I feel surprisingly good about the interviews 😳 I def wasn’t perfect but that was not nearly as bad as I thought it was gonna be!

[turtletime88]

Did anyone feel kinda not that great after the interview? I mean I didn’t do terrible but I felt that I messed up so many times and could never fully recover myself. And it didn’t help that it was totally not conversational🥲

I feel the same! I think I could've done better on every question, plus I know all my responses to the follow-ups were super confusing 🙁

I don’t know how the online ones are set up but we get 8 scenarios and we have to explain our though processes of how to navigate these scenarios basically. I think they’re similar

Same, the interviewers were not quite as friendly as the Dean said they would be lol. It definitely felt a bit awkward. I felt like I could have done better, but at least got my point across in all of them, I think.
The bright side is if I don't get in, I know where to improve. If I felt like I did awesome and still didn't get in, that would suck worse.

I believe this is a mistake. Yes the heading says Class of 2029, but the email says class of 2028, as well as saying it’s due 1/2/24, which is last year. I’m 100% it’s not due tonight and was simply an error that we’ll get an email about soon. Take a deep breath, the interview is still due on the 20th at 11:59. 🙂

Thank you 🙂 I emailed the school just incase but I am with you in thinking it was probably last years deadline and we are receiving by accident

 

[zachtop]

I tried to call but I didn't reach anyone, if you get an email back can you share?

 

[ChocolateTurtles]

Yes definitely! Im hoping that if they see enough calls/emails/posts they could send out an email for clarification to everyone but Im not sure if their office is even open since its technically still break I think

You need to sign and upload a confidentiality agreement on Kira, so don't wait until the last day of you don't have a printer!

That’s what I did, I feel good about it!

 

[indysadventures]

Good luck to everyone interviewing this weekend! You’re more than deserving and have what it takes to ace this.

I just finished the interview, and remember - EVERYONE feels awkward talking into a computer, I know I did. Just embrace it and try your very best to be yourself! Bring a water, practice beforehand, and take notes - but in the end- know you’re gonna say things a little awkwardly sometimes, or pause for a moment- everyone knows you’re nervous….. breathe and keep going! At one point I caught myself staring at myself while recording and not the camera - what are you going to do 🤣

Rooting for you! ❤️

 

[Tech_Penguin]

How is everyone feeling about it? I felt it was so so

 

[asu12u4]

I feel pretty good about it. Once I got into the roll of how it worked it seemed to work for me. It’s definitely weird just talking in a room by yourself on a computer screen. Now it’s just a waiting game. There are so many of us interviewing that it’s hard to figure out your chances even if you feel you did good.

 

[Tech_Penguin]

It’s larger than a forty out of two hundred fifty chance. Some people withdrew or didn’t even take the interview if they got into their IS

 

[ChocolateTurtles]

But then wouldnt they just have offered more interviews out? Like an interview waitlist?

 

[Tech_Penguin]

I mean that chance is already so small that they likely didn’t care to extend more interviews

 

[apoptosis09]

They had an interview waitlist up until early Jan I believe

 

[Tech_Penguin]

I meant OOS doesn’t have an interview waitlist

 

[KaraF16]

So are we thinking late next week?

 

[Tech_Penguin]

They said Valentine’s so yeah

 

[lovegod31]

How does everyone feel like they did ??

 

[yljordan532]

How does everyone feel like they did ??

Not terrible but I think I could’ve done better

 

[haileykovacs]

How does everyone feel like they did ??

i actually felt pretty good about it. there was one of the questions i know i kind of blabbed too much on, otherwise i think i showed alot more of my personality through this interview format vs. others like upenn.

 

[haileykovacs]

They said Valentine’s so yeah

they said it would be out on valentines day or before? i dont know if i missed this in an email or something sos

 

[ChocolateTurtles]

they said it would be out on valentines day or before? i dont know if i missed this in an email or something sos

They said around valentines day. Last year it was a few days after (i think the 16)

 

[Tech_Penguin]

That was also on Friday which coincides with Valentines this year. I heard this during the recorded info session btw

 

[LoudTree]

Fingers crossed for the 14th. The waiting is killing me

 

[prospectvet]

Anyone talk to admissions again regarding when they will send acceptance letters? Also, how did you guys feel about the OOS interview? I did not like it at all!

 

[justplainjane]

Guys we should hear back by the end of this weekkk! Feeling a bit stir crazy

 

[asu12u4]

In the past couple cycles they have sent decisions out on the 16th and 17th so we might have to wait until Monday. But it would be awesome if it was this Friday.

 

[apoptosis09]

Last year the 16th was a Friday, and this year the Dean said they should have decisions out by the second week of Feb, so I think this Friday is likely.

 

[drbmilysnoobs]

Happy acceptance eve everyone! We got this!

 

[LoudTree]

Today might be the day! Wishing the best for all of us 🙂

 

[LoudTree]

Just kidding they delayed it a week 😭

 

[ShaWalla]

I just got an email from VM informing us that admission decisions will be delayed. "We hope to have updates out to you all by the end of next week."

 

[littlebalto]

Welp! It’s not today 🙃

 

[apoptosis09]

One more week of anxiety

 

[dvminmyfuture]

OK - we're waiting one more week for decisions,,,but I'm trying to look ahead and see what we need to do for financial aid if accepted. The Scholarships application page Our Opportunities - Virginia Tech Scholarship Central says the VAMD scholarship applications are due June 4 2025. It then goes on to say "Prospective Students – Students applying for admission to Virginia Tech who wish to apply for scholarships first need to complete the admissions application. After submitting your admissions application, you will should receive an email from the Office of Admissions with instructions on creating your admissions portal login credentials. After logging into your admissions portal, you may login to the system by clicking on the Scholarship Central link"........but I'll say I don't think I've ever received an admissions portal for my vet school application. Have I somehow missed it? And if you all received it, what was the email title? I have looked everywhere for 20 mins, and I don't have one.

I got an email on 7/15/24 that has this title (Available Scholarship for students currently applying to Veterinary School). It’s from Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. That’s the only thing I have received. So nothing after submitting my application.

 

[justplainjane]

One more week of anxiety

Maybe we will get lucky and they will send decisions out during the first half of the week.... regardless, my phone will be glued to me with its ringer on full blast lol
