Hey guys, anyone know if we need to send updated transcripts from fall if we're on the waitlist? If so, should we send them directly to the admissions office?
You can! Yes that’s what I did.Hey guys, anyone know if we need to send updated transcripts from fall if we're on the waitlist? If so, should we send them directly to the admissions office?
Awesome thank you!You can! Yes that’s what I did.
^ Do we need to send transcripts? I know if we get off the waitlist we'll need to send them, but would sending them right now help/hurt us? (I didn't get the best grades last semester, unfortunately) 🙁
I just sent mine today, so I can update on here if I am to get a response!Has anyone requested a file review session and received a response? I sent an email Monday morning and haven't heard anything back. They're probably being flooded with emails, but I'm still worried my email was missed!
I sent mine right on Feb 1st and havent heard back yet either.Has anyone requested a file review session and received a response? I sent an email Monday morning and haven't heard anything back. They're probably being flooded with emails, but I'm still worried my email was missed!
Can we request a file review if we've been waitlisted??
On the e-mail we got back in December it said we could.Wondering the same!
They sent an email on 1/29 with all of the info for the info sessions. The first session was this past Wednesday, and they'll be holding additional ones every Wed. through 3/10. Contact Shelby for the link.Is VMCVM hosting any information sessions? I havent got a single email.
Ok thanks, I guess they don't give people on the waitlist links to the information sessions?They sent an email on 1/29 with all of the info for the info sessions. The first session was this past Wednesday, and they'll be holding additional ones every Wed. through 3/10. Contact Shelby for the link.
Hmm idk. I would think they would, but I guess that's a question for Shelby. I was able to go to info sessions at another school while on the waitlist.Ok thanks, I guess they don't give people on the waitlist links to the information sessions?
Yeah I already emailed her. I've been doing info sessions at other schools I'm waitlisted at as well.Hmm idk. I would think they would, but I guess that's a question for Shelby. I was able to go to info sessions at another school while on the waitlist.
I emailed Shelby this morning and they aren’t currently offering information sessions to those on the alternate list :/ she said they’ll be doing some for those applying in the current cycle that we can attend but doesn’t have any dates yet. Kinda annoying but I guess I understand...Ok thanks, I guess they don't give people on the waitlist links to the information sessions?

Yes! Thank you for the offer. I know some wildlife vets have come out of VMCVM, and I know there's a wildlife elective, but what other opportunities are there for people interested in wildlife? Does the school have connections to zoos/aquariums/wildlife rehabilitators? Also, is there hands on experience during the first year?@CyroCap there are a few of us current students around if you have any specific questions about VMCVM 🙂

Also not a wildlife person so I'm honestly not sure about what opportunities are available there.Yes! Thank you for the offer.

Anytime a person rejects their seat an alternate will be called. Most students choose to wait until close to April 15 to decide though, so most waitlist movement happens in the 2-3 days right around that deadline.Do you know when they start making alternate offers? Is it after April 15th?
Nope, I did that a bit last year when I was on the alternate and don’t want to get my hopes up again. Last year it moved 12 places, but usually it’s only 5-6. It’s a shame they won’t just give us our placements now so we know for sure if there is even a possibility.Anyone else on the Alternate list that has casually started looking at housing?
I’m a MD IS alternate (rejected last year so yay for progress). I work full time as an ambulatory equine technician currently and we spend 6 months in FL (November through May ish depending on clients) and then we head north to CT/NY for the summer months. The thing is I move with my fiancée two cats and a dog as well as my mare and weanling. I don’t want to be caught completely with my pants down should I hopefully get the much awaited call, but I also don’t want to sign a 6-month lease up north in the hopes of getting the call lol.
good luck to all the alternates! I know we’re all anxiously waiting for April 1
I'm in a very similar position. OOS Alternate. Will be moving with my fiance, two dogs, and a 32-year-old gelding! Anxious about getting a "last min" call as well. I wish we could know our placement sooner.Anyone else on the Alternate list that has casually started looking at housing?

Worse case, there are many hotels near the school. So if you have to spend a few weeks in a hotel before securing housing that is possible too. I know most of the nice apartments booked full by mid February last year.I'm in a very similar position. OOS Alternate. Will be moving with my fiance, two dogs, and a 32-year-old gelding!

Not yet! 🙏 Patiently waiting for April 1stAny alternates taken off the waitlist yet???
Nope, it has no influence. You just need to pass with a C or better.Hi everyone, quick question - I'm currently on the waitlist for VMCVM, and I know that if we were to get in then we'd need to submit our transcript to the school. Do y'all know if a few poor recent grades would be a reason for the school to reject a student after getting in? I haven't failed any classes, but I do have multiple C's that I've received within the last 2 quarters. I won't make a bunch of excuses for this - it's just been difficult lately and my grades have taken a major hit. I'm hoping for a chance to get into VMCVM, but I'm terrified that my grades might mess it up for me. 🙁
It varies from year to year, the first time I was waitlisted I think I moved 2 spots (though I was pretty far down the list so I didn't keep checking), and my second time I moved 3 or 4 spotsDoes anyone know how much the IS waitlist moves?
Does anyone know how much the IS waitlist moves?
From what I could find in the threads for c/o 2024 and 2023, it looked like it only moved 10-15 spots :/ Hopefully it actually moves more than that and it's just that not everyone posts on SDN... but that's all I could find.How much does the OOS list typically move?
I’m waiting till the 1st. Fairly certain they won’t respond if I ask today.Is anyone emailing tomorrow or waiting until April 1st? I'm just sooo anxious lol
Is anyone emailing tomorrow or waiting until April 1st? I'm just sooo anxious lol
As someone who tried reaching out a day early the first time I was waitlisted, I can confirm that when they say April 1, they mean April 1 and you either won't hear back until tomorrow or you'll get a reply asking you to wait until tomorrow. I know it's tough and nerve-wracking, but hang in there!!!I’m waiting till the 1st. Fairly certain they won’t respond if I ask today.
In all honesty I think that's actually what I did my second time aroundI was going to email the second since the email says “after April first” in bold letters and that made me nervous lol...
Good plan!So schedule send my email asking for my spot at 12:01 am april 1st? Okay got it! Lol
I think I am going to do that as well unless someone on this forum gets their rank tomorrow lolI was going to email the second since the email says “after April first” in bold letters and that made me nervous lol...
I read on the 2024 forum that someone asked on April 1st and received their rank that same day! So I'm gonna aim to ask tomorrow lolI think I am going to do that as well unless someone on this forum gets their rank tomorrow lol
