over here.

I know what you mean - I keep trying to write this paper and then suddenly my email pops up and constantly refreshes itself! Haunted? Maybe.... Crazed vet applicant? Maybe... It's still debatable

I think all they do is push the send button. Like they would have already made decisions. If that's what they do, then everyone would get them today.

Last year, all of the emails went out within about half an hour.

 

[cdo96]

C'MON VAMD. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. SEND THEM

 

[14gsp93]

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is SENDING OUT THE INVITES #elf

 

[SkiOtter]

CAN THEY SEND THEM ALREADY

 

[singhb09]

I went from working diligently to hiding in dog ward every 2 minutes checking my email. I knew I should've stayed away from SDN today

Glad to know I am not the only one who does that.... 🙂

Both schools I've heard from already have actually sent them out around this time for what it is worth.

 

[cgr1818]

Guys I don't think it's coming today

 

[cdo96]

That's disappointing

 

[learmstr2]

Maybe tomorrow.

 

[DaDappette]

All this worrying about when these e-mails will come are driving me crazy
I don't think I'll be concentrating very well at work tomorrow....

 

[indi93]

Fingers crossed for you!

Thank you. Keeping my fingers crossed too

 

[samta247]

Sorry guys, I feel like an dingus. I was just relaying the info she told our class. Didn't realize she wouldn't do what she said...
Hopefully today! Crossed fingers for you all!

 

[kittenmittens524]

I have an exam today and I've been refreshing my email since 6 am. And yes, I know 6 am is a very unrealistic time to get an email but i can't help myself

at least I'm not the only person with that mindset! #craziesunite

 

[Jebb]

Well I just got a rejection email 🙁 so you guys may want to check your emails

 

[cellios050]

Well I just got a rejection email 🙁 so you guys may want to check your emails

I got a rejection as well, OOS. Good luck to everyone!!

 

[DaDappette]

Well I just got a rejection email 🙁 so you guys may want to check your emails

I just received the same e-mail as well... 🙁🙁
It's not looking too great for me (o/3 so far). Good luck to the rest of you

 

[emlady09]

Received a rejection as well 🙁
And last year I had an interview! 😕

 

[kittenmittens524]

i just got a rejection 🙁

 

[singhb09]

Nothing YET, which I guess follows the whole "no news is good news" line of thought...but now I'll be refreshing my email for the next hour non-stop waiting for at rejection email

[cohen2000]

Got an invite!

 

[agility_tyme21]

INVITE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[indi93]

I just received an email saying that I'm on an interview waitlist. Was that a rejection?

 

[14gsp93]

I'm on an interview wait list too

 

[kittenmittens524]

I just received an email saying that I'm on an interview waitlist. Was that a rejection?

no, the rejection i got was just a flat out rejection. I'm assuming that means if people turn down their invitation to interview, you'll be invited to interview

 

[cdo96]

Rejected, OOS.

 

[gjsmize88]

I just received an email saying that I'm on an interview waitlist. Was that a rejection?

Nope, rejections were told they were not considered for admission at all.

Rejected :/

I was put on the interview waitlist.... What's the likelihood I will potentially get an interview?
